You may find yourself trying to reclaim a sense of mental strength or balance — especially when life, school, work, or your sport feels heavier than usual. Lately, you might be experiencing more worry, sadness, overthinking, or feeling like you’re in a slump. You may be looking for a place where you can breathe, slow down, and simply be — without pressure, judgment, or having to perform.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with specialized training in Sports Social Work. I use evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and positive psychology to help you build practical skills, increase insight, and take actionable steps that support your well-being in life and in sports.
Seeking support doesn’t mean adding pressure — it often creates more room to breathe. Many clients feel more balanced, less overwhelmed, and more understood, with improvements that reach all aspects of their life. I invite you to take that first step. Try it out and see how it feels.
