or many students, college is their first time living away from home and managing life independently. This transition can be challenging, as underlying psychological issues often intensify amid the pressures of adulthood and the fast pace of New York City. You might struggle to make friends or feel out of place on campus. The overwhelming city environment can also lead to feelings of loneliness and social isolation. If this sounds familiar, I’m here to help you navigate these challenges and find connection.

College courses are usually more demanding than high school, making it hard to keep up with coursework, manage time, and handle exam stress. Being a college student is challenging—academic success matters for your future, but social activities are also essential for personal growth, networking, and stress relief. Finding a healthy balance between academics and social life can be tough.

College students and young adults are often still shaping their sense of self and identity. I offer a supportive space for self-exploration, understanding, and strengthening of the self, helping New York college students better grasp their challenges and aspirations. Building a strong sense of self can make your college experience in New York City transformative—leading to personal growth, self-discovery, and intellectual enrichment.
