Are you a college student who is "spiraling" with anxious thoughts that keep you awake at night? Are you smoking or partying to help you sleep or get relief? If so, you are not alone and I am ready to explore this with you. Many of the young adult clients I work with have experienced this, along with growing up in a chaotic or dysfunctional home. These experiences can lead to obstacles setting boundaries, perfectionism, or an underdeveloped sense of self, which can interfere with relationships, academic or athletic performance.
To address specific needs, I tailor sessions by integrating various therapeutic skills and tools.
With 20+ years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), I specialize in working with the young adult population. My background includes serving as a therapist and a professor on college campuses. While my therapeutic style is informal, non-judgmental, and flexible, I am also direct.
While mental health and substance use challenges are at an all-time high for young adults, your generation has played an instrumental role in decreasing the stigma around seeking therapy, and I am here to assist. To ensure we are a good match, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss how we might work together.
