Hi there! My name is Ketrice and I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My career began at the bedside but I’ve always maintained a passion for knowing people. I’ve been academically prepared at Hofstra University, where I’m also obtaining my doctoral degree. I have experience working inpatient with the severely ill but also with those who just need some support through a rough time. I look forward to getting to know you!

I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and the complexities of major life transitions. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what’s holding you back and create a path forward that feels manageable and authentic. Trauma often leaves us feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed. I understand how hard it can be to face these feelings, especially when the past feels like it has a hold on the present. My approach is open, empathetic, and judgment-free, providing a space to process experiences and emotions at your own pace. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, a sudden life-altering event, or years of stress and struggle, we’ll approach it with curiosity and care. In addition to trauma, I have experience with body image concerns, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and navigating life as a young adult. I know these issues can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. Together, we’ll focus on practical steps to improve your day-to-day life while exploring the deeper patterns influencing your thoughts and actions. I use evidence-based approaches like DBT and CBT while tailoring our work to your specific needs. Therapy should empower you to become your own expert, offering insights and skills you can carry with you long after our sessions end. My goal is to help you uncover your full potential and take meaningful action toward the life you want. Outside of work, I balance my love of psychology with a passion for learning about the world through books, historical documentaries, and creative pursuits. I know the importance of finding joy and intellectual engagement outside of life’s challenges, a value I bring to my work with clients. If you’re ready to start your journey or just want to explore what therapy could look like for you, let’s take the first step together.

College is a lot. The pressure to perform — academically, socially, personally — while quietly managing anxiety, burnout, or something you haven't even put a name to yet is genuinely exhausting. You don't have to keep pushing through it on your own. At Resilience Therapy, we work with young adults who are done just getting by and ready to actually feel better.

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, and maybe even thinking in a different language all day. I grew up between Italy and the U.S., so I understand firsthand how tough it can be to exist between worlds. I want to help you work through those challenges so you can focus on the fun parts of being a college student in New York. Therapy is a nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. The goal is to find balance—keeping up with your workload without burning out, navigating friendships and relationships, and making time for yourself in the middle of it all. You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you're feeling homesick, overwhelmed, or just trying to stay afloat, I’m here to support you.

More experiences along the way led to my schooling and commitment to providing person-centered care with an intuitive and open-minded perspective. In my free time, I love honing my green thumb skills by being around and taking care of my many, many plants! More hobbies include immersing myself in nature, learning new things, caring for animals, and crocheting.
