Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I specialize in LGBTQIA+ adults and adolescents with attention to all intersecting identities and lived experience connected to race, ethnicity, religious background, immigration status, ability, socioeconomic status, and trauma history. Particularly in these upending times, I seek to provide a reliable healing space by helping clients find genuine, compassionate connection with oneself and others. Some of the ways I work with clients is to become aware of connections between current challenges and past experience, explore identities freely with attention to each person's unique circumstances, identify needs around interpersonal connection and boundaries, understand the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma, and foster hope for the future. I take my work very seriously, but also naturally use humor as a way to explore and connect. Therapy needs to be a safe space to be messy and broken, but can also be used for playful curiosity and creativity.

Hello and thank you for considering me to help you with what you are experiencing! I have been in this field since 2006, with a special interest in life transitions, women’s issues, spirituality, anxiety, depression, and helping people to find meaning and purpose in life.

I provide individual therapy, consultations, neuropsychological assessments, and group-based services for children, teens, and adults. Across services, I offer personalized, compassionate care and help individuals and families harness sources of strength and resilience. Throughout this process, clients are better able to handle and cope with difficult circumstances in a busy world. More specifically, I use evidence-based approaches, such as CBT or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help clients address concerns and make changes that improve quality of life across contexts, including relationships with family or friends, school or work experiences, and overall wellbeing. Implicit to my practice is the belief that each one of us possesses the emotional wherewithal and many of the skills needed to navigate life’s journey; sometimes we just need to gain additional perspective and access workable strategies to move forward.

Life can be a constant struggle filled with challenges and difficult times. Therapy can help in navigating through the peaks and valleys of life. I strive to work with my clients to create a plan to live a happier and healthier life. Through processing emotions, focusing on the positive while exploring the negative, and utilizing positive coping techniques, a healthier, stronger mind can be formed. Your mental health is equally as important as your physical health, which is why I aim to provide a judgment free space for my clients to exercise their mind. While recognizing that you are the expert of your own life, I want to help you in achieving your therapeutic goals through a Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approach.

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.

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.

Life often comes at you from many angles, and sometimes the weight of change, anxiety, or difficult memories can make it hard to feel like yourself. With more than six years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor, my work is built around helping adolescents and adults navigate life's transitions, work through relationship issues, find balance, and reconnect with who they know themselves to be. Specializing in life adjustments that have often been created from feelings of anxiety and even potential traumatic experiences/memories, I understand how deeply personal and layered these experiences can be. Whether you're processing a major shift or working through something that has lingered for years, you deserve care that meets you where you are. My commitment to you goes beyond the session: I am dedicated to consistently evolving and growing with you each step of the way, while also focusing on continuing education to recognize and treat the various personal and life stressors taking place in the world around us. In our work together, the focus is entirely on you, because what you're experiencing, and related symptoms, deserve to be treated. Using evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy, we'll move toward self-healing in a way that feels grounded and sustainable. Support, motivation, and accountability are at the heart of how I practice. You can also expect therapeutic homework from time to time, with real-world opportunities to practice the skills we explore in session. Bringing those tools into your daily life is, I believe, one of the most powerful ways to set the tone and get us back to where we want to be. My path to becoming a therapist, much like life itself, has not always been linear and clear. Growing up in a divorced household, change and adjustment were constants. It was through my own experience in therapy that I discovered something remarkable: healing is genuinely possible, and with the right support, so is transformation. That discovery became the foundation of my practice. What was given to me through that work is exactly what I want to offer you. Change is achievable, on any level, and you don't have to find your way there alone. When I'm not in session, you'll likely find me cheering on a favorite team, getting lost in a psychological thriller, or spending time with family.

Today, you are one step closer to creating a life of greater health, healing, and well-being. As a trauma-informed therapist, Reiki Master, mindfulness teacher, and transformational coach, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can safely explore life’s challenges and discover your inner strengths. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences and goals. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. By combining evidence-based therapeutic practices with mindfulness and holistic approaches, I help clients develop practical skills to navigate stress, heal from past experiences, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, burnout, or simply seeking greater balance and purpose, we will work together to identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a path forward that reflects your values and aspirations. If you’re looking for support during a difficult time or you’re ready to move in a new direction, I would be honored to partner with you on your journey. Together, we can build a life that is not only meaningful and fulfilling but one that is truly worth celebrating—as defined by you.
