I am dedicated to helping college students and young adults discover their inner strength in a safe non judgmental compassionate space. All are welcome.

We all face challenges. I believe people seek out therapy when the ways they have used to navigate those challenges no longer work. Sometimes unrealistic thoughts and beliefs can get us stuck. I help unwind those thoughts, connect to your inner strength, and find your way back to living life on your own terms. I practice the gold standard practices for anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD which include CBT , CPT, and EXRP. You deserve a life you love. I am dedicated to helping you discover your inner strength in a safe space.
