College asks a lot of you. Perform, achieve, figure out who you are, all at the same time, often while managing anxiety, pressure, and expectations that never seem to let up. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone and you're not broken.

I'm a therapist who works with college students and young adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, identity, and athletic pressure. As a former athlete myself, I have a particular understanding of what it's like to tie your sense of worth to performance, and what it takes to untangle that. My approach draws on neuroscience and the mind-body connection, so we don't just talk about what's happening. We actually work to change it.

This is a space where you don't have to have it figured out. You just have to show up.

Fun Fact
I'm a former athlete who discovered that the mental side of performance is where the real work happens. That realization is a big part of why I became a therapist.
