Therapists for college students near University of Minnesota

I specialize in working with college and graduate students who feel overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, or emotionally stuck. I support students dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep issues, ADHD, and major life transitions. As both a mental health provider and a university professor, I understand academic pressure and student life firsthand. My approach is supportive, down-to-earth, and focused on helping you feel more grounded and confident.

I specialize in ADHD and Autism, as well as enjoy helping people navigate issues related to anxiety and depression. I believe that Resilience is a skill we can learn, and it is what is going to help us make it through whatever challenges life may throw our way. In my previous career I was a medic in the US Army, so if your experiences involve the military, emergency medicine, or moving around a lot, I get it. I have 7 kids and went to college at 40, so if you are a non traditional student, I get it. Lets talk about it!

I will give you a safe place to be vulnerable and learn to trust.
