Approach and Specialties

Performance Psychotherapy is an integrative therapeutic approach that explores the connection between emotional well-being, mental skills, and performance. It supports individuals such as athletes, coaches, performers, and high achievers in understanding how thoughts, emotions, and past experiences influence their performance and overall functioning. This process may include developing psychological skills, increasing self-awareness, and addressing factors such as anxiety, stress, perfectionism, or life transitions that impact performance.

Brainspotting (BSP) is a brain-body-based therapeutic approach developed by Dr. David Grand. It’s grounded in the idea that where you focus your gaze can be connected to deeper areas of the brain and body where emotional experiences are stored. By gently identifying and attending to these points, Brainspotting supports awareness and processing of experiences that may be difficult to reach through words alone.

This approach integrates mindfulness, attunement, and nervous system regulation. Many people find that it complements talk therapy and can deepen insight into patterns that influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Brainspotting can be supportive for those navigating:

    •    The effects of trauma or distressing experiences

    •    Anxiety, stress, or chronic tension

    •    Burnout or low motivation

    •    Grief and loss

    •    Relationship or attachment challenges

    •    Performance pressure, perfectionism, or creative blocks

Each person’s experience with Brainspotting is unique. The process is guided by your pace and readiness, offering space for greater awareness and connection between mind and body.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-informed approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that the way we think about situations can influence how we feel and respond. Through CBT, clients are supported in identifying unhelpful thought patterns, developing alternative perspectives, and experimenting with new behaviors that align with their goals and values.

In therapy, CBT may involve exploring patterns of thinking that contribute to distress, learning practical skills for emotional regulation, and building strategies for coping with everyday challenges. The process is collaborative and tailored to each individual’s needs and pace.

CBT can be supportive for individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, or self-critical thoughts. It emphasizes self-awareness and skill-building, helping clients better understand their inner experiences and develop tools that support overall well-being.

As a clinician with advanced training as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), my work centers on supporting individuals in understanding and navigating the ways ADHD can impact daily life, relationships, and self-concept. This approach integrates psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and practical strategies to help clients explore attention patterns, emotional regulation, motivation, and executive functioning within the context of their lived experience.

Working with an ADHD-informed therapist can provide space to identify strengths, develop supportive structures, and increase self-understanding. This process honors the unique ways ADHD shows up for each person and fosters greater compassion, clarity, and balance across personal and professional domains.
