Therapists for college students near New York University

Feeling stuck or unfulfilled in different areas of your life? Would you like support that is professional and confidential? Unlike talking to friends and family, therapy offers a safe space where you can put words to things that are difficult to say, and confront things from your past that seem to interfere with your life in the present. Therapy can lead to deeper self-awareness and insight that can empower you to make the changes you need to live your best life. Everyone has the power to grow and heal with the right conditions and tools. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 yrs of experience. I've worked in various settings with people from diverse backgrounds, but college student mental health has been my passion. I've worked in the counseling centers at John Jay, UT Health Science Center, Princeton, and Cornell to name a few. I've also been a certified academic success coach.

To be seen and known by others is an incredible feeling of connection but it means being authentic and vulnerable. Sadly, we live in a time with the illusion of connection while being more disconnected than ever. You may feel disconnected from others and even from yourself. Though you are a gift to this world, it is often blocked and unexpressed. This may leave you feeling alone and invisible. The truth is, you may be starving for deeper connection and that starvation looks like depression, anxiety, stress, and more. When you are living disconnected, you are abandoning yourself. Thankfully, you have a beautiful inner voice. I help you redefine your view of barriers (I call it protection), frustration around recurring struggles, failures, shame+fears through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and courage. My working style is non-judgmental, and I endeavor to bring curiosity, humor, empathy, patience, and respect to our relationship. I warmly invite you to reach out by phone or email through my website and schedule a free initial consultation to explore how we might work together to help you live a life of purpose and connection with self and others

Clients tend to approach me with conundrums that need to be fully understood: “I know what I’m feeling but I don’t know why”; “I keep finding myself in hurtful relationships and I want something different next time around”; “I’m tired of how I’m living and I’m afraid to change”; “I want to feel less lonely”; “I don’t like myself”; “The people I am closest to don’t really know me.” They want to live brightly and with much aliveness, and value being supported, known, and attuned to as they work on changing shape. I work with clients on a range of concerns including, but not limited to, relationships difficulties, depression, anxiety, panic, aftermath of abuse or neglect in family of origin, and transitions/loss across lifespan.

To that end, I employ a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach. My style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and I provide ongoing feedback.
