Thinking about starting therapy or getting your child started? I’m here to give you a little motivational nudge in the right direction. Let's get rid of the outdated stigma: seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy isn’t just for when things go wrong; it’s also about personal growth! Let’s be real, we all spend so much time scrolling through social media, comparing ourselves to curated lives. Therapy can help you tune out that noise and focus on what truly matters—your own well-being. You owe it to yourself to invest in your mental health. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it.

As a therapist, I offer a warm space for collaboration. Let's explore what matters to you, and navigate the experiences that have shaped your current world. I believe that our views of ourselves/others are often negatively shaped by our environments, such as a toxic family member or pattern of failure/loss. I'd like to help you let go of negative beliefs and emotions you've held on to over the years, and make room for others that help you more effectively make movement toward your goals. I am dual-licensed in NY and IN and can serve individuals in either state virtually!

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work with couples to improve communication, emotional/sexual intimacy, learn love languages, rebuild respect and trust, and adjust to parenthood. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

Do you feel like you have to do it all on your own? Is it just too much? I get it... and I think we can all relate to that on some level. So why not try something different? We all can face personal struggles that are so powerful, we begin to feel as though they will never end. Stepping outside of our comfort zone when reaching out for help is the first and hardest step in the process. In my practice, I want to provide you that safe place to begin feeling comfortable in uncomfortable moments.

In helping children, teens, and their families, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 15+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I typically begin treatment with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Treatment incorporates both parent and child interventions. I routinely communicate with pediatricians, teachers and school personnel to assist in resolving the issues of children and teens, with parental permission.

I believe in working cooperatively with people to help them achieve balance, personal growth, and to reach their personal goals. Many people feel isolated and their anxiety or depression prevent them from being their best self. We all have the ability to learn, grow and reach our highest potential, and we cannot do it alone. Together we can identify strengths, work through challenges, and develop the skills to achieve a higher level of peace and contentment.

My role is to provide safety, security and honesty for you to use and explore what is most important in your life. One of my personal beliefs is that we all have the capacity to change and that we all are doing the best we can with the tools we have.

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.
