Competition should bring out the best in you, but without the right physical & mental preparation-it can bring out the worst. Any of the following sound familiar? You're in top physical shape, but unprepared mentally. You psyche yourself out + lose confidence before the competition. When things get tough, you lose focus + power. You have a love-hate relationship with your sport. Right now, it's more hate. You're injured + feeling low + disillusioned with your sport. You tick all the boxes: sleeping right, eating right, training right. But you haven't tackled the sport psychology piece yet.

My areas of expertise are stress/anxiety management, postoperative/postsurgical depression and anxiety, athlete mental health, life transitions (e.g. perimenopause), and health and wellness. I can help you learn ways to lower your stress levels, recover quicker from injury or surgery, attain balance in your life, or cope with the challenges of major life transitions. I received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (Syracuse Univ) and a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences (USF Coll Medicine). Besides clinical work, I have taught and published research on stress and health. My background gives me a unique perspective of the mind-body connection.

I welcome and work with clients who struggle with body image (dysmorphia), committing to physical fitness (at any level), depression, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I will provide support and coaching around developing, and accomplishing lifestyle goals related to positive mental and physical health outcomes. If you would like to work with a psychotherapist and certified personal trainer for the best outcomes and results for a new lifestyle please contact me.

NOTE: the only insurances I accept are the student insurances for Brown University and Tufts University students. I help students, artists, athletes, and other high-level performers bring out the best in themselves and each other. I specialize in healing trauma, anxiety, creative and performance blocks, existential and relationship issues, and the impacts of social forces on mental health. I tend to fit well with patients who are smart, creative, funny, introspective, curious, and ready for change.

I am driven by directness and efficiency, and draw upon my humor, warmth, and ability to motivate. My approach is unencumbered by therapeutic conventions of insurance approval, clinical setting, and therapy tropes. I offer a novel approach to therapy for OCD, phobias, ADHD, anxiety, autism functioning concerns, and weight management. We will meet in a location of your choice (home, office, etc) or remotely. I do not accept insurance, and only you will determine the visit frequency. Please inquire if you wish to utilize my expertise as a Certified Personal Trainer, and/or Registered Yoga Teacher (200-hr) to augment therapy.

My mission is to provide affirming, safe, and inclusive treatment where individuals can explore their life experiences utilizing personal strengths to build on internal resources and processing beliefs, assumption and values that may be limiting behavioral potential.

Areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, life transitions, sport psychology specifically athletes transitioning out of athletics (for various reasons), as well as cultural and racial challenges within the BIPOC population.

Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.
