Therapists for college students near University of Richmond
If you've been feeling emotionally overwhelmed and it's affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, today is a good day to prioritize your well-being! I offer telehealth sessions throughout Massachusetts and Virginia, and in person walk-and-talk sessions in Charlottesville, VA. I specialize in helping young adults manage stress, anxiety, feelings of isolation, depression, or of not feeling good enough that can accompany being a college student in an academically rigorous environment. If your previous ways of dealing with challenges are not working, you find yourself drinking more than you used to, not sleeping well, or not feeling able to connect with your friends and family, this is a good time to get additional support. I take an active role in helping you sort out the best way to approach your challenges and teach you the foundations of mental health so you get back on track. Together we will explore the connection between how you live and how you feel, and identify the areas that feel out of balance. I take a comprehensive holistic approach to wellness because, for the people I work with, traditional talk therapy is often not enough. Our mental health is impacted by our environment, sleep, physical activity, what we eat, relationships, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors–and I believe our mental health care should include these elements as components of the whole system. Evidence-based tools we may incorporate include meditation and somatic mind-body practices, techniques to work with thought patterns, interpersonal skills, and lifestyle interventions.

As a therapist, I my role in working with clients is to support them in gaining the confidence to find their voice and to move from this space with purpose and compassion. I am a space holder, compassionate witness, boundary-lover and hopeful human. I love emerging adults and believe they are insightful change-makers who are creative, intuitive, and independent. However, they can also feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, anxious, and alone when trying to understand themselves and how they fit into this world. The adolescent mental health crisis is real and we must act quickly and with care. As an teen therapist, I my role in working with teens is to support them in gaining the confidence to find their voice and to move from this space with purpose and compassion. I am a space holder, compassionate witness, boundary-lover and hopeful human. I love teenagers and believe they are insightful change-makers who are creative, intuitive, and independent. However, they can also feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, anxious, and alone when trying to understand themselves and how they fit into this world. I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable taking your shoes and your (metaphorical) mask off. My job isn’t to make you talk about all the hard stuff; it’s to provide a space for you to learn about yourself - so the good parts can shine through and the parts that are telling you that you’re not good enough can give you a little more space. Being a human is HARD and being a college student can feel even harder. I view my role as a therapist as an immense privilege and am inspired every day by the people who I have the opportunity to get to work with. I encourage you to visit my website to learn more about me, my approach and to schedule a FREE consultation call.

You didn’t know what it would be like, but you didn’t think it would be like this. Unsure of how life will unfold and wondering if you will be able to find some semblance of stability (or if you will sputter, perpetually stuck and unable to realize the life you envisioned growing up), you look around to external guideposts. Trying to understand how to thrive in this world while simply just existing while also not failing, you look to these external markers to validate where you are and still feel empty and directionless. It’s not easy being human. Yes, we have all the trappings to make human-ing easier, and yet challenges persist. Perhaps it shows up in mindlessly scrolling, searching for others to connect with or more items to buy to fill the emptiness that continues to nag, always thirsty. Maybe in numbing through substances or distractions, deliberately focused on not focusing on the world in front of you. It can feel insurmountable, the question of how to move forward and even where to begin. Our work will disentangle what it is you want, who you want to be, and what it is you value. We will explore, investigate and identify the thoughts, emotions and themes that run through your story, seeking to shed light on where the stuck points exist and work to remove the blockages. I will support you and lead with curiosity, compassion and authenticity as you bring awareness to what composes your personal legend.
