✨ 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.

I also help clients develop healthier, more effective coping skills. Together, we'll work to deepen your self awareness and build on what is good, strong, and true about yourself.
