Sports Performance Therapists in Clifton Park, NY

Do you feel depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of which direction to take your relationships, your job, or your life? Are these feelings holding you back from living the life you truly want? I love joining with my clients to explore these barriers and working to overcome them to create peace, health and happiness. Through skill building and meaningful conversation, you can move forward. In my practice, counseling can include humor; both laughter and tears are important parts of healing and growing. While I certainly respect that serious matters are discussed in therapy, we can usually find ways to enjoy our progress.

Trying to get better rarely works. We encourage you to resolve to Get Better! Thus we seek highly motivated clients, as this is often the secret to extraordinary results. We optimize this motivation, with a 'Focus-Forward' treatment model that is combined with Home & Office Neurofeedback training. It's not for everyone, but it is for those seeking long-term, sustained change in their emotional or psychological state of mind. Dysregulated children, anxious teens, or struggling adults find the transformative power of Neurofeedback to be a real solution. The same is true for athletes & peak performers. Call for a free consult.

While some new clients seek Neurofeedback as the first treatment option for their struggles, most clients come because typical treatments have failed. They are desperate for a real, sustained change! Whether it's the child on too many meds with no real gains, the student still anxious after practicing their cognitive restructuring for years, or the therapy-exhausted, still struggling adult...most have tried a bit of everything but found little success. Upon doing their research, they discover that Neurofeedback offers the chance to truly change how the brain functions by teaching the regulation of brainwaves without side effects.

Treatment is a fluid process that will respectfully move at each individual pace.

As your therapist I will see you as the whole and dynamic person you are. I will help you discover which pieces of your story are authentically your own and which pieces no longer (or never) served you. This journey is one that I am excited to embark upon with you while respecting the fact that you are indeed the expert on your narrative. I will be here for you to discover where the authenticity within your narrative may have been lost, perhaps even without your knowledge. Your needs and goals will be of primary importance as we work together to find solutions for those aspects of your narrative that are causing you distress.

We all have a human desire to feel heard, understood and supported, even more so when life gets hard. But making the decision to start therapy can be challenging, so I am happy you are here. Whether you are seeking therapy due to a new diagnosis, an unexpected illness or a divorce, grief, loss of a job or experiencing burnout from work or parenting, I am here to help. Therapy is a safe place to share your story and process what it is that is having an impact on you, as well as develop skills and strategies so that you can work to achieve symptom relief.

Feelings can be hard to sort through on your own and also confusing. Having a special therapeutic relationship to address, identify and process unresolved emotions, unpleasant memories, intrusive thoughts and chronic feelings of hopelessness can make a huge difference in ones' life. A specialized plan tailored to meet your own needs and goals is first and foremost.

I have 15 years of expertise working with adults to address depression, anxiety, relational issues, trauma, healing from abuse, perfectionist/people pleasing, grief, body image, and disordered eating. Additionally, I specialize in supporting individuals through the perinatal stage of life, addressing mental health related to infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and pregnancy/postpartum life adjustments. As a certified and licensed perinatal mental health therapist, I hope to hold space for your experience and support your healing.

After you take your first step to begin therapy, I will meet you where you are at this point in your journey. Whether you need a soft, non-judgmental space to find your footing or to gently and compassionately be held accountable for your behavior modification, I am here to help you along your journey. Together, through collaboration, we will develop a tailored, individual therapeutic plan to reach your goals.

My experience working in the mental health system for over 10 years has shown me the impact of oppressive systems on the well-being of individuals. This is why I believe as a therapist it is my duty to view all client struggles through systems theory (the impact of external systems on an individual versus the independent “deficiencies” of one person). Your struggle may be tied to race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodivergence, etc. Maybe you’re having a hard time setting boundaries, focusing on your own needs, forming healthy relationships, breaking intergenerational patterns, or not reaching your goals.

For over 35 years,I have been helping adolescents ,adults and families. I realize that knowing you need help is not the same as knowing what kind of help you need.My role is to facilitate that process with you; to provide the guidance, support and collaboration that will help us to identify how you can most effectively reach your personal goals and improve your quality of life.As we move through that process, you can rely on me to be honest, forthright and compassionate; to work with you, side by side, as you face the challenges ahead.

The decision to begin therapy can be challenging and can follow attempts to manage difficult life circumstances independently. I believe that healing begins when there is a safe, non judgmental space to grow a therapeutic relationship. I spent the early part of my career working extensively with adolescents and families which allowed me the opportunity to help them work through their trauma as they struggled with grief and loss, anxiety, self-injury, depression and PTSD. Additionally, I spent almost 7 years in an outpatient clinic as an Administrator, also providing clinical counseling to children, adults and families.
