You're driven, capable, and used to pushing through and but lately something feels off. Anxiety before big moments. Second-guessing yourself when it counts. Questioning who you are outside the role everyone expects you to play. I work with teens and young adults. Athletes and high achievers who are struggling in ways that aren't always visible. We untangle self-worth from results, build confidence that holds under pressure, and figure out who you are beyond what you achieve. Currently accepting new clients in Duluth and virtually across Minnesota.

I specialize in performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and identity; for athletes and high achievers who are tired of getting in their own way. Using IFS, brain-based, and solution-focused approaches, we get to the root of what's driving the struggle, not just the surface symptoms. Real tools. Real conversations. Lasting change.

You don't have to keep white-knuckling it alone. Whether you're an athlete hitting a mental ceiling or a high achiever who's quietly exhausted, you deserve support that actually gets it. This work is hard and it's also how things finally change. If any of this sounds familiar, reaching out is the first step.

Performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, identity, and confidence are my core focus areas. Treatment typically involves identifying the root patterns driving the struggle, building somatic awareness and self-trust, and developing tools that work under real pressure. Most clients leave feeling more grounded in who they are, more resilient after setbacks, and more consistent when it counts.
