Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable. I create a warm, respectful space where you can explore present concerns and experiences rooted in the past. I specialize in working with athletes and former athletes navigating performance pressure, injury, burnout, perfectionism, identity, and transitions away from competition. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, workplace stress, grief, family conflict, and major life transitions. Together, we will focus on your unique experiences, needs, and goals.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I help clients understand the deeper patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Our work can help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen boundaries, navigate challenges more effectively, and create meaningful, lasting change both within and beyond athletics.
As a former Division I athlete with specialized training in sports social work, I understand how deeply performance and competition can shape your identity. I earned my MSW from NYU and bring extensive experience in private practice, inpatient psychiatry, addiction, and clinical leadership. I welcome the opportunity to connect and learn more about you.
