3 Years as an NYU Crisis Response Counselor

LMHC, LPC — Therapist & Co-Founder

Licensed in New York, Florida, and Georgia

I spent three years as a Crisis Response Counselor at NYU sitting with students through their hardest moments on campus. That work shapes everything I do now: I understand the specific pressures of college life, from managing a lot on the outside while privately wrestling with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that keep you stuck. My clients want more than symptom relief, they want to understand themselves more deeply and move through life with greater clarity and ease. I integrate person-centered therapy with CBT and practical skills training, with a sex-positive, affirming approach that welcomes clients across all identities, including LGBTQ+ clients. Research consistently shows the relationship between client and therapist is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes, and I take that seriously in every session. I built ThirdSpace with you in mind. reaching out takes courage, so take that first step.
