You might look like you have it together—but when it comes to relationships, things feel confusing, draining, or one-sided. Maybe you keep ending up in the same kind of situationship, ignore red flags, or feel like you lose yourself trying to make things work. I help women break out of these patterns, build real confidence, and learn how to set boundaries without guilt—so you can feel more secure, clear, and in control of your life.

We may have all asked ourselves at one time or another..."How did I (or we) get here?" During these times, talking to someone who understands helps. I have helped many college students/young adults with adjusting to college life, academic stressors and relationship difficulties. I am skilled in helping students manage anxiety and depression. I believe that understanding you and the reasons you are seeking counseling as essential to our work together. We will employ practical strategies you can utilize outside of the office. Students will often ask me, "what is my homework?" It will feel empowering to work on your goals both in and outside of therapy.
