The ultimate goal is to help you to learn the joy and peace that comes with self-acceptance.
Your parents came here for the “American Dream” but you are living a nightmare. You keep quiet for fear of disappointing them, even though you are an “adult” by society's standards. You experience crushing depression and anxiety, feeling that you are not good enough or always striving for perfection. If you can relate, then maybe I can help. I have over a decade of experience helping students ( undergrad, grad, non-traditional aged, etc.) become their best self as most of my career has been working in counseling centers. Therapy with me is tailor-made to your experience, context, values and identities. The ultimate goal is to help you to learn the joy and peace that comes with self-acceptance.

Determinants of nontraditional student status: A methodological review of the research
2015, Journal of College Student Development
This article presents a review of 21 years (1990 to 2011) of multidisciplinary research on nontraditional college students that focuses on determinants of nontraditional student status and research methodology. The purpose is to address the methodological hindrances that have contributed to deficit-based views of nontraditional students in scholarly research. Specifically, the goals of the study are (a) to identify determinants used to classify nontraditional student status beyond older age, and (b) to provide a systematic analysis of methodological and theoretical approaches used to interpret findings on nontraditional students. Study findings are used to draw updated conclusions about conceptualizing nontraditional students and ways that scholars can promote a more accurate depiction of nontraditional students in the research.
