This isn't like other program. I's personalized coaching with a therapist who specializes in sustainable behavior change. We start with a consultation to ensure we're a good fit before you invest a penny.

That's exactly what we'll work on together. I'll help you build trust in yourself through small successes, without expecting perfection. We're not relying on willpower or motivation. We're creating sustainable systems that work even when life gets complicated.

Behavioral change takes time. Research shows it takes the average person about 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic. With that in mind, I recommend working with a coach for a minimum of 3 months to ensure you’re progressing toward your goals effectively, building confidence in the gym, and beginning to see results.

Every person is different. Some clients find 3 months gives them the foundation they need, while many choose to continue longer for ongoing accountability, refining their routines, or setting new goals once initial milestones are reached. Coaching is designed to support you at your pace, whether you’re looking for a jumpstart or a sustainable, long-term lifestyle change.

Mental health care isn’t only about what happens in a therapist’s office. It can also be about how we move our bodies. Exercise and movement impact the brain in powerful ways: reducing stress, improving mood, boosting energy, and even helping regulate sleep. For many people, moving their body is a way to reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and release emotions they may not have words for.

Of course, not everyone feels comfortable walking into a gym or following a rigid fitness plan. For some, that setting can bring up anxiety, self-doubt, or even past negative experiences. Exploring different forms of movement, whether that’s strength training, walking, yoga, or something else entirely, can help people discover what feels safe and supportive.

Movement isn’t just about physical health; it can be a tool for healing, resilience, and self-discovery. When combined with a compassionate and individualized approach, it can support long-term mental and emotional well-being.

Great question! You can accomplish a lot in just three days. Resistance training helps build a strong foundation of strength and confidence, while still leaving space for recovery and balance. Plus, I’m a firm believer that you do not need to spend hours a day in the gym to get the results you want.

I encourage folks to explore other forms of movement throughout the week, as well. Whether that’s running, yoga, Pilates, boxing, hiking, or anything else that sparks joy. Mixing it up not only keeps your routine fun and interesting, but it also supports long-term consistency. Who knows, you might even discover your next favorite activity!

It’s important to note that I am NOT an RD and do not provide individualized nutrition plans.

With that said, there are many useful and effective tools that can support you in reaching your goals through nutrition. Everyone’s relationship with food is unique and often layered with personal history, culture, and emotions. That’s why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

In coaching, we may explore strategies like:

• Learning how to track macronutrients (if it feels supportive, not restrictive)

• Focusing on adding more nourishing foods, instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad”

• Finding simple, realistic swaps that let you enjoy your favorite snacks in a way that supports your health goals

Above all, my goal is to help you build a sustainable, balanced relationship with food—one that fuels your body, supports your energy, and still allows joy and flexibility.

Unfortunatly, no. While there are many shared elements between the two, therapy and fitness/wellness coaching are separate services. Here’s why:

• Therapy: As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my therapeutic work is centered on your mental and emotional well-being. While I use a holistic approach—acknowledging how movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress impact mental health—our focus will remain on processing emotions, addressing challenges, and supporting psychological growth. (Please note: I can only provide therapy to clients located in Massachusetts and Florida. Please visit my Psychology Today profile for more information)

• Fitness & Behavioral Coaching: Coaching is not therapy. In this space, we’ll explore your relationship with movement, build strength and confidence, and create a sustainable wellness routine. We’ll also examine habits, motivation, and behaviors that may be getting in the way of your goals. This service is open to clients anywhere.

Because it’s important to keep these roles distinct and ethical, I cannot provide both therapy and coaching to the same person at the same time. However, I’m happy to provide coaching clients with referrals and resources for mental health support when needed.

We'll move slowly and respect your nervous system's need for safety. Change doesn't have to be disruptive when it's done thoughtfully.
