I am a sport and counseling psychologist who specializes in work with athletes at all levels and disciplines. Clients come to me for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, injury recovery, low confidence, burnout, self-criticism/perfectionism, stress associated with balancing multiple roles in life, and mental blocks. I also provide psychological skills training in motivation, goal setting, focus, confidence, and emotion regulation. Other specialties include ADHD, complex health concerns/health psychology, and work with LGBTQ+ communities.
I am licensed as both a mental health clinician and performance consultant, listed on the United States Olympic and Paralympic Mental Health Registry, and have PSYPACT interjurisdictional approval to practice in 40 states in the US.
My mission is to enable athletes to show up as the best version of themselves, on and off the course. I approach my work with clients in a holistic manner, recognizing that daily life, health, and athletic performance are often intertwined.

I approach my work with a feminist and multicultural lens, which means I create space in sessions to process how cultural identities affect your experiences and concerns. Many of my interventions come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I use analogies, skills, and evidence-based strategies that can help you show up in the ways that are most important and meaningful to you.
