Therapy for College Students

College is supposed to be the time of your life. It is also a time when most of the things in your life are being decided at once.

What you're studying, where you're going to live, who you are, who you want to be with, and what kind of person you will become. That's a lot. It's developmentally normal and genuinely heavy at the same time.

I work with college students (18–25) whether they are at the University of Cincinnati, Xavier, Miami University, Mount St. Joseph, Northern Kentucky University, and elsewhere in the Greater Cincinnati area, as well as virtually for students at schools further afield in Ohio and many other states.

• Dealing with new found freedoms and navigating an entirely different environment
• Anxiety, panic, and the constant-deadline kind of stress that doesn't let up
• Depression, low motivation, and the strange flatness that can hit even when things "should" be fine
• Identity work — sexuality, gender, race, culture, neurodivergence, and the broader question of who you're becoming
• Relationships — friendships, dating, family of origin, roommates, and the patterns you keep noticing
• Major decisions — choosing a major, picking a career path, taking time off, transferring, going to grad school
• Trauma — recent or older, including the kinds of harm that don't fit a checklist
• Substance use, sleep, and the toll of doing too much on too little

I treat college students like the adults they are. You're an expert on your own life; my job is to bring clinical depth and a steady second perspective alongside you. We won't waste your time with generic worksheets or surface-level coping tips you've already read.

I take the phase of life specifics seriously — the choices, the volume, the feeling that everything counts. That's not a failure of perspective; it's an accurate read of what's actually happening. We work from there.
