When Anxiety Makes It Hard to Switch Off
Anxiety can follow you from class or work into your relationships and downtime. You might second-guess decisions, avoid uncomfortable conversations, or spend so much time worrying about doing something well that starting feels impossible.
We can work on understanding your worry patterns, responding to anxious thoughts, and approaching situations you have been avoiding. The goal is to help you make choices without anxiety making every decision for you.
Before becoming a therapist, I competed as a college athlete in pole vault and also coached collegiate track and field. These experiences gave me firsthand knowledge of the pressure, discipline, relationships, injuries, uncertainty, and identity questions that can come with high-performing, competitive environments.
I understand how difficult it can be to balance ambition with well-being, manage expectations from yourself and others, or adjust when anxiety, injury, burnout, graduation, retirement, or another transition changes your relationship with yourself, your team, and the people you love.
ADHD Support for Students and Adults
Knowing what you need to do and being able to do it consistently are not always the same thing. If you have ADHD, you may be frustrated by missed deadlines, unfinished tasks, difficulty keeping routines, or the feeling that you are always catching up.
Our work can include:
- Finding manageable ways to start tasks and follow through.
- Building routines that fit your actual schedule.
- Working on organization, time management, and prioritizing.
- Addressing the frustration and self-criticism that accompany these challenges.
- Understanding how attention and communication difficulties affect your relationships.
We will try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust what does not. You do not need to become perfectly organized to make meaningful progress.
Individual Therapy for Relationship Struggles
Transitioning to college or a career can bring complicated relationships alongside professional demands. You may be navigating dating, a breakup, roommate tension, changing friendships, loneliness, or new boundaries with family.
I offer a place to talk honestly about what is happening and figure out how you want to respond. We can work on expressing your needs, handling conflict, recognizing recurring patterns, and making decisions about relationships that leave you feeling uncertain.
Work with me is individual therapy: you attend on your own, and our focus is your experience, choices, and well-being.
What Working Together Looks Like
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and strengths-based approaches to help you understand patterns and practice different responses.
Some sessions may focus on a difficult experience or relationship. Others may involve working through a decision or trying a strategy for something that keeps getting in your way. When useful, we will choose a manageable step to practice between appointments.
You do not need to arrive with clear goals or a plan for fixing everything. We can start with what feels most difficult right now.

I accept Blue Cross and Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Medicaid, Molina Medicaid, Ambetter, Midlands Choice, and Aetna. Self-pay appointments are also available.
