We believe that you should have the specialized support you need, where you need. We have designed our program specifically around the college schedule to provide you with the opportunity to complete DBT skills training during the semester. We work with you to help you navigate the specific challenges facing college students. Learn to be engage in the present, manage difficult emotions, deal with stress, and increase relationship satisfaction. We begin treatment by encouraging you to enumerate your short-term and long-term life goals. This process in itself is challenging for many people, as they simply have never defined and verbalized their goals. With your goals in mind we can identify, target, and treat current and past obstacles that stand in the way of meaningful change. Often, feelings of anxiety or depression or problematic behaviors seem like an insurmountable mountain, through clearly and specifically stating your goals we carve a path over that mountain. We are trained and practicing DBT therapists. Additionally, we are trained in DBT-PE and TF-CBT for trauma, as well as CBT for anxiety and depression. Licensed to service students in NY and FL. We look forward to working together with you, helping you to understand and achieve your goals.

I believe that we all benefit from having someone in our corner to listen, motivate, challenge without judgment, and support through life’s unpredictable changes and challenges. Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or not embodying the life you want for yourself, know that whatever you’re going through, change IS possible, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life. Having a holistic therapeutic approach, we will consider different aspects of your life in the quest for health & wellness. This includes your emotional responses to challenges, personal relationships, creative or spiritual outlets, and daily habits and rituals. Rather than just suggest that you incorporate new practices into your life, I believe it's most effective to integrate tools into therapy. Together, we will learn and practice coping skills like breathing techniques, meditation, and changing negative thinking patterns, in order to support your confidence and familiarity in utilizing these tools on your own.

I use multiple modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness practice, and strengths-based perspectives. A phone call or email can't hurt!

Do you struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, or overthinking? Have you tried talk therapy before but didn't feel that it gave you practical ways to cope with these issues? It can be terrifying to share your inner thoughts and fears with another person, but I assure you that I am here to offer my non-judgmental support, warmth, and expertise to help you see tangible improvements in your anxiety and in your life. As an experienced OCD and anxiety therapist, I draw from evidence-based approaches (such as CBT, ACT, and ERP), tailoring treatment to meet your specific needs. My approach is active and collaborative, and our sessions will involve learning and practice skills together. My clients tend to leave therapy feeling more hopeful, calm, and confident. You don't have to try to solve your anxiety on your own. If you would like to learn more about how we can work together to overcome your challenges - please reach out!

I aim to build on this insight and to utilize my expertise to help you live your best life.
