Therapists for college students near New York University
I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma related to their relationships, career, stressful events, or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
With over 18 years of experience in the field of social work, I am dedicated to supporting individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, autism, trauma, and PTSD. I believe that therapy should be a safe and collaborative space where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is always client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your needs, goals, and personal comfort. I am licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I use a combination of CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic theory to provide personalized therapy that fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, and long-term growth. As an LGBTQ+ allied therapist, I create an inclusive, affirming space. Being bilingual and fluent in Spanish, I ensure therapy is accessible to the Latino community. My mission is to help you achieve a higher quality of life by providing tools to manage challenges, build resilience, and cultivate self-compassion. With empathy and respect, I support your unique journey. Healing is personal, and I’m here to help you take the next step toward meaningful change.

Substances have a way of putting us on a merry-go-round that will not stop. Substances help us regulate our mood, push out the uncomfortable, keep us walled off from our surroundings. Something happens in life, and we "want to stop", but do not know how to stop. And, we use again. If you are struggling with substances, unhappy with your life, tired of chasing the next high, ask for help. You can text or call me. Maybe it is time for you to rethink your relationship to substances.

YOU’RE NOT LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT TO BE LIVING. You’re unhappy, but you’re not sure why. At times, we can feel lost, numb, and disconnected from ourselves. There can be many reasons for this, and through our work together, we will understand what these are and how to reconnect, to live a vibrant, fully embodied life. Perhaps, no matter how many times you talk about past trauma, it still feels raw. Something isn’t healing. SOME PART STILL FEELS STUCK. It’s been my experience that trauma lives in the body, as well as the mind, and when we treat only the thoughts or the pictures in our heads, the deepest part of what is hurt sometimes isn’t heard. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, particularly childhood sexual abuse, in techniques that reach the whole self, such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and will work together to heal the past so that you can live fully in the present as a whole and empowered self. HAVING A NEW BABY can bring with it the highest highs and the lowest lows. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, and scared, and that you’re doing it wrong. Parenthood is a time of growth, but also an adjustment period, maybe the biggest we have ever faced! AS A MOTHER MYSELF, I understand this journey, and through my past work and training in perinatal loss and mood disorders, am here to help you navigate this time, and feel stronger as a result. Any transition into a new time of life, be it as a college student, first-time parent, or navigating midlife, there is the potential for creativity and growth, but uncertainty, anxiety, and fear as well. I’M HERE TO HELP YOU THROUGH THESE TIMES OF CHANGE. My approach is collaborative, creative, and individualized. Just as every fingerprint and person is unique, it’s my belief that every therapy should be as well.
