Between managing academics, social life, and personal growth, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why taking care of your mental health is just as important as working toward your goals. I specialize in helping college students like you find balance, overcome obstacles, and build healthier coping mechanisms. Whether you're dealing with academic stress, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support you.

If you’ve ever thought about how your mental health impacts your success in school, relationships, and future goals, now might be the right time to explore what mental health care can offer. Let’s work together to create a solid foundation for your well-being, so you can feel empowered to face any challenges that come your way."

Here is what some college students are saying in therapy:

“My ability to work on my goals and stay focused is a struggle sometimes. I want to make sure I don’t slack off, especially when I get too comfortable.”
On financial and academic goals:

“I’m really hoping to work on my financial literacy and get my academics in order. It feels like everything piles up when I don’t pay attention, and then I’m just trying to catch up.”
On seeking help:

“I should have started seeking treatment a long time ago. Lately, my mental health and personal traumas have been affecting my relationships, academic life, and overall well-being.”

On understanding behaviors:

“I want to get a deeper understanding of why I behave the way I do sometimes. It’s confusing, and I hope to find healthier ways to cope when things get really tough.”
On trauma and well-being:

“It feels like my personal traumas are starting to impact everything, and I want to break that cycle. I want to be happier and more in control of how I respond to challenges.”
