What do you do when what everyone calls "the best years of your life' just aren't??

As a college student you often face adversities such as a lack of stability, increased social and pressures, and a strong push to...

College can be exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. It’s a time of big changes, big questions, and a lot of pressure—about who you are, where you belong, and whether you’re doing “enough.” I work with college students who are navigating anxiety, body image struggles, perfectionism, and that nagging feeling of not measuring up, even when everything seems fine on the outside. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or just off, therapy can be a space to slow down and figure out what’s r...

I also worked as a community therapist with teachers, parents, and students, to help integrate three Boston's public schools. In California I completed a...

Anxiety is a learned behavior and it can be unlearned. Your brain is not your enemy and it isn’t trying to make you worry; it is just repeating unhelpful messages from the past.

In order to change the way you think and feel, you can change your old habits and practice new skills. There is no more valuabl...

Through a holistic lens that recognizes the importance of the mind-body-soul connection, I can assist you in uncovering and working through patterns, thoughts, and experiences that are no longer serving you while re-awakening joy, connection, curiosity, and ease. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for reflec...
