Sports Performance Therapists in Henrietta, NY

I primarily work with children and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, school avoidance, and sports performance challenges. I also provide parenting strategies and techniques through parent-only sessions. I have 2 years of experience working as a mental health counselor, but I have worked for almost a decade supporting children, adolescents and their caregivers as a sports coach, behavior technician, and nanny. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment for emotions and thoughts to be explored by children, adolescents and their parents and/or guardians.

Each individual brings their own goals to the therapeutic platform and I aim to capitalize on unique strengths to collaboratively problem solve challenges in order to obtain healing and wholeness. Tailoring my counseling modality to your needs is an approach I value and I commit to building a safe and trusting dynamic throughout the therapy process. Whether you're seeking support for life stressors, wanting processing opportunities and coping skills development, or experiencing significant life events, we can work towards your recovery goals together.

Therapy, at its core, is a conversation between two people about mental health. You don't have to be going through a life-altering event to get something out of it. Anybody can benefit from having someone to talk things through with and offer an outside perspective. As a therapist, it’s my goal to work with you to create a judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I work with clients ranging in age from teenage years to adulthood. I’m passionate about working with athletes, First Responders, neurodivergent folks and those in the LGBTQ+ community.

Are you (or your child) struggling with everyday life stressors? Has life felt more overwhelming than usual lately? Are you finding yourself struggling to be motivated? Are you just not feeling like yourself anymore? If you found yourself here, my guess is that you want to live more freely, more fully, and more in touch with who you really are.

Often in our lives we may encounter experiences which our current adaptive skills no longer serve us. Acceptance, compassion, and honesty with yourself can be challenging. Reaching out for support is often hard. It is during these times of discomfort that being met where you are, with what you have may be an opportunity to change the current course of your life.

I use a solution-focused, strength-based approach in a safe, supportive and confidential environment to help people move toward a more satisfying life. I truly look forward to helping you navigate thru whatever challenges you may be struggling with. I am currently accepting new clients so feel free to call or email.

It's time to create your best self!

In helping children, teens, and their families, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 15+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I typically begin treatment with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Treatment incorporates both parent and child interventions. I routinely communicate with pediatricians, teachers and school personnel to assist in resolving the issues of children and teens, with parental permission.

Much of our lives are series of automatic reactions and habits. In between being in these autopilot modes, we can have moments of awareness something isn’t quite right or we envision our life differently. In our work together, I will utilize our relationship to help expand your awareness and move toward acceptance and deciding on an appropriate action. My role is to provide safety, security and honesty for you to use and explore what is most important in your life. One of my personal beliefs is that we all have the capacity to change and that we all are doing the best we can with the tools we have.

Have you been noticing your child is becoming overly anxious or depressed? Do you notice that your child is having trouble with emotional regulation and is constantly blowing up? This can be very difficult, and it’s common for children and adolescents. Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid all conflicts in relationships. This can lead to resentment, which can cause more frequent fighting and lead to long-term problems.

My therapeutic style is based on the belief that good rapport is essential to accomplish our therapeutic goals. While I think in terms of family of origin issues, I intervene through many diverse approaches depending on the needs of the person.These approaches include thoughts, bodily sensations, feelings, and the experiences of childhood. I follow the lead of whom I am working with and tailor my psychotherapeutic work to fit where they are at in their psychological development. A primary focus is to help one become at ease with oneself.

I have years of experience working with children, teens and adults in a variety of settings. I integrate several different approaches to each therapeutic connection to meet individual needs. I have experience with clients ranging from eating disorders, anxiety, depression, headaches, relationship conflicts, ADHD and more. I welcome talking about what I provide and develop plans to reduce symptoms.
