College can be exciting, but let’s be real—it can also be a lot. Between academic pressures, social expectations, and figuring out who you are, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or stuck. I provide a supportive, insight-driven space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences on a deeper level. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, I can help you untangle the patterns holding you back and develop a stronger sense of self.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. Therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and free to show up as your authentic self. I specialize in working with college students and young adults navigating self-doubt, stress, identity exploration, and the pressure to have everything “figured out.” If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, like you’re constantly chasing perfection, or like your emotions are all over the place—I see you, and I’m here to help.

For those in relationships, I also work with couples looking to improve communication, break unhealthy patterns, and build a more fulfilling connection. Whether you’re dealing with conflict, struggling with intimacy, or navigating big changes, I help partners gain clarity and strengthen their bond.

I believe therapy isn’t about having all the answers. I believe it’s about giving yourself the space to grow, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels right for you. If you're ready to start that journey, I’d love to support you.

I am under supervision with Tracey Post, LCSW
