I work with individuals who are carrying a great deal internally, even if others may not realize it. I have a special focus on working with emerging adults and student-athletes navigating identity shifts, burnout, and the transition into adulthood. This often includes feeling uncertain about who you are outside of achievement, sport, academics, or external expectations, especially when the structures that once defined you begin to change or fall away.
As a former Division I collegiate athlete, I understand the intensity of performance-driven environments and how deeply they can shape identity, self-worth, and emotional experience.
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely understood while also being carefully challenged in ways that support meaningful growth. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs you’ve internalized, the roles you’ve taken on to survive or succeed, and the parts of yourself that have been pushed aside in the process.
My work is grounded in relational and psychodynamic approaches and informed by trauma theory and a deep belief in the healing power of connection. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about helping you develop a more kind and honest relationship with yourself. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out by email to schedule a consultation call.
