College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Balancing classes, relationships, and responsibilities isn’t always easy, and sometimes, you just need a space to talk things through. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences that still weigh on you, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you're going through and learn ways to manage it. Your mental health matters just as much as your grades, and taking care of yourself now can make all the difference.
I accept most commercial insurance and a have a sliding fee scale. You deserve support. Let’s talk.
