The idea of being sound of mind and sound of body helped me start to see the pieces of the puzzle, and, reflecting on my own athletic career that I eventually unpacked and processed allowed me to see the bigger picture of wellness. I recognized that physiology and psychology go hand in hand, influencing my philosophy on what truly comprises wellness. Thus, I gravitated towards a comprehensive approach to health, an approach to psychology, perhaps motivated by the field of kinesiology, one that considers the human form as a whole; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, together.
I believe every child, teen, and individual can turn their negatives to positives and grow from their hurdles. Through effective clinical practices, we can learn how to navigate through the setbacks and pain. Life happens for us, not to us. I believe how we manage what we go through turns us into the best versions of ourselves.
Each individual’s and family’s story are unique. We all have a narrative and a path we are walking on. By offering individual and family sessions, I am interested in helping and working with all walks of life on their journey. I believe in others and their stories; and hope to help each individual guide, heal, and grow to reach their fullest potential.
