Therapists for college students near New York University

I believe that suffering is something we all encounter, but the choice to face our vulnerability is where our innate strength and capacity to thrive emerges. Being truly seen, heard, and respected, especially in times of messiness and darkness, can unlock new space for connection, joy, and fulfillment. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment that is conducive to exploration without fear of judgment, tailoring treatment to meet individual goals and to best facilitate a person’s own ability to heal. I’m here to be part of the growth you seek towards living more authentically and meaningfully. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

I provide counseling for individuals and couples experiencing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, pre-marital, and sexual issues. I enjoy helping individuals and couples enhance and strengthen their relationships. My goal is to help individuals find greater meaning and purpose in life, and couples at all stages (dating, pre-engagement, marriage, and also re-marriage) develop greater intimacy in all aspects of their relationships. I believe that many individuals, couples, and families have created and endured narratives throughout their lives that may have caused difficulties, pain, and maybe some dysfunction. I desire to help these people to rewrite these narratives in ways that inspire hope and healing, and create new and healthy perspectives and lifestyles.

My clients are professionals at every stage of life navigating burnout, identity, relationships, cultural expectations, and the weight of always showing up for others. I draw on CBT, narrative, and strengths-based approaches that are always adapted to who you are and where you come from. My goal is to help you find what already works in you and build from there.

As a daughter of immigrants, I know firsthand the stigma that surrounds communities of color when it comes to mental health. My goal is to serve as a source of support in the healing process of BIPOC communities. Often, my clients arrive at sessions feeling lost and overwhelmed with cultural and societal expectations. I want to provide you with a space where you can feel safe, feel seen, be vulnerable, and work towards healing and connectedness. I work with individuals to help unlearn patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving them. I specialize in working with Latinx, millennials, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA communities. I integrate trauma-informed and experiential approaches in our work together to alleviate your distress and help you understand how your lived experiences have shaped your journey (e.g grief, life transitions). Our work together will be rooted in unpacking traumatic experiences, childhood experiences, challenging thinking patterns, and acculturative stress. I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to our work together. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure I am the right therapist.
