Licensed Mental Health Counselor | Doctorate in Sport & Performance Psychology | Serving NY, CT, FL, TX
If This Sounds Familiar, You're in the Right Place
You’re capable and prepared, but in high-pressure moments, stress and overthinking can block your natural performance.
You’ve been feeling off for some time — whether that shows up as lingering sadness, constant stress, or moving through your days without feeling fully present.
You used to enjoy this. Now it feels heavy and draining. What once energized you no longer brings the same sense of motivation or joy.
You may have tried therapy before, but it didn’t quite connect. The support was there, yet something was missing — you didn’t feel fully understood or see the progress you hoped for.
You’re not broken. You’re facing real challenges, and there are effective tools that can help. With understanding, support, and skilled guidance, meaningful change is possible.
Why People Choose Work With US
We Meet You Where You Are
Whether you’re an athlete navigating performance anxiety, a parent managing family stress, a couple working to reconnect, or someone feeling overwhelmed by life, my approach is tailored to what you actually need.
With training in both clinical mental health counseling and performance psychology, I support individuals facing the unique pressures of performance as well as the everyday challenges we all experience — anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and chronic stress.
I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Your situation is personal, and the work we do together is thoughtfully shaped around your goals, strengths, and needs.
You Get Tools You Can Actually Use
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) because they work. These aren’t abstract concepts or vague conversations — they’re practical, evidence-based strategies you can start using right away.
You’ll learn how to manage anxiety before it spirals, recognize and shift the thought patterns that fuel depression, and regulate intense emotions when life feels overwhelming. We’ll also work on improving communication, strengthening relationships, and building routines that support your mental health rather than drain it.
This is skills-based therapy. You gain real tools for real life — strategies that help you feel more grounded, capable, and in control.
Progress You Can See
Therapy isn’t endless talking without direction. We set clear, meaningful goals together based on what you want to change — better sleep, less anxiety, stronger relationships, greater confidence, and more enjoyment in daily life.
We track what’s improving and adjust when something isn’t working, so you always know where you stand. Most clients begin to notice real, lasting changes within the first few months, and those gains continue to build over time.
This Approach Works Best For
Couples Working
on Their Relationship
Communication has broken down. The same conflicts keep happening. You feel disconnected or stuck. You want to rebuild what you had or create something better, but you need help navigating the hard conversations and learning new patterns together.
Individuals Facing
Anxiety or Depression
Maybe it's constant worry that won't turn off. Maybe it's feeling heavy and unmotivated even when there's no clear reason. Maybe it's both. You're tired of feeling this way and ready to learn how to manage it. You need practical strategies and support from someone who takes your experience seriously.
Families
Navigating Challenges
Family dynamics feel tense. Parent-teen conflicts. Sibling issues. Stress affecting everyone. You need support improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and helping family members understand each other better.
Anyone
Ready for Change
You're going through a life transition. Dealing with stress that won't quit. Struggling with something you can't quite name. You're motivated to feel better, open to learning new approaches, and ready to do the work. That's all you need to start.

Here's How We Work Together
Start With a Free Conversation
We begin with a 15-20 minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment. Just a chance for you to share what's going on and for me to explain how I work. You'll get a feel for my approach, and I'll get a sense of whether I can help. If it doesn't feel like the right fit, that's completely fine.
Build Your Personalized Plan
Your first full session is where we dig into what's really happening. I want to understand your specific challenges, what you've tried before, what's working and what isn't. We collaborate on goals that matter to you. Not generic therapy goals, but the actual outcomes you're after. By the end of this session, you'll have a clear treatment plan.
Learn Practical Skills That Work
We meet weekly or bi-weekly depending on what makes sense for you. Each session combines evidence-based techniques with the deeper work of understanding why certain patterns exist. You'll learn strategies for high-pressure moments, ways to manage anxiety before it takes over, and how to build sustainable confidence. This isn't just talking. We're actively building your mental toolkit.
Track Real Progress
You'll notice the changes. Performing more consistently under pressure. Sleeping better before big events. Actually enjoying what you do again. Feeling more in control of your thoughts and emotions. We check in regularly on what's improving and adjust the approach when needed. You always know where you stand.
We Work With Your Insurance
I'm an in-network provider with most major insurance plans, which means you pay only your copay. I handle the billing paperwork so you can focus on the work. Not sure about your coverage? I'll verify it during your free consultation. No surprises.

Questions People Ask Before Starting
-
Many people have had therapy experiences that felt unhelpful—too much talking without direction, techniques that didn't fit their situation, or just not feeling understood. I use evidence-based approaches that are practical and goal-oriented. We set clear objectives, build specific skills, and track what's working. If something isn't helping, we adjust. You're not stuck in endless sessions without progress.
-
Many clients notice shifts within the first 6-8 sessions. Things like reduced anxiety, better sleep, improved mood, clearer communication, or more confidence. Some issues require longer-term work, but we check in regularly so you always know where you stand. Therapy isn't open-ended guessing.
-
Yes. I provide telehealth services for clients in New York, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person for most people, and they offer flexibility for busy schedules or when in-person isn't convenient.
-
That's exactly what the free consultation is for. We'll talk about what you're experiencing, and I'll recommend the approach that makes the most sense. You're not expected to diagnose yourself or know the right treatment path. That's my job.
-
The free consultation gives you a chance to get a feel for how I work and whether my approach resonates with you. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable and understood. If we're not the right match, I can help you find someone who is.
-
Absolutely. While I work with many athletes and high performers, I also support individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. The performance psychology training gives me additional tools for anyone facing pressure or challenges, but you don't need to be competitive or achievement-oriented to benefit from working together.
Ready to Make This Change?
Most clients tell me they feel relief just from the first conversation. You don't have to keep carrying this alone. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, performance pressure, or you just want better tools for managing life, there's a clear path forward.
