From High School through Young Adulthood
I have worked in Higher Education settings ranging from a large state school to a business school, Ivy League institution, and a private college for over a decade (in addition to my own experience at a music conservatoire). In teaching, assisting, counseling, and advocating for college students I have observed some common challenges they face. The #1 issue I have seen is failure to reach out when they are struggling, usually due to some combination of shame/stigma, challenges navigating systems, and cultural valuing of individualism. Help is available and I want to stop students from suffering in silence.
Pre-College
Anxious about college applications or preparing to go to a college you weren’t able to visit in person? I have successfully supported high school juniors and seniors through the lead up to college, including managing the stress of this difficult time and helping students find the perfect fit for them. I ran a 4 week pre-college workshop last year to help rising freshmen get emotionally prepared for the transition, and integrate those lessons into my individual work with high schoolers.

College students
The past year has been particularly challenging for many college students who had to quickly transition to online learning and, for some, return home. Whether you’re struggling with classes, being cooped up with your parents for the past year, roommate challenges, dating, or anything else, you might find it helpful to talk.
