Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

College is a time of constant change and adjustment. I work to support college students by providing a safe space to talk and validating their experience as they enter into a new season of life. I completed my internship at a University Counseling Center and developed a passion for supporting students in the midst of academic challenges, relationship difficulties, life adjustments, and identity development.  If you are a college student needing support, send me a message or give me a call and we can talk about how to help make this season of life feel a little more manageable.

Grace is passionate about supporting young adults that are experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Grace deeply understands the challenges that young adults face today, with navigating peer relationships, being told consistently who and what to be by the world around them, and feeling disconnected from their own identities. In her sessions, Grace provides warmth, understanding, humor, and guidance while helping young adults get in touch with their true selves, explore areas in their lives that would benefit from positive change, and identify the best next steps in their recovery. Depending on her clients’ needs, Grace will pull techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. In her spare time, Grace enjoys spending time outdoors, cooking, traveling, exploring new restaurants and cafes, and reading. She also enjoys playing with her two kittens, Chickpea and Olive.

I work primarily with young adults and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, and trauma, as well as issues relating to identity and self-esteem. I like to use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s individual needs, but tend to draw most from cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, while always using a strengths-based approach. I will work hard to make sure you wholeheartedly believe that your mental health diagnosis does not have to define who you are! While I can’t promise that therapy will always be fun and something you look forward to week after week, I do believe therapy has the potential to be transformative for you if you allow it to be. My number one goal is to provide you with a safe space for you to be authentically and unapologetically you, without any filters or judgment. I will always be there to trust you, support you, and gently nudge you (when you need it, and trust me, we all need a little nudge once in a while).
