Hello! Starting therapy is a powerful act of courage, and I’d be honored to walk beside you. I blend evidence-based counseling with martial arts principles—particularly those taught in Taekwondo—to build focus, resilience, and confidence. Under the supervision of Dr. Keith Cates (SC00872), I help clients manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions using CBT, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches to create meaningful, lasting change.
With specialized training in sports psychology, I help athletes and high achievers sharpen focus, recover from setbacks, and align mindset with performance goals. Whether rebuilding from injury or striving for growth, therapy can strengthen the same discipline and balance that drive success in every area of life.
Like many of my clients, I know that growth isn’t linear—it’s a practice. My goal is to help you find calm, clarity, and confidence through genuine connection and steady effort. Whether we talk, reflect, or rebuild, you will cultivate peace, satisfaction, and an indomitable spirit along the way.
