Welcome—I'm so glad you found your way here! I specialize in working with college and graduate students because, from personal experience, I know how exciting and overwhelming this stage of life can be. It can feel isolating and confusing—let’s normalize that. It’s a time when you never seem to have enough hours in the day to get everything done. Everything is new and exciting, yet also completely overwhelming. Maybe you're struggling with perfectionism, that nagging feeling that you're never doing enough. Or maybe you're rolling your eyes right now, thinking that pushing yourself this hard is just part of achieving everything you want—and you'll sleep, eat, or move your body eventually. Maybe that’s true... but there’s probably another way to go about it without sacrificing your well-being or your goals. Perhaps you're caught in the trap of comparing yourself to others—whether it's their intellect, social status, appearance, body, or the way they "seemingly have it all together." I get it. Admitting this to yourself, let alone to a therapist, might feel like the last thing you want to do. But here's the thing—I’m here to help.
