In our first session together, here's what you can expect

🌟 Welcome! Your Therapy Portal Hi! I’m a structured, direct therapist. This approach works best for clients who want clear expectations, accountability, and consistent progress. It may not be right for everyone — and that’s okay! ☑ 1. Confirm Your Appointment Log in to the portal immediately. Check your camera & audio. Your appointment is not confirmed until: • All intake forms & assessments are fully completed, and • I have messaged you back. Take your time — this ensures your first session is focused and productive. ☑ 2. Communication You will receive one email alerting you to portal info. After that, all communication is via the HIPAA-secure portal. Check the portal weekly, complete forms, and review activities — this is your responsibility. ☑ 3. Intake Forms & Fit Fill out all assessments honestly and thoroughly. Share previous diagnoses, therapy history, what worked, what didn’t, and what would help most now. Answer assessments in relation to your main concerns. • Example: If work stress is your issue, note how anxious or depressed it makes you at your worst. Minimal or vague answers may: • Hide how the problem affects you • Indicate you’re minimizing feelings • Suggest a different type of support may be needed The goal: get you the right help quickly and make your first session productive. Incomplete or vague forms = automatic referral. ☑ 4. Weekly Commitment & Effort Therapy requires active participation inside and outside sessions. Complete assigned assessments and activities each week. Consistent effort ensures progress. ☑ 5. Safety & Crisis Thoughts of self-harm? Complete the Safety Form in the portal. Immediate danger or crisis? Go to the ER or call 911. ☑ 6. Cancellations & No-Shows 48-hour notice required for cancellations. Late or missed sessions = $100 fee. Any no-show (please have common courtesy to let me know). If proactive engagement is not happening, we will brainstorm and fix obstacles, or I can refer you to a different type of therapist. ☑ 7. Portal & HIPAA All official communication happens securely in the portal. Messages do not forward to email — checking the portal is your responsibility. ☑ 8. Billing & Tech Support Contact Grow support for insurance, billing, or technical issues. ☑ Acknowledgment I have read, understand, and agree to these policies. I understand that failing to follow them may result in rescheduling, loss of recurring appointments, referral, or discontinuation of care.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe therapy is most effective when it speaks your language. As a former professional golfer, I specialize in 'Mental Architecture'—using metaphors from sports, arts, or your own unique passions to make complex psychological concepts feel natural and intuitive. The Methodology: I utilize a high-accountability blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Strategy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy to bypass negative loops and unlock subconscious potential. The 4-Session Breakthrough: We track everything. If we don’t record our progress, we won’t know when we’ve hit the target. This structure ensures we aren't just talking, but actively moving toward your 'upward cycle' of daily living. We map out your strategic roadmap immediately, defining clear metrics for success. Our Partnership: I describe my style as a 'Strategic Coach with Heart.' I am structured and direct because I value your time and your potential. High-level transformation requires a shift from passive listening to active 'adulting'—taking radical responsibility for your growth. I provide the "Clinical Homework" and the framework; you provide the execution. Together, we ensure this isn't just another 'failed attempt' at therapy, but the moment you finally become the star of your own life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Who I Serve: Clinical Performance Strategist The "Mental Game" Specialist for High-Stakes Performers Traditional therapy often focuses on "venting"—my practice focuses on breakthroughs. As a former LPGA professional with an M.S. in Sport Psychology and an M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy, I don't just offer a listening ear; I offer a Strategic Game Plan. I am best positioned to serve high-stakes professionals—including pilots, attorneys, tech executives, and athletes—who are ready to treat their mental health as a performance metric. Whether you are navigating neurodivergent (ADHD) workflows, performance anxiety, or corporate burnout, we approach your goals with clinical precision. My Approach: Structure Over "Vibes" If you are looking for a passive experience, I may not be the right fit. If you are looking for a roadmap to your "finish line," we start in Session One. The Methodology: I utilize a high-accountability blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Strategy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy to bypass negative loops and unlock subconscious potential. The 4-Session Breakthrough: We move fast. We map out your strategic roadmap immediately, defining clear metrics for success so you know exactly how far you’ve come. The Partnership: High-level transformation requires active participation. I provide the "Clinical Homework" and the framework; you provide the execution. I recommend a "10/10 Ritual" (10 minutes of prep before our session and 10 minutes of decompression after) to ensure you get the maximum ROI from our time together. Why Professionals Choose This Practice: I understand the unique pressures of high-level competition and the weight of "carrying the room." My goal isn't just to help you cope—it’s to help you optimize. Are you ready to stop ruminating and start performing?
