My remote therapy practice is focused on college students who need social and emotional support while they are away at school and young adults who have come home and are struggling with independence and decision making. I also provide guidance for parents as they support their kids through these critical transitions. I believe that our school and college preparation systems have not provided adolescents and young adults with the social and emotional development they need to advocate for themselves, take risks, find personal fulfillment in their work, and live independently.
My clients tell me I bring laughter, light heartedness, zero judgment and flexibility to every session in order to work through even the most difficult life situations. I offer Individual Therapy for college students and young adults and Parent Guidance for caregivers of all age groups.
I invite you to reach out by email. I am always willing to schedule an initial discussion free of charge to discuss your situation and what kind of therapy would be a good fit for you or your child/young adult. Please visit my website for more information about my practice. You will also find a blog with insights about mental health and parenting.
