Navigating College: Surviving Grocery Store Run ins and Existential Dread

Ah, college. It’s often hailed as the time of your life—at least that’s what everyone loves to remind you when you’re back home for the holidays. You know the drill: “How’s school? What are you doing with your life? Any plans for internships? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?” Meanwhile, you’re just trying to survive, and grab some nutella.

Listen, it’s totally fine if college isn’t living up to the hype. Yes, you get to eat ice cream for breakfast and stay up way too late with friends, but it’s also a time full of stress, confusion, and more than a few sleepless nights. You do…

About Me

Hi! Welcome to my corner of the therapeutic universe! I'm thrilled to invite you on a journey toward understanding, growth, and healing. Picture our sessions as a collaborative adventure, where we navigate the landscape of your mind and emotions with curiosity and compassion. I believe in the power of understanding the intricate connections between mental and physical well-being, drawing from my background in microbiology and nutrition.

Outside of therapy, you’ll find me hiking in the beautiful Colorado mountains, spending time with loved ones, or diving into a good book. I love staying active and am always seeking out new ways to nurture my own well-being—whether through mindfulness practices, exploring nature, or cooking a nutritious meal. I believe in a balanced approach to life, blending curiosity, compassion, and adventure. If we work together, I hope to help you explore the same in your own life!

Specializing In...

ADHD

As an individual with ADHD, I know that living with ADHD can affect focus, organization, and daily functioning. I help individuals better understand their ADHD symptoms and develop management strategies and self-compassion.

Anxiety

Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic attacks, I offer effective, evidence-based techniques to help you reduce worry, manage stress, and regain control over your life.

OCD

OCD can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, it is manageable. I work with individuals to reduce compulsions and obsessive thoughts through structured therapeutic approaches, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Trauma

I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care to help you process past traumas, address PTSD symptoms, and find pathways to healing. My focus is on creating a safe, supportive environment where you can rebuild trust and strength.

Life Transitions

Life is full of changes—whether you're starting school or a new job, moving to a new city, or navigating a major personal change, I’m here to help. I specialize in helping individuals manage the stress, uncertainty, and emotional impact of significant life transitions.

Self-Esteem

The majority of Americans are negatively impacted by low self-esteem. Struggling with low self-esteem can affect all aspects of life, from relationships to career success. I work with clients to build confidence, self-worth, and a stronger sense of identity, empowering you to live more authentically and fully.

MY PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that true healing and growth come from within. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to uncover your inner strength and wisdom. Grounded in the mind-body connection, my approach integrates science-backed techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and polyvagal theory, recognizing that mental and emotional well-being are deeply intertwined with physical health. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, OCD, trauma, or life transitions, I am here to support you with compassion and curiosity, helping you better understand yourself and your patterns.

My goal is not to "fix" you but to empower you to explore the deeper roots of your challenges and find lasting change through self-discovery. Therapy is a journey, one that honors your unique experiences and inner light. I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can speak openly, heal, and grow, trusting in your own capacity to create a life aligned with your values and inner wisdom. I will be with you every step of the way.
