We cannot change the past but we can change our relationship with the past, which ultimately sh...
When navigating life, sometimes you don't have the feedback, tools, support or insights that will help you resolve issues or move ahead in your life.

I work with college and graduate students who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—even when things look “fine” on the outside. Many of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship patterns, or a persistent sense that something isn’t quite right. My approach is psychodynamic, meaning we look beyond symptom management to understand the underlying emotional patterns, relationships, and life experiences shaping how yo...
