Do you struggle with often thinking about the worst case scenario? Does it affect your ability to sleep, function at work, and enjoy certain activities? Do you feel overwhelmed by things that you constantly have to do, resulting in feeling stuck and unable to take any action? Do you wonder if you’ll ever be able to live a life that is free of anxiety? People are feeling anxious on a regular basis now more than ever. However, life does not have to stay like this. Therapy can help you conquer tasks by learning coping skills to manage these day-to-day stressors. In my practice, I use a combination of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help you manage these daily stressors. You will learn realistic coping skills to then conquer that feeling of being stuck. I also emphasize the importance of the mind/body connection.

Together we will explore your personal fears, values, and goals so that you can build the life you want.

College can be exciting and full of possibility, but it can also feel heavy. You might be juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, or questions about who you are and who you want to be.

Whatever you’re facing, you deserve a place where you don’t have to hold it all together. That’s where I come in.

A Key Therapy is a group practice of licensed, mindfulness-based therapists — most of us social workers — working with students and young adults through secure telehealth. We see what tends to surface during college and the years right after: anxiety humming under a full schedule, depression, burnout, grief, relationship and family stress, identity questions, and the transitions that come with starting, pausing, or finishing school. Mindfulness-based therapy is our specialty, not a side offering — our clinicians pair evidence-based treatment with mindfulness practice so you spend less energy white-knuckling hard feelings and more learning to meet them with steadiness. Starting therapy can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. You don't need the right words or a tidy story to begin. Reach out and we'll answer your questions and match you with the clinician who's the right fit. Licensed in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia. Individual and group sessions, telehealth statewide.
