Through establishing a supportive and understanding therapeutic connection as well as medication management, my goal is to empower students to tackle their college journey with confidence and strength.

I work with college students and young adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family patterns, eating disorders, or a general sense that something feels off — even when life looks fine on the outside. My approach is warm, relational, and depth-oriented. Rather than focusing only on symptom management or coping strategies, I'm interested in helping you understand what's underneath — the patterns, histories, and experiences that shape how you feel and relate to others. I offer psychotherapy and integrate attachment-focused EMDR when it feels appropriate. Sessions are available in-person in Beacon, NY and Manhattan, and virtually throughout New York State. If you're not sure what you want to work on, that's okay. Many people come to therapy knowing something isn't working but not yet able to name it. We can figure that out together.

I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and the complexities of major life transitions. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what’s holding you back and create a path forward that feels manageable and authentic. Trauma often leaves us feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed. I understand how hard it can be to face these feelings, especially when the past feels like it has a hold on the present. My approach is open, empathetic, and judgment-free, providing a space to process experiences and emotions at your own pace. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, a sudden life-altering event, or years of stress and struggle, we’ll approach it with curiosity and care. In addition to trauma, I have experience with body image concerns, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and navigating life as a young adult. I know these issues can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. Together, we’ll focus on practical steps to improve your day-to-day life while exploring the deeper patterns influencing your thoughts and actions. I use evidence-based approaches like DBT and CBT while tailoring our work to your specific needs. Therapy should empower you to become your own expert, offering insights and skills you can carry with you long after our sessions end. My goal is to help you uncover your full potential and take meaningful action toward the life you want. Outside of work, I balance my love of psychology with a passion for learning about the world through books, historical documentaries, and creative pursuits. I know the importance of finding joy and intellectual engagement outside of life’s challenges, a value I bring to my work with clients. If you’re ready to start your journey or just want to explore what therapy could look like for you, let’s take the first step together.

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, and maybe even thinking in a different language all day. I grew up between Italy and the U.S., so I understand firsthand how tough it can be to exist between worlds. I want to help you work through those challenges so you can focus on the fun parts of being a college student in New York. Therapy is a nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. The goal is to find balance—keeping up with your workload without burning out, navigating friendships and relationships, and making time for yourself in the middle of it all. You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you're feeling homesick, overwhelmed, or just trying to stay afloat, I’m here to support you.

My mission is to be an objective, receptive, and open-minded counselor who acts in your best interest at all times. My specialties include helping college-aged students navigate adulthood and new responsibilities, with goals of managing time and stress better; individuals going through relationship problems, boundary issues, and finding their authentic selves; adults who have experienced loss or trauma, whether that be as part of their past or an ongoing situation in their life; patients who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders, with goals of not being controlled by their disorders; and patients with goals of gaining more confidence and self-esteem. I look forward to assisting you in realizing your mental health goals as we work together. Grab a cup of coffee or tea – any drink really. Get comfortable, and expect to be heard and seen, able to talk openly and honestly without judgement, when you’re in my care. I offer a person-centered approach that revolves around you and your unique needs, and is based around core values of acceptance, autonomy, and being genuine. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy, I guide you toward discovering who you are and what you want most out of life, as I am passionate about healing through the changing of thought processes. I knew I wanted to be a counselor at a young age, as friends opened up to me easily. This interest started me along a journey of self-discovery, where I learned more about myself as a person and how to heal all parts of me, which helps me assist others in their own healing journeys. More experiences along the way led to my schooling and commitment to providing person-centered care with an intuitive and open-minded perspective. In my free time, I love honing my green thumb skills by being around and taking care of my many, many plants! More hobbies include immersing myself in nature, learning new things, caring for animals, and crocheting.
