Therapists for college students near Princeton University

You may feel "stuck" in these moments and at a loss for how to move forward. I work to provide a safe therapy space to explore feelings of sadness, worry, and uncertainty. Together, we can develop new coping strategies and create a plan for positive change that feels meaning...

People I work with come to me feeling stuck - second-guessing every decision, replaying conversations in their heads, or feeling like they’ve lost touch with the version of themselves they want to be.

My style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that connection is one of the most powerful tools for healing. I ...

Finding your way back to yourself – even when the pressure feels relentless. You’re capable, driven, accomplished. Yet something feels off – a persistent feeling of anxiety, a nagging feeling that you don’t belong, or a sense that no matter how much you achieve, relief does not come. You are not stuck, but your nervous system is. That’s why talking alone cannot get to it. I go beyond traditional talk through because anxiety can’t be reached by reframing - all of lives in the body. ...
