I take a personalized, holistic approach, integrating principles of sport psychology and self-leadership (Internal Family Systems).
Are you an athlete looking to excel in your sport while strengthening your mental skills and overall well-being? Whether you are a professional athlete, a dedicated amateur, or an aspiring talent, the journey to athletic excellence is exhilarating but can also present unique challenges. These challenges often extend beyond the physical aspects of your sport and impact your overall performance and quality of life. Performance anxiety, burnout, injury recovery, and the psychological toll of competition are just a few of the issues athletes commonly face. The demands of your sport can take a toll on your mental and emotional health.

It's not easy reaching out for professional help with relationship, family or emotional problems, but I hope you choose to take this important first step toward changing your life for the better. In my 30 years of practice, I have never felt a greater sense of hope and optimism about what talk therapy can realistically offer to reduce suffering and improve our personal and family lives. I can present you with a "user friendly" path into treatment that will ease your very understandable anxiety and skepticism. My goals for you as a client are learning, growth, empowerment and customer satisfaction.

Whatever brings you here, therapy can be a place to help you restore balance in your life and live life to the fullest. In therapy, we work together to bring about lasting change.

I want to offer you the support we all require, to consciously begin your journey to own your power to change your life.

My work focuses on positive relationships - with yourself and others - based on compassion and fearless self-awareness. Even when we are thinking, feeling or doing things that we don't like, there is something about it all that makes sense. Uncovering the mystery of that logic is important to therapy. This process helps us come home to ourselves and to the present moment. I specialize in individual and couple goal oriented therapy. I also have considerable expertise in parent-child relationships, behavior management and emotional intelligence in children (see more at www.PositiveParentingCT.com).

I would like to save you or your child from what I went through- Years of difficulty in getting past my past, with not much help from talking about it in therapy or taking pharmaceuticals. I didn't even know what was really going on, and that was terrible. But I have worked with thousands of people since 1993 and learned from them how to heal myself. If you are confused about the problem and unsure what to do about it, please call or text my office manager to book a free consultation. I can connect with you and help you to understand yourself. You will feel seen and heard, without our having to define you by your unchangeable past.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
