Are you a college student navigating the complexities of academic life, relationships, and future career plans? I'm here to support you through these challenges and help you thrive both personally and professionally. I understand the courage it takes to share your innermost thoughts and feelings, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe, trusting environment where you can explore these experiences. Whether you're dealing with the anxiety of a major life transition, exploring your identity, or striving to achieve a healthy mind-body balance in demanding environments, I’m here to help you develop adaptive strategies and foster growth.
My approach is grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship, where we can explore your aspirations, dreams, and deeper desires for connection, belonging, and purpose. I continually invest in my professional development, drawing from my extensive experience in both challenging and rewarding environments to offer you the highest level of support.
I offer both virtual and in-person appointments to provide flexibility and convenience for your busy schedule. To get started, feel free to text me directly at 312-646-0809 with a brief introduction, and I’ll be happy to share available times. You could also email me to arrange a consultation and discuss how we can work together effectively.
