Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I help clients who are trying to manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship issues and life transitions. Often clients are navigating a change in their lives, such as their educational path, career, or relationships. I support clients through these transitions and provide a safe, therapeutic environment where they can explore their individuality and strengths. Clients are also supported through the process of examining maladaptive patterns of thought and/or behavior with the use of Psychodynamic, Relational and CBT frameworks. These approaches, combined with a strong therapeutic relationship, help to foster an increased awareness and greater sense of empowerment, which can increase overall quality of life.

Welcome, I'm glad you found me! I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York that provides individual therapy sessions and assessments for ADHD and OCD. I offer a strengths-based approach to therapy that is tailored to each individual's needs. I work with adults navigating challenges with executive function, emotional regulation, unhelpful behavior patterns, trauma, confidence, and communication and am experienced working with LGBTQIA+ clients and expansive relationship structures. I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients and maintain a waitlist.

If you’re a woman or queer person who seems put-together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who you’re becoming on the inside, you’re not alone. Many of my clients describe shutting down in social settings, feeling pressure to perform, comparing themselves constantly, or wondering why things that once felt easy now feel impossibly heavy. They’re exhausted from pretending they’re fine, disconnected from their own needs, and scared by how quickly their emotions or motivation can swing. I help clients make sense of these intense inner shifts through a somatic, trauma-informed, and spiritually grounded approach. Together, we slow down enough to track what your body and emotions are trying to say, stress patterns, numbness, overthinking, people-pleasing, or the impulse to disappear. Instead of forcing insight or navigating it alone, you get a space to explore identity, relationships, boundaries, burnout, and the pressure to figure everything out. This work helps soften shame, reduce spirals, and reconnect you to what’s real and steady within you. Clients often describe feeling calmer, clearer, and more able to show up for their lives with presence and self-trust. They communicate more honestly, rest without guilt, reconnect with people they care about, and feel less ruled by anxiety or self-attack. If you’re ready to understand what’s shifting inside you, and want support that meets you with depth, compassion, and grounded tools, I’d be honored to walk with you.

You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. Maybe you grew up keeping the peace, managing everyone else's emotions, or shrinking yourself to avoid conflict and now those same patterns are running your life. You overthink, people-please, and constantly second-guess yourself. You're self-aware enough to know something isn't working, but awareness alone hasn't changed it. These patterns have roots. Family wounds, early trauma, painful relationships that taught you it wasn't safe to just be yourself. If you're a young adult finally ready to discover who you actually are and you're in the right place. Using EMDR and a person-centered, strengths-based approach, I help you understand why you overthink, shut down, or people-please — and how your past is driving those patterns. Together we work to reduce anxiety, build self-trust, and help you finally feel comfortable in your own skin and clear in who you are. You've probably been trying to figure this out on your own for a long time. These patterns have deeper roots, and they don't have to keep running the show. If you're ready to stop going through the motions and start building a life that actually feels like yours, I'd love to hear from you.
