Given my specialization in health anxiety, I have particular interest in working with athletes of all ability levels. As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image.
I believe in evidenced-based practice, and I typically use a modality called Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT.) This treatment is based in the idea that our thoughts and our behaviors work together to impact how we feel. I also incorporate mindfulness training into my practice, as these exercises are known to help reduce anxiety and enhance performance. These are general frameworks, and we will tailor treatment to meet your needs.
