Therapy for College Students and Young Adults
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of yourself? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own either.
​
I help college students and young adults navigate the unique challenges that come with this exciting (and often stressful) stage of life. Whether you’re transitioning to campus life, facing academic pressure, or dealing with anxiety, therapy can offer the support and tools you need to feel more confident.
​
If you’re a parent reading this, hoping to find someone your college student can connect with—you’re in the right place.
Things That Might Be Getting In The Way
-
Anxiety and overthinking
-
Depression
-
Panic attacks
-
Body image concerns
-
Low self-esteem
-
Procrastination
-
Test anxiety
-
Trouble managing your time or staying organized
-
Conflict with friends or roommates
-
Feeling homesick

Uncertainty about major or career path
-
Imposture syndrome (“Do I even belong here?”)
-
Struggles with romantic partners and sexuality concerns

ADHD/ADD
Often times I talk to client’s who are struggling with one—or several—of these challenges. These things can show up in everyday life too—like trouble sleeping, crying out of nowhere, struggling to focus, or feeling unmotivated. If any of this sounds familiar, please know: you are not alone, and you can learn to overcome it.
It's Not Always Easy - And That's Okay
College and young adulthood are full of contradictions. You might be told these are “the best years of your life”—and sometimes they really are. There are moments of freedom, friendship, and endless fun. But there are also late-night spirals, imposter syndrome, and days where just making it to class feels like a win.
​
I've walked that road myself - and supported countless students through it, too. With 6 years of college under my belt and 4 years as a college counselor, I truly get it. I've experienced how overwhelming this stage of life can feel. I firmly believe that with the right support and practical tools, you can learn to navigate what you’re going through. Therapy can help you build confidence and grow into the version of yourself that you want to be.
​
You don’t have to have everything figured out. (Honestly, no one does.) You just have to be willing to start.
"It's never too late to be what you might have been."

Campus Resources You Might Be Over Looking
College campuses are FULL of helpful resources—many of which students know little or nothing about. The best part? You’ve likely already paid for majority of them through your tuition and fees.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling academically or just trying to find a little support, there is probably something on campus that can help.

I know that when you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, even reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. It might be hard to get to class, let alone talk to someone new. Maybe, you’re a parent of a college student and you have no idea how to navigate all of this either.
