Finding your footing in school, relationships, or a new stage of life can feel challenging—especially when you are balancing your own needs with expectations from others. I offer a warm, collaborative space to better understand yourself, work through what feels difficult, and move toward a life that reflects what matters to you.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a teacher, college counselor, advisor, and coach, I bring an understanding of the pressures teens and young adults face. I earned my master’s degree in social work from Columbia University to deepen my work supporting mental health and personal growth. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate high school and college, manage academic and social pressures, explore identity, and prepare for life beyond school. Together, we can address anxiety, self-doubt, technology and social media habits, and the uncertainty that often accompanies greater independence.

As a former Division I athlete, I also understand how closely performance, identity, and self-worth can become connected. I enjoy supporting athletes as they manage expectations, strengthen focus and confidence, work through setbacks, and balance the demands of their sport with the rest of their lives. Whether you are preparing for competition, navigating a changing role, or transitioning out of athletics, our work can help you pursue your goals and support your well-being on and off the field.

I also welcome adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. We can explore recurring patterns, strengthen communication, and develop boundaries that make room for your needs and values. I have a particular interest in working with women navigating parenting, changing family or career roles, and questions about identity, purpose, and meaning. When you are accustomed to taking care of others or holding yourself to high standards, therapy can offer space to consider what fulfillment and success mean to you.

My approach is supportive, practical, and centered on your goals. Together, we can build emotional awareness, develop ways to manage stress, and turn greater self-understanding into meaningful changes in daily life.

You do not need to have a clear plan to begin. I would welcome the opportunity to help you explore where you are, what you need, and how you want to move forward.
