If you've been feeling emotionally overwhelmed and it's affecting your sleep, school, or relationships, schedule a free 15-minute consult to get started.

I specialize in helping young adults manage stress, anxiety, feelings of isolation, insomnia, depression, or feeling like you're not good enough that can accompany being a college student in an academically rigorous environment. If your previous ways of dealing with challenges are not working, you find yourself drinking more than you used to, not sleeping well, or feeling unable to connect with your friends and family, this is a good time to get additional support. I take an active role in helping you get back on track with a personalized approach to maintaining your health and well-being. Together we will explore the connection between how you live and how you feel, and identify the areas that feel out of balance. For the people I work with, traditional talk therapy is often not enough and we may incorporate meditation and mind-body practices. Our mental health is impacted by our environment, sleep, physical activity, what we eat, relationships, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors–and I believe our mental health care should include these elements as components of the whole system. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss if we are a good fit to help you achieve your goals!
