Therapists for college students near New York University

Does everything look "just fine", and no one gets how anxious, frustrated and checked out you feel in your studies, work or relationships? You’ve tried everything you can to fix things. Trauma, depression, pain, family and social pressure, anxiety, relationship issues; all these things can get you stuck in a cycle of unhappiness. These experiences may even have you seeking relief through overusing substances. You want someone to actually help you. You know that despite it being hard, you're willing to give this a try. I am dedicated to helping you improve your life, not just cope with it. You can feel connected, whole, energized and fulfilled, and I am here to help you. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, as well as Somatic coaching services. I opened my private practice after working for 5 years with college students at Syracuse University's Counseling Center. Over my 10 years of counseling experience, I have helped people go from fixity to flow, from stuckness to strength. I specialize in Somatic Experiencing, relational psychodynamic therapy and attachment work. My approach helps you use your nervous system's natural resources and strengths, building you up to address the root of issues getting in the way of your peace, fulfillment and satisfaction. I bring all my life's experience as a counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, martial artist and coach to my clients. I want to provide you with a helping relationship where you can be deeply heard, seen, and feel safe to explore yourself; to help you open up possibilities in your life that felt unreachable before. I welcome you to reach out.

College can be exciting — and overwhelming. If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or just not like yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

I offer a collaborative, accepting, and reflective space where you can better understand yourself and what’s getting in the way of the life you want. I help people explore emotional and relational patterns with curiosity and self-compassion. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression, or challenges in their relationships. For some, these experiences have been present for a long time; for others, they feel new. I’m proud of the supportive environment I create, and I see it as the foundation of meaningful therapy. Our work is most effective when you feel safe enough to talk about what’s hard to say elsewhere and my primary goal is to help make that possible. My approach is grounded in the belief that real change comes through insight, self-awareness, and genuine human connection.

I am a clinical psychologist who provides evidence-based, solution-focused treatment in a warm, supportive environment. In my experience most people appreciate a compassionate yet direct approach from their therapist. I work with you to identify and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors while providing ongoing clear feedback and guidance in a supportive and nonjudgmental manner. As a cognitive-behavioral psychologist, I use research-based treatment techniques while tailoring therapy to your unique needs and circumstances. People tell me they feel comfortable and at ease with me and quickly learn that I work hard to help them reach their goals. I look forward to working with you to create a more content, rewarding, and satisfying life for yourself.

I’m trained in perinatal mental health and can support pregnant people before during and after pregnancy. I also offer grief counseling whether that be death, miscarriages, divorces, identity changes, estrangement etc. While I wouldn’t say I specialize in these areas I want you to know I’m open and accepting of all persons from the queer community and LGBTQIA affirming, and am an ally to the BIPOC community.

Life can feel overwhelming. You might be carrying past trauma, facing anxiety that won’t ease, or navigating a lingering sadness. Maybe you’re exploring how your identity has been shaped by culture, history, or generational pain—and you’re ready to reclaim your voice. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know: reaching out is a powerful first step. As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I create a trauma-informed space where you feel seen and supported. Together, we’ll face the hard stuff while making room for healing, hope, and growth. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, identity, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in decolonizing therapy—honoring how colonization, systemic oppression, and cultural narratives impact mental health. We’ll gently examine and unlearn internalized beliefs, reconnect with your resilience, and center your wisdom. This work isn’t just about surviving—it’s about liberation. I believe in the power of healing, especially in the face of profound pain. Therapy for me is about coming home to yourself—finding strength, wholeness, and meaning. If you're seeking someone who deeply listens, understands your complexity, and honors your story, I’d be honored to share this space.
