Therapists for college students near Temple University

Guessing your way through life is stressful. I work with college students who are realizing that there's a lot of things that they weren't taught in school and are ready to take control of their future. Now that you have more freedom and choice, you also have to figure out what to do with it. Who are you? Who do you want to be? What do you want to do with your life? How do you get there? If you're starting out college, you might be trying to get yourself into a routine, make new friends, navigate the campus dating scene, decide on a major, or handle the stress of midterms/finals. Maybe you're past that part of your college experience, but you still haven't found a good solution to those problems: still putting off studying, dealing with friend drama, having ups and downs with dating, etc. And if you're getting towards the end of your college experience, you might be worried out about what you're going to do after college and what that will look like. You don't need to figure all that out on your own. I help people get to the root of their problems so that they can understand themselves and others better. If you can understand your past and unlearn things that aren't helping you anymore, then you can replace them with healthy ways to move forward with confidence.

If you’re feeling weighed down by shame, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection, you’re not alone. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling stuck or overwhelmed on the inside. Therapy can be a supportive place to slow down and begin making sense of what you’re carrying. I specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of trauma, substance use, anxiety, and/or depression. I take a relational approach, meeting you with empathy and authenticity. Our work will honor you as a whole and unique being, integrating approaches such as mindfulness, parts work, and EMDR. In our sessions, there is space for tears, laughter, anger, relief, and growth—you can come as you are. I’m committed to working collaboratively with you and moving at a pace that feels safe. If this resonates, reach out to set up a brief consultation. I would be honored to connect with you.
