My practice is focused on supporting undergraduate and graduate students navigate the complex challenges of higher education. My office is located just a block from Duke's East Campus. The transitions experienced by young adults can be overwhelming and challenging, especially in a changing world. Academic demands and social pressures can bring anxieties to the surface. Executive Functions can be challenged in unexpected ways. Many students feel they must hide their struggles rather than seek support My approach focuses on: Creating a safe space where you can drop the mask and be authentic Developing practical strategies for academic success and personal growth Building resilience and confidence to handle both current and future challenges Empowering you to thrive, not just survive, during this critical time Whether you're struggling with focus, feeling overwhelmed by coursework, navigating social dynamics, or adjusting to college life, you don't have to face these challenges alone. Seeking support isn't a sign of weakness—it's an investment in your success and well-being.
