Bill Munze / Aspire Counseling

College is a time of transition where we learn not only about academics, but about who we are and how to navigate the myriad challenges of life. It is both exciting and stressful, fun and scary. And when we struggle with added anxiety, depression, traumas, relationship difficulties, and more it can make the whole experience feel overwhelming.

I specialize in helping college students to cope with these challenges so they can thrive in school, work, and everyday life.

You may be finding it hard to keep up with classes, feeling disconnected from friends, or questioning whether you are on the right path. We can look together at what is making things difficult and how different parts of your life affect one another. There is room to talk about family expectations, relationships, identity, and the pressure to figure out what comes next.

Our work can address what you are facing this week while also helping you understand patterns that keep getting in your way. We might explore why a disappointing grade leaves you questioning your abilities, how pressure to fit in affects your friendships and choices, or what makes choosing a major or career feel so overwhelming. There is also room for the broader question of “Who am I?”—what matters to you, where you feel you belong, and how to find your own direction amid expectations from family, friends, and yourself.

My practice is now fully telehealth, giving clients maximum flexibility for scheduling and convenience.
