As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in supporting college students navigating the unique challenges that come with this important life stage. Whether it’s managing stress, anxiety, depression, academic pressure, relationship struggles, identity exploration, or adjusting to major life transitions, I’m here to help you find balance and build resilience.

I understand that college can be an exciting yet overwhelming time, full of new opportunities but also unexpected hurdles. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, so my goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel safe to express yourself openly. Together, we’ll work in a collaborative way that respects your goals and values, helping you develop practical skills and insight to thrive both in school and beyond.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based techniques tailored to fit your needs, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): to manage thoughts and behaviors that impact your mood and motivation

Strengths-Based Therapy: to build confidence and capitalize on your personal strengths

Motivational Interviewing: to help clarify your goals and spark positive change

Trauma-Informed Therapy: understanding how past experiences affect your present and supporting healing

I believe every student deserves the chance to enjoy a fulfilling, balanced college experience. With compassion and expertise, I’m here to help you overcome obstacles, embrace your potential, and build a foundation for well-being that lasts long after graduation.
