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...
I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress. 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...

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, ...
