I provide evidence brain-based EMDR & Brainspotting to support Athlete mental health.

Sports problems such as low confidence, anxiety, the slumps or the yips are all treatable!

My treatment approach also helps to “install” positive programming for future tasks & high stake events.

As a therapist/teacher I ask that my clients be willing to grow. Growth can look many ways, but always involves practice. The people who take what they learn in sesh, practice it with insight, vulnerality, openness, and some diligence, they get the brilliance, sometimes very trying, and grace of somatic and relational transformation.

People often think therapy is a place to vent; it definitely CAN be that - validation is important. Therapy is also a place where you are challenged to see things differently, face your fears and take steps toward creating the life you deserve. It can be scary, which is why having a therapist is so helpful. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I will point out the barriers in your way (even the ones you might be accidentally putting there yourself), so you can overcome them. Therapy can be long-term, but it doesn't have to be. Part of my job is to help you become your own therapist, so you don't need me as much (or at all!)

Do you have deep insight into your struggles, yet still find yourself stuck in the same painful patterns? As a licensed psychologist, I take great pride in helping clients break free from these cycles—especially when insight alone isn't enough. My specialty is treating attachment issues, suppressed anger, low self-esteem, depression, and recurring relationship concerns that often lead to shame, anger, and fear. I draw from Jungian, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches, integrating Christian faith and Evidence-Based Practice as the foundation of my work.
