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.

Between academics, friendships, career decisions, and personal growth, it’s normal to feel stressed or unsure during the college years. Many college students struggle with academic anxiety or social anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt during these years, and having the right support can make all the difference.
At my practice, I specialize in working with college students who want a safe space to process challenges, build confidence, and navigate this important stage of life. Whether you’re living on campus, adjusting to a new city, or balancing family expectations, therapy can help you feel more grounded and capable.
