During college, it's not unusual to feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you want closer friendships. Maybe you get anxious when you talk to new people, or you feel lonely or down. Maybe you're falling back into a familiar depression or returning to high levels of anxiety you hoped wouldn't follow you to college. It can be hard to think about going to therapy when you don't even know what you'd say. If you feel badly about yourself or you feel hopeless, it might be hard to think anything will help. ...

Many of the students I work with appear to be doing all the “right” things on paper, yet still feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who they truly are. You may be high-achieving, creative, or deeply thoughtful, but internally exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, or chasing expectations that never quite feel attainable. In our work together, we intentionally slow the pace. We explore what’s driving the pressure and gently reconnect you with your own voice, values, and sense of...

It is normal that you want to avoid it. However, the worst part of Trauma is that it continues. I would like to help you work through it, separate the past from the presen...
