Some days you’re holding it together. Other days it feels like everything’s slipping through the cracks. If anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles are making it hard to focus, connect, or feel like yourself, you’re not alone. Therapy is a place to talk things through without pressure or judgment—to get curious about what’s going on beneath the surface and start feeling more grounded, clear, and in control again. I believe that warmth, creativity and a sense of humor are cornerstones of...

My eclectic approach to treat...

Many of the students I work with are thoughtful, creative, and driven—but they also feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Some are dealing with high expectations, self-doubt, or pressure to be perfect. Others feel disconnected from their families or unsure about their identity. I work especially well with students who tend to think and feel deeply, including those who have a strong inner life, creative interests, or complicated relationships with ambition or independence. I often work with wom...

College can be one of the most exciting times in your life—but it can also bring a lot of pressure. Between classes, deadlines, part-time jobs, and planning for the future, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

I’m a provider with extensive experience treating adults across a wide range of mental health condit...
I help college students, graduate students, and university faculty manage stress, cope with painful emotions, and navigate school, work, and relationships.

I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore ...

I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one co...
We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move t...
Psychotherapy can be a transformative experience that helps you explore your inner world. My approach allows us to explore the parts of yourself that remain hidden, difficult to understand, slow to change, and, frankly, stuck. In an affirming and non-judgmental environment, I will guide you through a deep introspection of your thoughts and emotions to enhance your awareness and insight into yourself, your patterns, tendencies, strengths, stuck points, and areas for growth. My approach integra...

I spent more than two years working at Cornell's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provided me with deep knowledge of the ins and outs of their mental health system, along with the pressures that one can face at college in regard to competition, academic stress, and building social connection. Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adj...
