Nice to meet you
When worry and overthinking take over, it can feel like your thoughts are running the show. My role is to help you slow down, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies that bring calm and confidence. I work with college students and young adults navigating stress, self-doubt, and the pressure of academic, career, or personal expectations. I aim to create a space where honesty and humor coexist, helping you feel supported and gently challenged as you take an active role in your growth.
