You work hard...like really hard. You're the one who is on the court and in the gym or in the office or the library long after everyone else. It's a lot of pressure that you put on yourself, and you've had great success. But still, you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, unsatisfied, and worn out. Whether it’s your health, your work, your eating habits, your relationships, or your feelings about yourself; life isn’t always smooth or easy. Maybe you've tried to "fix" it yourself, but I'm glad you're reaching out and I'm here to help. We can work together to help you to get through your challenges and achieve your goals.
I am a problem-focused, action-oriented psychologist who specializes in working with athletes and high performers; i.e., self described "perfectionists." Whether it's anxiety, focus, injury/illness, sleep, or body image, I want to help clients maximize their performance by introducing tools to help calm the noisy mind and achieve goals that serve them best!
I know that you might feel "stuck" right now. Perhaps it is anxiety, depression, body image, sleep, or your physical health that has you feeling frustrated and stressed. We are going to work as a team to help you feel better! During our initial meetings, I will get to know more about you. We will set goals and make a plan. I look forward to meeting you!

I treat athletes and professionals who struggle with anxiety, sadness, sleep, food and body, and performance issues. The first few sessions will be a deep dive into the ways that you think about yourself and the world around you, as well as the ways you act on those thoughts.

"
The therapies that I use are evidence-based, meaning that scientific research has proven them effective. We are going to do a lot of talking about your thought patterns and how those thoughts influence your feelings and your behaviors. We are also going to assess whether your thoughts are helping you succeed or getting in your way, and whether you need to be listening to those thoughts at all.
