Life is full of challenges! You don't have to navigate them on your own. From understanding your emotions and self-limiting beliefs to finding purpose and reaching your full potential, I firmly believe that YOU have inherent value and also have the capacity to grow and improve how you navigate your life. Through my experience supporting individuals through their most difficult seasons of life, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of guidance, a supportive environment, and the therapeutic process. I'm confident that, together, we can find ways to help you feel significantly better and live a more fulfilling life.
My approach to the therapeutic process prioritizes the client-therapist relationship – we are a team – and draws up two areas of mental wellness: (1) sport psychology of high performance to help you develop a vision, set goals, actualize potential, and live with intention, and (2) physiological approaches such as physical activity, exercise, and health.
With my hybrid approach to mental wellness, it would be my privilege to help you explore areas of your life where you feel you are in need of guidance, support you in your pursuit of improving mental wellness, and work together to face life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, life direction and fulfillment. During our initial session, we will explore the major areas of concern and collaborate to create a plan with 2-3 specific treatment goals. Most of my clients appreciate the structured approach to therapy. My hope for every client is to see improvement in symptoms and eventually graduate from therapy

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mind-body approaches in my practice. With CBT, we look at the relationships between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
