Students and Early Professionals
Therapy for Students & Early Professionals in New Jersey
​
Since 2017, I’ve worked in higher education settings supporting students through stress, identity exploration, and trauma. I bring not just clinical experience—but lived understanding. As someone pursuing a Doctorate in Education and actively researching institutional betrayal in university systems, I know the pressures, contradictions, and complications that often come with student life.
​
You may be trying to find your direction, hold it all together, or meet expectations that were never built with you in mind. Whether you’re the first in your family to pursue higher education, a grad student pushing through burnout, or a recent graduate wondering “what now?”—therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and move with intention.
Who I Work With
I offer therapy to students and early professionals across New Jersey, including:
-
College and graduate students (including PhD, MD, DDS, and professional programs)
-
First-generation and underrepresented students
-
Recent graduates navigating early career transitions
-
Individuals questioning identity, direction, or purpose
-
High School Students preparing for their next steps
What Therapy Can Help With
-
Creating space for overwhelm, uncertainty, and burnout—without needing to escape it
-
Clarifying who you are and what matters to you
-
Loosening the grip of perfectionism and pressure to perform
-
Building psychological flexibility to respond to stress with choice, not reactivity
​
Common Concerns
-
Academic anxiety, procrastination, and burnout
-
Identity exploration
-
Community and Belonging
-
Impostor syndrome and fear of not being “enough”
-
Pressure to succeed, especially as a first-gen student
-
Disillusionment with institutions or experiences of betrayal within them
-
Feeling directionless despite doing “everything right”
-
Institutional Betrayal
​
You don’t need a crisis to benefit from therapy. Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure is enough. Together, we can sort through the noise, explore what matters to you, and move toward a life that feels meaningful—even in systems that don’t always make space for it.
