Trying to keep up with school, family, and everything else?
School & Performance Pressure
Feeling constant pressure to perform, keep grades up, choose the right path, and look like you have it all together.
Anxiety, Stress, & Burnout
Racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, irritability, or feeling mentally drained from trying to manage too much for too long.
Transitions & Identity Questions
Navigating independence, relationships, family expectations, and figuring out who you are and what matters to you.
A Respectful, Evidence-Based Approach
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related evidence-based tools to help teens and college students build real coping skills, confidence, and clarity. Just as important, I treat younger clients with the same respect I give any older adult: I listen directly, collaborate honestly, and never talk down to you.
How We Work Together
Therapy is active and collaborative, and we move at a pace that feels manageable. Here is what the process typically looks like:
Start With Your Goals
We begin with what matters to you: what feels hard right now, what you want to change, and what progress would actually look like in your real life.
Understand the Patterns
Together we map the thoughts, emotions, and habits that keep you stuck, whether that shows up as overthinking, avoidance, conflict, or burnout.
Practice Real Skills
You will learn practical tools to manage anxiety, handle pressure, communicate clearly, and make decisions with more confidence in school and beyond.
Build Independence
As things improve, we focus on maintaining momentum so you can trust yourself, handle future stressors, and move forward with more stability and self-respect.
