As a sport psychologist and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant I bring nearly 20 years of experience helping athletes overcome mental health challenges and optimize their performance. At the core of my approach to therapy is a deep commitment to meeting each client where they are—with warmth, authenticity, and humor to make the process feel both engaging and accessible. Genuine connection is the foundation for change, and my interpersonal focus allows me to build strong therapeutic relationships that foster trust and collaboration, essential elements in helping athletes and performers reach their full potential.
Using a range of proven techniques including hypnotherapy, I help people build the mindset they need to excel, achieve their goals, and live the fulfilling lives they desire. Whether you're striving to perform at your best, navigate the pressures of competition, or find balance in your life, I am here to guide and support you.
I look forward to building a relationship with you that will provide a safe space in which you can discover, grow, and thrive! Reach out to schedule an intake or a 15-minute consultation to meet me and ensure we are a good fit!

I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. I work with clients who may be struggling to feel like they are living the life they want; who know they can perform better or deserve more confidence, but don't know the path to take to excel. My clients will gain skills for overcoming obstacles and be more empowered in their lives.
