College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety that won't let up, a low mood that's making it hard to get out of bed or keep up with classes, or pressure to perform that never seems to ease. Maybe it's a relationship, a roommate situation, family stress back home, or just feeling like you don't quite fit in yet. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I'm a licensed professional counselor, and I've been working with CU Boulder students for over 15 years. I understand the particular pressures of student life, from finals and grad school applications to homesickness and figuring out who you are.

In our work together, we'll talk through what's going on, and I also use body-based approaches like Brainspotting. Anxiety and stress often live in the body as much as the mind, so when talking alone hasn't been enough, working with both can help you feel calmer and more grounded.

I see students in person at my office, which is on the bus line near campus, and online anywhere in Colorado. I offer a sliding scale so therapy is affordable on a student budget. What we talk about stays between us, within the standard limits of confidentiality, even if a parent is helping pay.

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation, so you can get a feel for whether we're a good fit. Reach out anytime. I usually respond within 24 hours.
