Therapists for college students near New York University

I am a transmasculine, neurodivergent clinical psychologist licensed in the state of New York. I completed my predoctoral internship at the Buffalo Psychiatric Center and my postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University, and currently work at Cornell as a therapist and the LGBTQ community liaison. I specialize in providing gender affirming care as well as working with the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. Additionally, I have training in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International and am a Certified Therapeutic Game Master through Geek Therapeutics. I offer experience in multiple modalities, giving me the ability to support each client's unique needs.

Many people enter therapy concerned that they will have to make dramatic changes in their lives to find relief. I believe that therapy is not dramatically changing who we are, but rather looking at how our perceptions of ourselves and others create unfulfilling experiences. I think my role as a therapist is to work with each individual to identify their strengths and enhance what is already working for them while examining the patterns that keep them from living life to its fullest. In my experience as a therapist I have helped many children, adolescents and adults overcome sever anxiety and depression and long-standing relationship issues. I also have expertise with families struggling with ongoing divorce and custody issues. I draw from several modalities of therapy, fitting the intervention with the needs of the individual.

Through a holistic approach, we help you develop practical skills to manage anxiety, including identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, developing relaxation techniques, and exploring healthy coping mechanisms. We also focus on enhancing self-awareness, self-compassion, and building resilience to navigate life adjustments effectively. Our therapists recognize the importance of considering the broader context of your life. We take into account various factors such as relationships, academics, career aspirations, and lifestyle choices, to provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

I am all too familiar with how so many struggles boil down to the same deep needs: to be seen, supported, understood, or safe. I help people reclaim their energy from the runaway train of their thoughts and the demands of those they care about so they can live with more focus, calm, and control. That means learning to let go of "doing it right" in favor of doing what actually works for you. By separating your sense of worth from how much you give to others, you end your people-pleasing behaviors and work on setting healthy boundaries that protect your energy without the crushing weight of guilt that usually follows. I believe there’s no one right path or set agenda we’re supposed to follow. Sometimes, the best steps we take are the ones that don’t make sense to anyone else, but that feel undeniably true to us. That’s what I help my clients find: a way forward that’s grounded, self-directed, and shaped by who they are, not who they were told to be.

Are you ready to work with a therapist who truly sees you? At With Heart With Soul Therapy, we believe that healing is not about ”fixing,” it’s about reclaiming who you are, improving internal and external relationships, and embracing authenticity. We understand how past wounds, or the weight of expectations, can make it hard to hear or trust your own voice. Here, there is opportunity to slow down, breathe, and reconnect; using a mind, body, soul approach, we integrate traditional evidence-based therapy and holistic healing to support those navigating deep emotions and life’s complexities, or moving from surviving to thriving. This practice specializes in holding space for resilient souls, cycle breakers, and self-healers. Our team of clinicians are genuine, skilled, and heart-centered people who bring both expertise and compassion to the work we do. We create a therapeutic space where you can process your inner and outer worlds, develop coping strategies, and reclaim your power and voice.

Gen Z and Millennial women are often bombarded with difficult life transitions such as adulting, relationship distress, quarter-life crises, career pursuits, parenting, caregiving, and more. This can be a lot to manage! Societal pressures plus the changing roles of women in this age group require a focused, feminist, and knowledgable approach. It can be tricky searching for the right therapist, so I appreciate you being here in the first place. My approach is fine-tuned, using radical genuineness, to help you learn how to manage these unique stressors while maintaining authenticity and calm. I am practiced in several targeted therapies that meet the needs of women in transition including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). In my personal experience, I have come to view change as the only constant, which is why I find great value in being able to help my clients through significant life transitions. Looking back at the clients I've served over the years, I have been able to find something about every one of them that I admire. I love meeting my clients where they are and seeing how I can support their walk through life in a genuine, non-judgmental, and meaningful way. If this sounds like the right approach for you, feel free to reach out for a phone consult.

My practice is depth-oriented; we work collaboratively to get to the root of your problems so you can move forward both with my help and on your own.

What stories shape your sense of self and the world? Have you found yourself stuck or disempowered by the stories you tell about yourself or others? With my unique background in mental health counseling and doctorate in English Literature, I approach therapy as a collaborative, meaning-making process informed by story, culture, and connection. I aim to make your life more robust by empowering you to widen narrative possibilities. Given my continued connection to educational spaces, I am especially interested in the stories we tell ourselves about education, learning, and development (and the stresses that come with expectations around perfectionism). ​ My approach is shaped by a strong awareness of “systems,” including educational/academic systems, recognizing that personal suffering is inseparable from how we are shaped by cultural and historical contexts. Through attuned listening to your story across the systems you inhabit, I work to position you as the author of your own life. I undertake a collaborative, rather than authoritative role in my therapeutic work. ​ I am interested in an array of identities and “concerns” such as grief, depression, anxiety, “disordered” eating, existential dilemmas, LGBTQ-facing issues, illness, transitions, attachment, academic experiences, etc. Likewise, I employ a variety of approaches in my work—ACT, DBT, psychodynamic, narrative therapy, creative arts therapies, Gestalt, psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems. At the core, I utilize a reparative lens: rather than solely foregrounding wounds, I champion joy, resilience, and the potential for healing. I invite you to embark on this path forward with me as we build a therapeutic space for honoring the complexity of your story and work to cultivate wholeness.
