Transitioning into young adulthood is difficult enough. Coupled with the impact of a now-fading pandemic, it’s no wonder that many young adults report feeling distressed and unprepared to launch into a healthy independence with their self-esteem and confidence intact. I work extensively with young adults struggling with the transition into and out of college, who may be experiencing anxiety and depression, to help make sense of this difficult period in their lives; together we will collaborate and create a path forward. I also specialize with adults dealing with grief and loss, and work with communication and relationship issues.

Life is a journey, it may be a cliché, but it's a statement of truth. Now imagine traveling that journey in a car. Sometimes the road is smooth, and other times, we hit a bump or two and keep on going. Maybe a pothole slows you down, so you pull over because you can't move any longer. You're stuck and can't figure out how to get moving again. You realize you need someone to help you get back on the road.
