Therapists for college students near New York University
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with advanced doctoral training, I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, mood disorders, and attention-related concerns, including ADHD, depression, and the kind of persistent overthinking that makes daily life feel heavier than it should. If you've been struggling to find the right treatment approach, feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, or overwhelmed by the complexity of what you're experiencing, you're in the right place. My goal is to help you make sense of your symptoms and create changes that actually last. You can expect clarity, honesty, and care that is genuinely tailored to you. Direct, individualized, and rooted in clinical evidence is how I approach every session. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy, we'll work together to help you understand your patterns, reduce overwhelm, and build clear, sustainable change. The environment we create will be honest and grounded, a space where you feel supported without being placated. Every person who walks through the door brings a unique situation, and my approach reflects that. Whether the focus is on mood instability, emotional dysregulation, or attention-related challenges, the work is always shaped around what you need most. Seeing firsthand how mental health challenges can shape daily life, relationships, and the way people see themselves drew me to this work. That early exposure wasn't just formative; it became the foundation of my commitment to care that is both clinically effective and genuinely human. I approach each session with that grounded, compassionate perspective, because good treatment requires both. Outside of work, I'm drawn to travel, good food, and the intentional practice of rest. In a busy world, carving out space to reset isn't a luxury; it's something I genuinely believe in, both for myself and for the people I work with.

Our NYC-based practice specializes in anxiety and OCD treatment for college students and young adults. Many of the students we work with are high achievers who are used to pushing through, but are finding that anxiety, overthinking, or burnout are becoming harder to manage. This often shows up as getting stuck in your head, feeling overwhelmed by academic or social pressure, or getting caught in patterns of procrastination, perfectionism, or avoidance. For some, OCD or panic are a big part of the picture. College also brings a new level of independence, and managing academics, friendships, and daily life on your own can make these patterns feel more intense. Our approach is warm, structured, and grounded, focused on helping you understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical skills, and feel more confident navigating this stage of life.

As a psychodynamic therapist with more than four years of experience, I help adults better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they can feel more present and fulfilled in their day-to-day life. My approach is psychodynamic and trauma informed to help you better navigate anxiety, depression, or major life changes while working toward deeper self-understanding and changes that feel meaningful in your everyday life. In each session, we explore how past experiences might be influencing the way you think, feel, and relate to others today. At the same time, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness to keep our work focused in the present, helping you notice patterns as they come up, shift unhelpful thoughts, and feel more grounded in everyday life. Prior to my role at SOL Mental Health, I worked for more than four years in community mental health in New York City. This experience deepened my commitment to providing warm, compassionate, and individualized care in a collaborative space where patients feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with more clarity and intention.
