Therapists for college students near New York, NY

As a therapist, I support adults in their quests to overcome a number of concerns including: anxiety, depression, identity, grief, and life transitions. To do so, I offer a safe space for those feeling overwhelmed or unsure of their next steps. Together, we will explore emotional patterns, build coping tools, and strengthen self-awareness. Our goal is for you to move forward with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of confidence while creating meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, warm, and empowering, as I am passionate about helping you gain insight and foster growth and well-being in your everyday life. I look forward to supporting you as you develop the practical tools necessary to navigate life’s challenges and find greater balance. I approach each client with empathy and understanding, creating a safe space for us to explore your feelings and face your challenges. Our time together is tailored to fulfilling your goals. To achieve this level of success, I use evidence-based practices. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches to help you build resilience, self-awareness, and coping skills. My path to becoming a therapist began in my role as an early education teacher. I realized my passion extended beyond academics to supporting students’ emotional and behavioral needs, and deepened my understanding of how early experiences can play a pivotal role in life. Now, I bring compassionate behavioral health care to diverse age groups to ensure personalized high-quality care. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, working out, reading, and spending quality time with my dog. I find these activities help me stay grounded, energized, and present, and I love bringing this sense of balance and well-being into my work with clients.

Hey there — I’m really glad you’re here. College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming, uncertain, or emotionally confusing.

If you’re looking for a space to slow down, unpack what you’re feeling, and build self-trust — I’d be honored to walk with you through that.
