Being a student is a non-stop balancing act of priorities. Are you in need of change but not sure what direction to go in? Life is unpredictable, but that doesn't mean you have to be overwhelmed by it. Maybe you're going through a difficult transition, dealing with chronic issues, or feeling burnt out from the constant grind. I can't wave a magic wand and make it all go away, but we can work together to make it more bearable. I believe you have the right to rest, to be, to thrive.

I offer both traditional talk therapy and practical skills/tools to create noticeable growth in your daily life. Sessions with me may involve self-exploration, creating new habits in your day-to-day life, sitting with difficult emotions, taking time to relax in your body, or doing that one thing you've been putting off. This space and time is for you.

If you're still unsure about the whole therapy thing, feel free to reach out for a free consultation. I function from a space of compassionate honesty and direct communication. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by being curious and open to change.
