Support for Students & Faculty

When “doing your best”

starts doing too much.

Student Anxiety

College life shouldn’t feel like constant panic. If you're drowning in deadlines, test anxiety, perfectionism, or racing thoughts, therapy can help. I support overwhelmed students dealing with academic burnout, high-functioning anxiety, imposter syndrome, and sleep issues. You don’t have to carry it all alone. Learn how to focus, regulate your nervous system, and thrive inside and outside the classroom. Support for undergrads, grad students, and nontraditional learners.

Faculty Mental Health

Academia demands everything—and often gives little back. Professors, PhD candidates, and university staff are burning out under the weight of expectations. I offer therapy for faculty and educators facing chronic stress, overwork, compassion fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia. Whether you’re navigating tenure, grading marathons, or institutional pressure, your mental health matters. Let’s reclaim your boundaries, well-being, and joy in the work you once loved.

Perfectionists & Overthinkers

You do it all—and you do it well—but the cost is catching up. If you’re stuck in overthinking, all-or-nothing cycles, burnout, or relentless self-pressure, I specialize in therapy for perfectionists, high achievers, grad students, and professionals with high-functioning anxiety. Whether you’re performing well on the outside or falling apart inside, you’re not alone. Let’s interrupt the spiral and build a life that honors both your drive and your peace.

Take a Step Forward

For the Overwhelmed Student or Faculty Member:

When “doing your best” starts doing too much.

Are you a college student, grad student, or university faculty member who feels like you’re always one step away from falling apart—even while others think you’re thriving?

If you're constantly striving, never resting, and carrying a mental checklist that never ends, you might be experiencing what’s often called high performer anxiety—a blend of stress, perfectionism, and burnout that hides behind a “good work ethic.”

Sound familiar?

You pull all-nighters to meet academic or departmental deadlines
You overthink everything—assignments, emails, decisions, relationships
You're always available, always helping, always hustling
You feel guilty resting when there’s still more to do
You fear being seen as “slacking” even when you're exhausted

Whether you're a student trying to keep scholarships, impress advisors, or manage multiple part-time jobs—or a faculty member trying to publish, teach, and survive institutional politics—you may be running on fumes.

And still... you keep going. But at what cost?

Therapy for High-Achieving, Anxious Students and Faculty

You don’t need to collapse to prove you’ve worked hard enough.

I specialize in helping students, professors, researchers, and campus professionals explore the real impact of burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism—and build strategies for emotional regulation, recovery, and healthy ambition.

Together, we’ll work to:

Interrupt the “all-or-nothing” thinking and productivity shame
Address sleep struggles, racing thoughts, and social comparison
Set compassionate boundaries with yourself and others
Reconnect to purpose and joy without losing your drive
