Therapists for college students near New York University
Trauma and the destabilizing events of our lives can impact our ability to grow no matter when or how they happen. We can find ourselves in harmful or unmanageable cycles that persist. By creating a safe space to creatively experiment in therapy you can provide yourself with the means and intention to grow. As a Clinician I have worked with clients experiencing addiction, the impact of trauma, and family dysfunction. Perhaps these challenges have led to unhealthy behaviors that don't fit who you are and what you need anymore. Or that you have reached many of your goals but realize the cost has been an internal battle that persists. I am passionate about partnering with my clients to create that safe space and have been inspired by witnessing what happens when it is created. Using a trauma informed lens I offer concrete tools for growth for those experiencing acute symptoms and mindfully move folks into deeper and more intimate somatic and creative interventions when ready.
Born and raised in Manhattan, I help patients overcome stress to achieve satisfaction and peace in their everyday lives. As a board-certified therapist with two Master's Degrees (Psychology & Clinical Social Work) and full state licensure, I have the education and experience necessary to treat folks suffering from anxiety, depression, social isolation, interpersonal conflict, addiction, relationship issues, avoidance issues, grief, and more. I've honed my assessment and intervention skills through years of working in the medical field, having studied under some of the most prominent psychologists and psychiatrists in New York City. My style is relational and empathic, but at times challenging. It is important to me that my patients achieve the best therapeutic results. I employ different modalities of treatment rooted in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral foundations—I help you understand what goals will most satisfy you, why those goals will satisfy you, and how to achieve them. I have centered my practice around a balance between stoicism and idealism. We only have so much control over what happens in life. I can help you build resilience and anti-fragility in reaction to difficult stimuli. If my services feel like the right fit for you, then please call, text, or email for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

You might be someone who’s always striving—high-achieving on the outside, yet still feeling like it’s never enough. Or you may be carrying past experiences that continue to hurt, or navigating the tension between cultures, family expectations, and societal pressures. Whatever brings you here, we can explore your story together and move toward your unique path of healing. I work with women and Asian immigrants who have experienced trauma, as well as clients navigating generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. I also help people manage challenges like depression and navigating life transitions. In our sessions, you’ll have space to look at what healing means to you, why certain pains linger, how they show up, and how we might begin to rise above them or make peace with them. If this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Send an inquiry today and start your therapy journey. Sessions are available via telehealth or in-person. Evening sessions are also available. Please inquire for further information on available appointment times.

I believe that we all possess the power to make lasting changes in our lives. We just need the right support. I take a holistic attitude to understanding the challenges my clients face, including paying attention to the importance of culture and environment. I believe that change occurs when we acknowledge intersectionality, the complexity of identity, and the important roles that social systems like family, religion, culture, class, gender, and race play in people’s lives, not when we ignore the broader picture and focus only on the individual. My goal is to walk with you on your journey and provide compassionate and collaborative guidance that fits exactly who you are while helping you move towards how you want to be in the world. I work with people dealing with a whole variety of mental health and mental wellness concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, spirituality, career and personal development, grief and loss, and life transitions. I have a special love for providing counseling to international students, immigrants, and refugees. Want to get started? Email me.
The decision to seek out therapy often happens during a particularly difficult moment in life. Whatever led you to pursue therapy, it should feel like a safe environment where you are treated as the greatest expert of your own life experience. I bring extensive knowledge of LGBTQ+ communities, as well as expertise on the unique issues faced by non-monogamous people, sex workers, and kink/BDSM-aligned individuals. Therapy with me is a collaborative, relational process, where it is my goal to provide you with support and tools to navigate life's challenges. I have an eclectic therapy style, but primarily employ Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic theory to support our work. The process of finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. My goal is to ensure that you have the best support you can get, wherever that may be. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule an initial consultation call, and to see how I can best support you as you walk down this path of healing. You've already taken the first step.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, sexuality or relationships? Life comes with struggles and transitions that are often difficult to manage on our own. Together we will identify how your life experiences have brought you to this point and with this increased awareness give you tools that in turn will help reduce distress, create better ways of coping, and promote healing that allows for greater sense of enjoyment, perspective and balance and in your life overall.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience conducting Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT.) Aside from my extensive educational and clinical experience, my work is influenced by my lived experience, as an immigrant, fully fluent in Spanish, first generation college student, and parent to neurodivergent youth. I offer a professional and direct, yet warm and personable style to effectively help my clients, including young and older college students, address the stressors and mental health challenges they are facing, including relationship issues, adjustment disorders, depression, and anxiety. I am also an expert in the early diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders and have worked with parents and siblings of individuals presenting with ASD, ADHD, and other conditions.
I’m a licensed psychologist specializing in therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, sleep disruption, self-harm urges, and identity or relationship stress. If you’d like to explore working together, I invite you to reach out to schedule a free consultation call and see whether my approach feels like the right fit.
People seek me out for many reasons, including when they feel anxious or depressed, as well as when they are struggling with anger, grappling with traumatic events, feeling stuck, or simply sensing that something's not quite right. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I'm skilled at working with people during various life transitions, including the excitement and stress of college life and the uncertainties that may await after graduation. I also have expertise in working with all manner of questions related to sexuality, gender, and relationships of all kinds. In working with me, you can expect to find an attentive listener who will help you gain insight and work toward more effective coping strategies. In addition to feeling better, you will likely feel more empowered to live a more fulfilling life.
I am a psychodynamically focused therapist. I work with college students who are facing a crucial transformation in their lives. Often, the change from high school to college can be overwhelming, isolating, and lonely. My goal is to establish a trusting relationship with you. I hope to create a safe enough space to talk about feelings and thoughts that are difficult to share with family and friends.
My work is primarily catered toward issues such as acute stress, interpersonal difficulties, and challenges involving mood and anxiety. While I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, I am particularly invested in working with clients with marginalized identities, acting as a welcoming ally to queer and trans identified individuals and people of color. As a therapist, I have close to a decade of experience working with a range of at-risk populations in a number of professional settings. Many of my clients arrive feeling like they move from one stressor to the next. Getting out of bed is difficult, creativity and passion fade, and scrolling on a screen replaces human contact. My practice aims at helping individuals uncover, clarify, and address substantial barriers which block pleasure and satisfaction. The work I do involves a deep exploration of historical, interpersonal, and emotional factors in conjunction with the development of practical skills aimed at fostering wellness.
One of the main focus areas of my practice is working with emerging adults in their late teens, 20's and 30's and helping them navigate the often challenging transition from adolescence to adulthood. This can include social anxiety, perfectionism, challenges focusing, big decision making, family relationships, dating and more. I offer a no-pressure, free video call consultation to see if we're a good fit. Please feel free to reach out.
