University Students

I have been providing psychotherapeutic services, including individual, group, outreach, and crisis intervention to university students since 2008. I understand and appreciate the needs of college students who are experiencing a time of major transitions, increased responsibilities, challenging relationships, and confusion regarding their identity. These experiences, which occur at a critical juncture in students' lives, strengthen my appreciation for working with this population. I am extremely familiar and comfortable with presenting concerns that are frequently associated with this dynamic developmental stage.

Common reasons university students seek counseling include (but are not limited to): 

  • Anxiety

  • Depression and irritability 

  • Relationship issues (including roommate issues, romantic relationships, loneliness, etc.)

  • Identity concerns (including cultural identity, sexual identity, gender identity, religious identity, etc.)

  • Academic concerns

  • Eating disorders

  • Family conflict

  • Questions about careers

  • Concerns about graduation

  • Thoughts of suicide

  • Alcohol and drug use/abuse

  • Procrastination and difficulty focusing
