As a former NYC college professor and academic, I understand the unique pressures facing undergraduate and graduate students. Balancing demanding academics with a fast-moving social environment can feel overwhelming. I’ve helped many students find stability, confidence, and resilience during these years.

For many students, college is the first time living away from home and managing life independently. This transition can surface underlying psychological struggles while intensifying academic and social pressures. You may find it hard to make friends, feel socially disconnected on campus, or feel lost in the city’s pace. If this resonates, I can help you make sense of these challenges, build connection, and feel more grounded.

College courses are often far more demanding than high school, making it easy to fall behind or feel buried under deadlines. At the same time, social life in NYC offers endless opportunities — but that can create pressure to keep up. Academic success matters for your future, but so do relationships, community, and personal well-being. I help students find a realistic, healthy balance that supports both achievement and meaningful social connection.

College and early adulthood are defining periods of identity formation. I offer a thoughtful, supportive space for self-exploration — helping young adults better understand their inner conflicts, motivations, and aspirations. With the right support, college can become a transformative time of self-discovery, growth, and intellectual richness, rather than a source of anxiety or uncertainty.
