Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Welcome! Struggling with relationship issues, substance use, or trauma's impact on your daily life? Feeling overwhelmed by sadness, anxiety, or stress? Many people today find it tough just to manage, let alone understand, their experiences. I help individuals improve their well-being, gain clarity on feelings, and develop effective coping strategies. My focus includes supporting young adults dealing with mood, PTSD, addiction, LGBTQ+ and TGNB experiences, and men’s health challenges. As a therapist and educator at NYU, I specialize in psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches, blending compassion with humor. Treatment is tailored to meet you where you are and guide you towards where you want to be. Let's collaborate on a journey towards a more resilient, purposeful, and peaceful self. OON.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by! I am here to help guide and support you through your current stressors. I conduct telehealth sessions only at this time.

I work with people who are carrying a lot — stress, responsibility, trauma, and the quiet pressure to keep going even when they’re exhausted. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered in their own lives. I bring extensive experience from the child welfare system, advocacy work, and supporting caretakers who often put everyone else first. I’ve worked with a wide range of populations, including individuals from Ultra-Orthodox communities, people with developmental disabilities, and members of New York City’s largest labor union. These experiences have shaped my ability to meet people where they are, with cultural sensitivity, respect, and curiosity. Many of the people I work with are overworked, overstressed, and struggling to find balance or confidence in the midst of demanding lives. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been through, and develop tools to feel more grounded, self-assured, and resilient. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating space for relief, growth, and meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating trauma, burnout, or simply need a place to exhale, I aim to offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. <script src="https://thrivingcampus.com/verified.js?pid=45991"></script>
