Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Welcome. I am an licensed psychologist with a decade of experience helping students and young adults to navigate transitions and effectively manage mental health. My approach is warm and practical, providing evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs and goals. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, you will receive an opportunity to speak and understand your experiences in a new light. And we will work together to find paths towards a more fulfilling life. For those interested in the details of my approach, I primarily utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including more specific CBT-based treatments (e.g. Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and various evidence-based treatments for PTSD). In addition to therapy, I also provide a variety of assessment services, including diagnostic clarification and psychoeducational assessment, including diagnosis of ADHD. Please reach out for a free consultation call if you think my practice might be a fit for your needs.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring considerable expertise to my position as a provider in an outpatient substance abuse clinic. With a solid background in psychiatric emergency room and inpatient care, I have refined my abilities over 7 years in high-patient volume settings. This experience has equipped me to better recognize and attend to the needs of individuals struggling with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and general psychiatric disorders.

I work with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change—people who want to feel confident, connected, and in control of their lives. Many of my clients are seeking support for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, relationship challenges, or low self-esteem. My goal is to help you move toward a healthier, fulfilling version of yourself. Many of my patients are readers. When desired, I suggest novels that offer insight, perspectives, or emotional connections to themes we’re exploring in therapy. This creates a meaningful and creative pathway to growth. Curious? Follow The Character's Toolkit on IG Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll start by identifying your strengths and any patterns—whether in thinking, behavior, or relationships—that may be holding you back. From there, we’ll use evidence-based strategies to build healthier, more sustainable ways of coping and engaging with life. I see patients online in New York and Virginia, and in person or online in Missouri. I've been in private practice for 10+ years. Before that, I worked in inpatient, PHP, and IOP settings. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out for a free consultation call to get to know each other and see if working together feels right to you.

With over a decade of experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, and psychiatric and medical social work, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to the therapy process. My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and always rooted in respect for you and your own unique experiences. I work with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, self-esteem issues, substance use concerns, and women's issues. I also enjoy working with other healthcare professionals and caregivers; people who spend so much of their time caring for others, that they forget how to care for themselves. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is warm, approachable, and easy to talk to- all while helping to move beyond insight into meaningful action.

As a mental health counselor, I work with adolescents and young adults as they move through life's transitions, helping them manage anxiety and depression triggers, process the changes they’re experiencing, and find healthier ways to understand and manage their emotions. I’m passionate about helping patients build confidence and self-esteem along the way. Reliability, respect, and trust guide how I show up as a supportive and trustworthy clinician. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and learn how to manage the challenges you may face along the way. I specialize in using CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to build coping skills and strategies for managing the stressors that come with different stages of life, along with Motivational Interviewing, or MI, to help you find what motivates you and use that motivation to make changes in your life. This approach is collaborative, empathetic, and pragmatic, and tailored to your unique story. Creating a strong therapeutic alliance is also central to how I work, because I believe it can be key to successfully attaining goals in therapy. It matters to me that patients feel safe and free of judgment, and that is what I hope to provide as your clinician. Together, we can build a calm and supportive environment where you feel comfortable working toward your goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own journey through therapy, experiencing its effects and the support that therapy can provide to those who are engaged in it. I wanted to offer that same support and comfort to others, creating a safe and empathetic environment where patients could work toward their goals. This experience deepened my commitment to providing consistent, supportive, warm, and welcoming care. Carrying that experience forward, I bring the idea that each person and each session hold its own story. In our sessions, I hope to learn your story and support you in reviewing your previous chapters while creating a plan to help you write the next one. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, whether we're headed to the beach, a concert, or a new restaurant — I'm always up for a new adventure. Sporting events are another favorite, especially cheering on women's sports and the PWHL. On calmer days, you'll find me watching movies of all kinds, reading books, or spending time with my dog.

With today's challenges, we need more effective and efficient strategies for managing our lives. Whether it is a lifetime of worry, reoccurring depression, or a recent crisis; my gift is empowering people to overcome their obstacles. Share with me what it is like to be you, and together we will create a plan for safely transforming your negative life experiences into healthier perspectives that will provide lasting relief. More specifically, each session is likely to include a blend of: - Understanding your role in your family and environment - Reprocessing disturbing events for resolution - Integrating healthier messages - Learning new life skills in areas such as asserting, relaxing, dating, or parenting. I have always been the person people opened up to about what was bothering them. I am a professionally trained counselor and I want to help you understand what has gotten you to this point in your life and determine where to go from there. I'm open, honest, authentic, and have a deep faith that prevails. I believe all humans, no matter their experience or trauma, can heal - and there are lots of ways to heal! Let’s customize a plan, blending a wide range of treatments.

I provide therapy that’s rooted in cultural humility. I believe trust grows when we honor the full spectrum of your identity—race, gender, work environments, religious affiliation, family, and beyond. I’m interested in the “why” behind things. Many of our thoughts, feelings, and reactions make sense when we look at earlier experiences or relationships. In therapy, we gently explore those patterns—how they show up now, and whether they’re helping or holding you back. I work in partnership with you. We’ll determine your course of treatment together. I believe the most lasting change happens when your voice is central to the process.

Welcome! I am so glad that you found my page. Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or you feel like you have tried everything, and nothing seems to help, I look forward to partnering with you to take the next step towards growth. My practice offers therapy and psychological testing services aimed at helping my clients identify and utilize their strengths to foster relationships and build community, grow toward individualized goals, and cope with life's challenges.

Living with OCD or anxiety can be exhausting. The constant doubt, intrusive thoughts, avoidance and compulsions can make everyday life feel overwhelming— like it's running your life instead of you. I specialize in helping adults break free from OCD, perfectionism, and anxiety disorders. I understand how isolating these struggles can feel, and I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can feel understood while learning practical tools to understand anxiety and move toward what truly matters to you. If you're struggling with OCD, we’ll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. Together we'll build a concrete treatment plan, and with steady support, you’ll gradually face fears, and reduce compulsions, building confidence and learning that you can handle uncertainty without relying on rituals. To address anxiety and perfectionism, I integrate CBT and ACT techniques, so you can develop a healthier mindset and respond to difficult thoughts with more flexibility and self-compassion. Therapy is active and goal-oriented, but always grounded in warmth and respect. I’d love to support you in this process.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, upsetting intrusive thoughts, or past emotional wounds that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, and sense of safety. They are ready for relief, connection, and to feel more in control of their lives. I help clients by providing specialized treatments for anxiety conditions, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), perfectionism, and the deep echoes of trauma—from relational and intergenerational wounds to betrayal trauma. I believe therapy can help us grow, even through deep pain. My role is to help you approach yourself with curiosity and compassion while guiding you toward healing and meaningful change. If this feels like the right fit for you then let's connect.
