Therapists for college students near New York University

I practice what is called Person-Centered Therapy, meaning it is adapted to you and your needs. I work by the belief that true growth and change comes not just from techniques or plans, but from our relationships with each other. Using a Person-Centered approach, I look to help each person identify and use their own strengths, interests and existing supports to create the positive and healthy life for themselves that they envision. I incorporate professional and personal experiences and interests to create a relationship with clients that will foster trust and communication.

Perhaps you feel trapped in patterns that no longer serve you or burdened by emotional pain that feels impossible to overcome.

By integrating Christian counseling with evidence-based methods like solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, brief crisis intervention. My mission is to empower, uplift, and nurture healing by offering care that supports both personal and spiritual growth. You don’t have to carry your burdens alone. Taking the first step to seek support is a powerful act of self-care and renewal. Reach out today, and let’s walk together toward healing, purpose, and a life filled with hope and strength.

Learning how to navigate life as a young adult is hard! You are trying to balance the demands of work or school, family, and friends, all while while figuring out who you are and who you want to be. As a driven and successful individual, you may put a lot of pressure on yourself and feel constrained by your own expectations. This can lead to constant self-doubt and feeling like you’re always reaching for an unattainable (or unrealistic) goal. You may be overextending yourself to others, and not focusing on yourself. Perhaps you have negative thought patterns or behaviors that are causing discomfort or you don’t always understand your reactions. Let’s work together to discover the barriers that are keeping you from finding balance in your life - taking care of yourself and setting boundaries is not selfish! I provide virtual therapy to clients located in New York, Florida, and internationally.
