Therapy for Young Adults in NY Young adulthood and being a college student is the time in our life with the most changes in comparison to our entire lifespan. It is when we are trying to establish ourselves as individuals, separate from our families, and acclimate to college life and plan our futures. We are faced with endless opportunities and the freedom may feel scary. Some college students have feelings of anxiety and depression due to the level of independence and feeling a lack of direction. As a therapist in Westchester, I help young adults struggling with: -finding meaningful friendships -finding meaningful romantic relationships -adapting to a college environment -adjustment to graduating college -lack a sense of direction -lack a sense of identity -family conflicts -poor coping mechanisms -ambivalence about career choices -difficulty making decisions -generalized anxiety disorder -social anxiety disorder -obsessive compulsive disorder -phobias -panic attacks -fear of vomiting -perfectionistic thinking patterns -depression -low self-esteem Our work together can help you feel grounded during a time of important decision making and change. Schedule a consultation with me today so we can get to know each other and see if we're a good fit for therapy.

My therapeutic approach is catered for each client. For those with anxiety disorders, I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help my clients learn about the intersections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Much of therapy includes learning and trying out new ways of thinking, utilizing coping skills that emphasize regulating your nervous system, and safely exposing yourself to anxiety-provoking things in order to overcome your fears. For clients who have experienced trauma and interpersonal/relational challenges, I use trauma-focused CBT and psychodynamic therapy with an attachment lens. I aim to support my clients in processing their experiences, reclaiming their narratives, and connecting to their values. I want to help my clients gain insight on root causes of distress, while also helping them explore how to engage in interpersonal relationships in healthier ways. My style is warm and collaborative. In session, I try to balance insight-oriented and skills-based approaches. I am active in teaching and helping clients develop new, healthy coping skills, in order to deal with stress better. I integrate feminist and multicultural approaches, and strive to help explore the impacts of oppression, privilege, and societal expectations, on mental health.

Do you sometimes feel as though you are an actor, playing a role in public, but living very differently in private? Do you engage in behaviors that you might not be totally proud to reveal? Maybe its getting high, or gaming, or gambling or porn. To me, it doesn't really matter. and it doesn't really matter whether these actions are seen by others as "good" or "bad." My concern is you. If you are engaging in behaviors that you feel ashamed of, that you have tried to cut down or cut out but couldn't, then I want to help. We can work together to identify what is helpful and what is not, see where these behaviors fit into your life and make adjustments as needed. This is how I live my personal and professional life and I hope to be able to be of service to you. I look forward to speaking with you.
