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. You tell yourself it won't be like that next time, but the cycle continues. It can be even more challenging when you are also trying to adjust to a new environment and maintain ...

Each of us has unique strengths and skills, developed through their personal experiences and stories, but we sometimes underestimate ourselves. When we encounter obstacles or feel overwhelmed, our own abilities can seem out of reach and we begin to practice negative thoughts towards ourselves and others. I am here to help you navigate those stressors and burdens, while supporting you towards gaining a deeper understanding of your own identity. It would be my privilege to provide you with a safe ...

When is the last time you intentionally gave yourself (or others) grace? No really… when was the last time? Life comes at us quick and if we’re not careful, we’ll find ourselves struggling with unforgiveness, anger, self-doubt and more; because we allowed the battles we face to win. The truth is, they don’t have to win. We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can learn to control how we respond. We can make the necessary changes to show up in this world in a way that brings us joy and...
