10 years in practice
The possibility of a better tomorrow starts with action today. I offer in person and telehealth appointments, along with flexible scheduling.
I work with college students who are navigating stress, trauma histories, substance use concerns, and the challenges of emerging adulthood. My treatment approach integrates CBT, somatic awareness, and trauma‑informed care to help you understand your patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build confidence in your ability to cope. What sets my practice apart is a focus on real‑world application skills you can utilize in class, relationships, and daily life combined with a supportive space to explore your story and goals.
