College, graduate, and medical school can stretch you in every direction. You're expected to perform at a high level, stay connected to others, and somehow manage your well-being in the margins. And life doesn’t stop—family dynamics, grief, trauma, and difficult relationships often show up right alongside exams and deadlines. I work with students navigating anxiety, depression, academic pressure, test stress, and that constant feeling of being “on.” Many of my clients are also students of color, facing the added weight of underrepresentation, unspoken expectations, or feeling like they have to work twice as hard to be seen the same. Therapy can offer space to slow down and regroup—to process what’s happening beyond the surface, explore tools that actually fit your life, and move toward feeling more steady, present, and whole. You deserve room to care for yourself, not just survive the semester.

✨ College can be exciting—but also overwhelming. You’re figuring out who you are, building new relationships, and trying to keep up with classes, work, and everything else. But if you’re carrying the weight of family dysfunction, toxic friendships, anxiety, guilt, and lack self confidence, it can feel harder to focus on your future. Maybe you… Worry about a parent, sibling, or you're own addiction issues. Want to explore and get support for traumatic experiences. Struggling with toxic friendships. Feel drained by family drama. Wonder if you should distance yourself from your family but feel guilty for even thinking about it. Worry you’ll ruin a good relationship because of past experiences. Find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, or struggling to set boundaries. Feel like the “black sheep” who got away—and carry guilt because of it. If any of this feels familiar, you don’t have to handle it alone. 👩‍⚕️ I’m a therapist who specializes in helping students and young adults break free from unhealthy patterns, heal from family dysfunction, and build confidence in who they are and what they want. 💛 You deserve to feel secure, supported, and in control of your own story. I'm here for you. Schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation today. *I am a specialized relationships therapist, so I do not take insurance but we might be able to file for reimbursement from your insurance company. I can help you with this. Reach out today.

When we are facing life stressors, we often focus on addressing the immediate symptoms. This can be very adaptive. However, if we only ever focus on the immediate symptoms of our struggles, then we may never recognize or have the possibility of healing the cause of our pain. I believe that therapy provides a powerful space to explore, understand, and ultimately heal the root causes of our struggles. I approach my work with insight from a variety of therapeutic frameworks, including Narrative Therapy, IFS, Solution Focused Therapy, & Attachment Theory. I am also formally trained in EMDR which I can incorporate into therapy. I approach therapy with an anti-oppressive lens to assist clients dealing with the impacts of homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, and misogyny and am versed in supporting individuals with a wide range of challenges, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, and chronic pain. I come to my work not merely as an outsider with expertise, but as a neurodivergent and transgender individual myself who has lived experience navigating many of the issues I work to help others heal from. It has been my privilege to help a wide variety of clients, and I look forward to learning how I can help you too!

The majority of my training has been in college counseling and community mental health. My areas of interest and expertise include trauma, OCD, social anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder, emotion dysregulation, issues of overcontrol, nonsuicidal self-injury, depression, and LGBTQ+ issues.

I support clients with anxiety, trauma reprocessing, family and relationship dynamics, and attachment/ inner child/ parts work. I enjoy helping clients "free themselves" from stuck parts or narratives, build self-confidence, heal childhood or relational wounds, and feel empowered in your own strengths instead of a "problem to fix." My approach draws on a variety of modalities including IFS, narrative therapy, strengths-based, and somatic/ body work. My style is relational, warm, and easy going. I believe healing happens within the context of authentic and supportive relationship. I aim to make our time together filled with curiosity and compassion.
