Your time in school is such an important and unique time in life, and it can feel frustrating when mental health issues hold you back from truly thriving in this environment. Anxiety can make tasks feel so overwhelming, and it can be hard to function. You have the desire to be productive but find yourself avoiding tasks.

My goal as a counselor is to help others UNLEARN how to be their own worst enemies. Perhaps you're feeling so low or worry so much that it doesn't seem like you are fully living life anymore.

Who would you be if you believed you actually could? If you knew you already are? My approach to therapy centers on the belief that “healing is making whole.” Whether dealing with issues of addiction, depression and anxiety, self-knowledge and self-worth, sexual orientation and gender identity, trauma or relationship concerns, life transitions attention is, therefore, given to the whole of the individual – heart, mind, body and soul. So many of us feel stuck, repeating patterns of behavior...
