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 students within numerous college counseling centers allows me a unique perspective and understanding of the issues they are facing, both inside of themselves and in their environment. 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.
