Hi, I'm Dr. Jenny!
I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified mental performance consultant with a doctorate degree in sport and performance psychology. I work with equestrians of all ages and disciplines to improve their psychological skills and overall performance. Whether it's fine-tuning mental skills or kicking competition anxiety to the curb - I can help! Check out my blog for mental health advice, resources, skills, and all things equine industry!

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a supportive, confidential space to explore anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the pressures that come with high expectations — both in and out of ring for equestrians. My approach is trauma-informed and process-oriented, meaning we work not only on challenges you face, but also on understanding the patterns, emotions, and experiences shaping how you respond to them. Together, we focus on building insight, emotional resilience, and practical tools that support lasting change and a more grounded sense of self. Format: 50-minute virtual or in-person sessions.
Mental Skills Coaching
Mental skills coaching is geared towards equestrian athletes to enhance confidence, focus, and emotional regulation under pressure. Grounded in sport and performance psychology, sessions focus on developing skills such as managing performance anxiety, improving concentration, rebuilding confidence after setbacks, and performing consistently in high-stress environments. Coaching is goal-oriented and collaborative, designed to help you translate mental preparation into confident performance. Format: 50-minute virtual or in-person sessions.
Group Workshops
I offer specialized workshops for equestrians navigating the unique mental and emotional demands of riding in a group format. Equestrians experience a multitude of forces that can impact their performance. Whether it is high personal expectations, performance pressure from a team environment, or performing in a championship environment, I can help!
Common workshop topics include:
- Managing performance anxiety
- Rebuilding confidence after falls or injuries
- How to develop a growth mindset
- Enhancing concentration and focus
- Communication and barn culture
Workshops can be customized for any program, including lesson programs, IEA or intercollegiate teams, junior and amateur competitors, or professionals. All are available virtually or in person locally in Massachusetts or Florida.
For Clinicians & Students
I offer professional mentorship and consultation for graduate students and clinicians seeking guidance in building meaningful and sustainable careers in mental health and performance psychology. Services include clinical career counseling for students and early-career professionals, consultation for licensed clinicians seeking support with complex cases or professional development, and mentorship for individuals pursuing or interested in the Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) pathway through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. These sessions provide a collaborative space to explore career direction, develop clinical identity, navigate licensure or certification pathways, and integrate mental health and performance psychology practice.
