My Approach to Therapy for College Students
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Together, we’ll look at what’s underneath the stress you’re experiencing and explore tools to manage it in a healthier way. I use a mix of approaches, including:
Psychodynamic therapy to understand patterns in relationships and emotions
CBT, ACT, and DBT skills for managing anxiety, perfectionism, and stress
Relational therapy to help you feel understood and less alone in your struggles
The goal is not just to “fix” a problem, but to help you feel more confident in yourself and capable of handling what college (and life) throws your way.

College is supposed to be “the best years of your life,” right? But the reality is sometimes more complicated. Between classes, internships, friend groups, and figuring out your future, it can feel like you’re constantly juggling and falling short of expectations. Maybe you’re lying awake at night overthinking a text, panicking before an exam or internship interview, or putting pressure on yourself to look like you have it all together.
I get it because I’ve been there, and I know how heavy that pressure can feel. In our work together, you’ll have a space to slow down, make sense of what’s underneath the stress, and learn how to navigate all the expectations without burning yourself out. Whether you’re trying to find your place socially, dealing with family pressures, or questioning what’s next, therapy can help you feel more grounded, confident, and able to handle what comes your way.
