COUNSELING FOR GEN Z & COLLEGE STUDENTS

Therapy for College Students in Michigan
Are you a college student feeling overwhelmed, alone, or constantly putting others people's needs before your own? Do you struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, or an eating disorder? Maybe you worry your problems aren’t “big enough” for therapy, even though you’re struggling with juggling school, work, and life’s demands. If deep down you’re struggling, now is the time to connect with a therapist who truly understands.
Let’s work together to build your confidence, help you stop criticizing yourself, and start embracing your worthiness. Let's help you find new tools to cope with the stress in your life, and ease your anxiety. Therapy can help you break free from the cycle of self-doubt and begin prioritizing your mental health and well-being.

Why Therapy is Important for College Students and Young Adults
As someone with extensive experience working in higher education, I understand the unique challenges college students face. From balancing academics, social life, and personal responsibilities to handling anxiety and pressures of student life, I’ve seen it all. My clients appreciate that I “get it”—I understand their stress, their pressures, their desire to succeed, and the hidden battles that often go unnoticed by others.
By focusing on things like your anxiety, your relationship struggles, or negative relationship with your body, we can transform these struggles into confidence, healthy boundaries, and self-compassion. Therapy provides a safe space to explore these challenges and discover the strengths you may not realize you have.
Virtual Therapy in Michigan for Busy College Students
I offer virtual therapy throughout Michigan, which means that no matter where you are in the state, you can access therapy on your terms. Virtual sessions fit seamlessly into your busy schedule, whether between classes or after a long day of studying. This flexibility ensures that you get the support you need without disrupting your daily life.
Prioritize Your Mental Health
You’ve taken great care of others; now it’s time to care for yourself. Therapy isn’t just about addressing problems—it's also about fostering growth, building resilience, and nurturing self-compassion. Investing in your mental health can be the most rewarding decision you’ll ever make.

Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or searching for a better fit, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Virtual therapy is available across Michigan, offering you uninterrupted support, even during college breaks or after graduation.

What to Expect in Our Sessions
In therapy, you’ll experience a mix of deep, meaningful conversations, along with moments of celebration and joy. We’ll tackle the serious stuff, but we’ll also celebrate your wins (even the "small" ones) and make space for self-discovery. I'll gently deliver feedback and highlight patterns that will feel helpful for you to realize. My approach is client-centered, meaning we’ll tailor our work together to your unique needs and goals. I incorporate evidence-based therapeutic tools from a variety of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and attachment theory to help you on your journey.
