I specialize in working with adults, young adults, college students, and parents/caregivers who want to feel less anxious, less overwhelmed, and more present in their lives. Many of my clients are facing major life transitions, feeling held back by old patterns, or wanting to explore different parts of themselves. And many of the parents I work with are struggling to be the parents they can or want to be. Together, we'll address your struggles with your partner(s), friends, or family members. Contact me here on Psychology Today, or reach out via our website: www.collegetherapycenter.com.

Waitlist for new clients
I am grateful for the gift of working with each of my clients as they navigate life's path. I work to provide a supportive and open place to connect with individuals and to allow space for deeper work, particularly around trauma, anxiety, depression, identity work, and life transitions. Bringing my authentic self to session is also always a priority. Work-wise, I'm a social worker and founded Virta Therapy Collective after working in clinical leadership at a trauma center, in an outpatient practice, at a domestic violence shelter, as a clinical director in a nature based therapeutic program, and in community mental health.

Suffering is a common part of life, and as painful as it can be, it can also be a great source of change and growth. I believe a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental space is essential in order for you to feel supported in sharing your story, emotions, and participating in a change process. I also am the type of therapist that will challenge you, ask questions, provide insight, and work with you collaboratively to address what is most important to you. I place a large emphasis on the therapeutic relationship- using an integrated approach based on the needs of each individual.

Many of my clients have learned that their experiences can be described as "trauma", and that trauma is often "stored in the body." These experiences can range from major life events, to buildup of chronic stress, to difficult relationships from the past. My clients often are curious how their early life, attachment with caregivers, or past relationships have affected them. Somatic and relational therapy can help to heal traumas of all kinds that are carried in our bodies and minds. My collaborative and flexible approach means that you have a voice in how we work on things together, and we go at a pace that works best for you.

Life often has challenges, transitions and unpredictable events that can leave us struggling or feeling overwhelmed. During these times, it can be challenging to know where to turn. I realize the courage and vulnerability it can take to turn towards therapy. You being here already shows your strength and resilience. I believe that at the root of successful therapy is a meaningful relationship between therapist and client.

Using a warm, casual, active style, I help clients find their own way toward growth and health. In a world that typically looks at the surface, I will work with you to look at the deeper parts of yourself and your life so that you can make lasting change that moves you toward your goals. Although our past experiences have helped us shape who we are, they do not need to hold us captive; I help you focus on what is working now and how we can make it better. I primarily use a somatic lens, helping you tune into your body's wisdom and healing. I also offer prep and integration sessions for expanded states of consciousness.

Overwhelming self-doubt can surface quickly and powerfully at any age, especially during big changes. A new school or job, personal loss or rejection, living on your own for the first time, can all impact your sense of safety, worthiness and connection. The urge to isolate, to not be a "burden" to others, is common, but being alone in your thoughts just makes it worse. I offer a private space to share your struggles, fears and current coping methods without being met with judgment or an agenda. We will work together to build your sense of self, agency and communication skills, and deeper trust in your ability to navigate change.

**Currently not accepting new clients** I believe that therapy is a joint venture between the client and therapist. It is a way to learn about how each construct the meaning that forms our lives and our feelings and to take responsibility for constructing them to be what we wish. My role as therapist is to correct, understand, empathize, suggest and confront. Therapy can be in turn difficult, fun, painful, confusing, boring, upsetting and once in a while transcending. Because the construction of meaning in our lives is active, I am not a passive listener but an active participant in the process of relationship and change.

Therapy provides the time and space to reflect and gain insight into past and present experiences, thoughts, and feelings. In my practice I create a warm and accepting environment where people feel safe and supported expressing and exploring their emotions, telling their stories, and growing personally and emotionally. Using an integrated approach based on the specific needs of each person, the focus is building upon existing strengths and adding new coping skills while reducing distress.
