How I can help

A private, confidential space to explore what's going on beneath the surface and work toward the changes you want. We start with your story and your goals, then build a plan that fits your life rather than asking your life to fit the plan.

Areas of focus often include

• Anxiety, worry, and panic
• Depression and low motivation
• Life transitions and identity
• Stress, burnout, and perfectionism
• Body image and disordered eating
• Addiction and recovery support
• Chronic illness and adjustment
• Self-esteem and negative core beliefs

For teens

Teens often open up more easily from their own space, and online sessions make that possible. I keep parents in the loop about progress and safety while protecting the trust that makes therapy work for a teenager.

Children don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling, but they can show us through play, art, and creativity. Our sessions run on Hopscotch, a HIPAA-compliant platform built specifically for child therapy. While we're on video together, your child and I share a screen full of therapist-designed games, drawing and building tools, interactive stories, and calm-down activities. We play side by side in real time, each on our own device, so it feels like sitting at the same table.

Through play and guided conversation, children learn to

• Name and express emotions in healthy ways
• Build confidence and resilience
• Cope with anxiety and frustration
• Strengthen problem-solving skills
• Navigate school, sports, and friendships
• Settle their bodies when feelings get big

How it works for parents

We begin with a 25-minute parent consultation so I can hear your concerns and history. From there, your child and I meet regularly online, and 25-minute parent check-ins are available whenever you want to talk through themes, progress, and ways to support what we're practicing at home. All your child needs is a quiet spot and a tablet or computer with a camera. Hopscotch doesn't run on phones, so a laptop or iPad works best.

My work with athletes is informed by both clinical training and lived experience. I spent over a decade as a competitive figure skater, competing nationally and internationally as a member of the national team, and I was a junior national champion. I understand the culture, the expectations, and the unspoken pressures, and I recognize the emotional cost of early specialization, constant evaluation, and carrying adult-level responsibility at a young age.

That shared understanding often lets athletes feel seen quickly and talk openly about things they've struggled to put into words anywhere else. This work focuses on the whole athlete, not just the performance.

Common reasons athletes reach out

• Performance anxiety and pressure
• Identity inside and outside of sport
• Body image and fueling struggles
• Injury, rehab, and the fear of returning
• Burnout and loss of enjoyment
• Transitions within or out of sport
• Balancing sport with school and relationships
• Team, coach, or family dynamics

Because sessions are online, we can usually find a time that fits around training and travel, including evenings and weekends.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories and experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional charge. Rather than only talking through difficult events, EMDR helps your brain do what it naturally wants to do: reprocess what happened and file it away as something that is over.

EMDR adapts well to video sessions. We prepare carefully, build grounding skills first, and move at a pace that feels safe to you.

EMDR may help with

• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and panic
• Childhood and adverse experiences
• Grief and loss
• Low self-esteem and negative beliefs
• Stress and burnout
• Phobias and fears
• Performance anxiety
