Working with College Students

The transition into college, is a time of excitement and joy for many students. For some, balancing academics and social life, as well as adjusting to new-found independence and life away from family can be challenging. Psychological difficulties can complicate things even further. My background of working with college students at numerous college counseling centers allows me a unique perspective and understanding of the issues they are facing, and the environment in which they are functioning. While my greatest expertise lies in treating anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders, I often work successfully with students facing ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, roommate & friendship challenges, struggles in romantic relationships, grief and loss, depression, and LGBTQ concerns.

I am experienced in collaborating with college counseling center staff and administrators when needed, such as when transitioning to an in-house therapist, joining a support group, or when a medical leave of absence for mental health reasons is required.
