College is a season of growth — but it can also feel overwhelming, uncertain, and lonely at times. If you’re feeling stressed, stuck, or unsure of who you’re becoming, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, sort through what’s weighing on you, and build a clearer, steadier sense of yourself.

I work with college students and young adults who want more than just coping — they want to understand themselves, feel more grounded, and move through life with greater confidence and purpose. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative. You won’t be judged or analyzed from a distance. Instead, we’ll talk honestly about what’s happening in your life and find tools that actually help.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in the professional world. That experience helps me understand the pressures many students feel about performance, career direction, and “what’s next.” I bring that real-world perspective into our work, helping you connect what you’re learning now with the life you’re building beyond college.

Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything figured out — just a willingness to show up. If you’re looking for a steady, supportive space to think clearly, grow, and move forward, I’d be glad to walk alongside you.
