There is nothing more isolating than feeling like you’re alone in your experiences—constantly Googling what “normal” would feel like.

Your life feels everything but normal, and in an attempt to make your life seem like everything’s fine, you don’t talk about your anxiety. You don’t talk about the crippling stress you feel at work. You don’t talk about how you haven’t eaten today. You desperately want to feel normal, and you want everyone to think everything is okay.

But you are far from okay. You constantly wonder if other people feel the way you do. You wonder if the people making the grades or qualifying for the team are stressing as much as you are. They make it all look so easy.

When you step into my office, I want you to know that you aren’t alone. I’ve been there, too. You don't have to feel bad or apologize for being yourself; you are always enough and you can always grow and welcome new realities, if you want to.

I have worked with adolescents, teenagers, and college students through mood disorders, behavioral concerns, eating disorders, anxiety, body image, athletic performance, and substance use.

When I’m not in the office seeing clients, you can catch me playing sports, rubbing Ghost’s (my dog) belly, cooking, reading, exercising, and watching Rush—one of my favorite movies.
