Our therapeutic approach at Strategic Solutions utilizes a brief, problem solving model that focuses on understanding and treating problems within their intimate context. The goal of therapy is to resolve the presenting problem while fostering supportive, functional relationships. Family problems are embedded in relationship patterns, which can become unproductive and perpetuate, rather than solve problems. Our approach is strength-based and outcome oriented. The focus of therapy is understanding the client's goals for change and then working together to solve those problems directly.

I help people cope with challenges that hinder their ability to reach their full potential. Life is full of transitions, and can often become overwhelming when struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, identity problems, and/or relationship stress. I primarily specialize in working with late-adolescent to adult males struggling to navigate a successful future - one that often times becomes murky through these types of lenses.

Hello, I am a Catholic/Christian Marriage and Family Therapist. I got my Masters Degree at Southern Connecticut and have worked in private practice in Connecticut and Colorado. I believe our struggles are at times rooted in our wounds and the lies and beliefs we have taken on throughout our lives. Healing is the process of unburdening those lies and embracing wholeness. I have worked with individuals and couples who are searching for a healthier way to communicate and relate to each other and the world. The Lord desires our healing and I am here to assist in that journey.

Telehealth Openings...schedule today! I have enjoyed success helping those I work with to overcome grief/loss, alleviate depression, manage anxious thoughts, control anger, and improve self-esteem. My approach is Cognitive-Behavioral, and I use homework/worksheet activities as well as goal-setting to direct the course of therapy. While working together, I help build on current strengths and find resources that are the best fit for personal growth. Here are some examples of activities I use: practicing gratitude, creating life vision plans, and writing a personal mission statement.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
