Feeling like you need a safe space? Maybe you've felt pressured to hide parts of yourself and have struggled to connect with others, or you feel isolated and misunderstood. Perhaps your emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to manage, or it's hard to feel present when you are around other people. If you are struggling, you do not have to do it alone! I work with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It can be hard to adjust to college life and even harder to navigate if you need ac...
Reaching out for support takes courage, and finding the right therapist shouldn't feel like another stressful task. My practice is built on a simple belief: therapy works best when it’s a genuine partnership, not a clinical checklist. I am here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can drop the mask and just be yourself. Since earning my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Hunter College, I have spent my career helping individuals navigate the heavy stuff—whether that’s anxiety, d...
You don’t have to carry the weight of everyone else’s expectations. In early adulthood, life can feel like a constant balancing act. Between building a career, navigating relationships, and trying to meet the high standards you (and others) set, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. If you find yourself constantly saying "yes" when you want to say "no," or feeling disconnected from your own body and emotions, I’m here to help you find your way back to yourself. A Mind-Body Approach to He...
You deserve a life that feels like yours—not just one you’re surviving. Growing up and navigating young adulthood is hard enough on its own. When you add the weight of trauma, anxiety, or the intensity of a personality disorder, it can feel like you’re fighting a battle no one else sees. I want you to know that you are worth the effort it takes to heal, and you don’t have to do it alone. I am dedicated to creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can bring your whole self—messy parts ...
You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. Life has a way of throwing challenges at us that feel impossible to navigate alone.

I provide a down-to-earth, judgment-free space where you can drop the "perfect" act and focus on what’s actually going on. I believe therapy works best when it’s a coll...
Life changes fast, and sometimes it leaves us feeling like we’re just trying to catch up.

Your voice leads the way. I specialize in a Humanistic appr...
Hi, I'm Vilija (Vi-lee-uh)! It takes courage to admit that even "capable" people need support. Most of the clients I work with are the ones who hold it all together—thoughtful, high-achieving individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns they are finally ready to shift. If you are carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating relationship stress, or just questioning who you are outside of your achievements, I am here to help you stop performing and start healing. I ...

These approaches allow us to explore emotional patterns, understand protective parts, and challenge the ...

The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you hold with yourself. I know that when you are navigating a major life transition, recovering from addiction, or living with the daily, invisible weight of chronic pain, it’s easy to feel disconnected from your own body and mind. You might feel like you are just "managing" rather than living. I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you don’t have to carry that weight alone. My goal is to help you move from survival mode to a pl...
What was your path to becoming a mental health provider? Having experienced the challenges associated with health issues and the limited access to care I experienced, I seek to create an equitable, safe space for all searching for support. What should someone know about working with you? I find that humor has its place in a quality therapeutic relationship-I want to hear about your interests, your moments of levity, and things that make you laugh-not just challenges. How do you continue ...
