College Life—Balancing classes, relationships, family expectations, and your mental health can feel like too much. Have you ever felt like everyone else has it figured out while you’re just trying to keep it together?

You’re not alone. College is an exciting chapter, but it can also bring stress, anxiety, loneliness, and pressure to succeed. Sometimes you need a space that’s just for you—where you can process everything without judgment.

✅ How I Help
I help college students:
✔ Manage anxiety and overwhelming stress
✔ Cope with relationship issues or breakups
✔ Navigate homesickness and adjusting to campus life
✔ Set boundaries and prioritize self-care
✔ Build confidence and self-identity

My approach is supportive, down-to-earth, and solution-focused. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’re coming back, I’ll meet you where you are and help you create practical strategies for relief and growth.
