Many of the people I work with have complicated histories and families.

I received my MSW at Columbia University and a Post Masters Certificate in ...

I help students learn to r...

You are the person that people often describe as intelligent, resourceful, humorous, well-liked, talented; an individual that accomplishes whatever they set out to do. You strive to excel at whatever you take on & some may even call you a perfectionist. You can't seem to understand why, or how, you continue to feel stuck, overwhelmed, tense, or perhaps, even sad or hopeless. The facts suggest you possess many of the positive qualities others seem to admire, and from afar, you appear to be someon...

I like to view myself as a modern and relatable therapist. I love working with college students because young adulthood is the time in our life with the most changes in comparison to our entire lifespan. It is when we are trying to establish ourselves as individuals, separate from our families and perhaps even the town we grew up in. We are faced with endless opportunities and the freedom may feel scary. Some young adults have feelings of anxiety and depression due to the level of independence a...
