College is a massive transition time. Between meeting new people, living in tight quarters, academic pressure, or competing at a high level athletically, sometimes we need more support to perform at our top capability. Stressors like these can bring out unhealthy coping strategies. Anxiety, disordered eating/eating disorders, obsessive thoughts or behaviors, as well as perfectionism, can quickly get out of control.
With training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy, I can offer a tailored and non-judgmental approach to your needs. Using the therapeutic relationship, I can help anchor you through your changing experiences and symptoms as you navigate college.
