College can bring a lot of change at once. You may be adjusting to being away from home, trying to keep up academically, questioning what you want for your future, navigating friendships or relationships, or figuring out who you are outside of other people’s expectations. Even when things look fine from the outside, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself.

I work with college students and emerging adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, stress and burnout, self-esteem, identity exploration, relationship concerns, grief, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ students and creating space to explore gender, sexuality, culture, values, and identity without pressure to have everything figured out.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-led. You get to decide what feels important to talk about and how quickly we go. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and relational approaches to help you better understand your emotions and patterns, identify what genuinely matters to you, and make choices that feel more aligned with the person you want to be.

Therapy with me isn’t about having all the right answers. We’ll get curious together. I’ll listen, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge you when it may help you see something differently. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as yourself, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and build greater confidence in navigating what comes next.
