Student Mental Health
College and graduate school can be an exciting time of growth and discovery — but it can also be overwhelming. Whether you’re interested in therapy or a psychological assessment, I support students through every season.
How can I help?
I deeply understand the culture and unique pressures of student life, and I’m passionate about helping students feel grounded, supported, and empowered. Together, we can manage your stress while moving you closer to your dreams.
Common Reasons for Therapy & Assessment
As a former therapist at CU Boulder’s Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) and the University of Illinois’ Counseling Center, I bring several years of experience working in college counseling centers, helping students with:
Formal diagnostics for academic accommodations
Academic stress and burnout
Anxiety and depression
Perfectionism and self-criticism
Identity exploration and life transitions
Relationship and family issues
Loneliness and difficulty adjusting to a new environment
Imposter syndrome and performance anxiety
Managing ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergence
