College can bring a lot of change at once. You may be managing academic pressure, adjusting to greater independence, or figuring out who you are outside of the expectations you’ve carried with you. On the outside, it may look like you’re handling everything while anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, or concerns about food and your body are taking up more space than you want.

I enjoy working with college and graduate students who are curious about themselves and want to understand the patterns keeping them stuck. I work with students navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, OCD, anxiety, eating disorders and body image concerns, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.

I especially enjoy supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and queer, first generation, and multicultural students. Together, we can explore how your identity, culture, relationships, and experiences shape what you’re going through while making more room for who you’re becoming.
