College can be an exciting and confusing time of life. On one hand, the world feels like it is full of possibilities — what career might you have? what kind of partner will you end up with? who will you BE? In other ways, this time of life can feel overwhelming, like you’re supposed to know how to do a bunch of things that you just haven’t figured out yet.
I love working with college students in therapy because your years in university are full of burgeoning growth. You’re unpacking your identity outside of your family system, exploring your life in new & foreign ways, all while learning to stand on your own two feet.
I became a therapist because I needed support throughout this time in my own life. I struggled mightily in high school & college, feeling like I didn’t really understand myself or the world around me. I didn’t feel like I could turn to my friends or family, and therapy became one of my only safe spaces to parse through what I was experiencing.
Now, I’ve been lucky to support college students in a number of ways. First, I was a private tutor while I was in grad school, serving undergraduate students. Then, I became an adjunct professor at Chapman University teaching a course on self & identity. Then, I began my clinical work as a therapist and have been able to work with college students in a variety of ways (individual, family, and group therapy) from my private practice in Irvine.
I’m currently running an interpersonal process group for young women and I also see individual clients online & from my office in Irvine.
If you are looking for a therapist who can support you with the challenges you’re currently facing in your life, please reach out to see if I might be the right fit. I’d be happy to speak with you for a consultation.
