I work with high performers and those who support high-performance environments, including athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, educators, athletic and academic support professionals, clinicians, pastors, military members, and first responders. Many clients navigate burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, depression, grief, perfectionism, neurodivergence, and identity-related stress. My approach is multicultural, trauma-informed, and environmentally responsive, honoring how culture, systems, and performance demands shape mental health. I offer in-person therapy in Ohio and telehealth in Ohio, Texas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Florida.

My specialty areas include sports performance, life transitions, and anxiety.
You push hard. You set goals and hit them. And somewhere along the way, you stopped asking whether any of it actually feels good. Maybe a big life change has left you wondering who you are outside of your achievements. Or maybe you just know you're capable of more, but can't figure out what's standing in your way. I work with high achievers, athletes, coaches, and people who are used to being the one who has it all together, until they're not. Together, we dig into what could be driving the burnout, the perfectionism, or the anxiety underneath the surface, and use that to find your path and embrace the climb.

Finding the right therapist isn't a one-size-fits-all process. It's important to find someone who you feel connected with. For that reason I do not charge for the first session if, for any reason, you decide not to schedule a second session. (Only after a second session will I charge for both the first and second sessions.) My goal is to make this process as stress-free as possible for you. I work with a variety of client issues, but specialize heavily in coping with symptoms of anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, and depression. You're likely used to performing at a high level but lately things have felt much heavier.

You want to feel mentally strong and emotionally clear so you can thrive both within the sport and in life beyond it.

I have also been certified in Sports Counseling.
I view counseling as a problem-solving process where we work initially on finding ways to help you feel you are no longer drowning emotionally, then begin a process of improving your awareness of the negative patterns of behavior in your life, and the thoughts and emotions that perpetuate those negative cycles. Once you feel more like you are on solid ground, we work to help you become more aware of the decision points when you can choose to stop from repeating old maladaptive behaviors and begin to develop new more positive behaviors which can help you find a path to a life with which you can be more satisfied.

Life is for living, even when it hasn't looked how we've expected it to.

During my off time, you will find me enjoying outdoor activities like target shooting, fishing, or hiking; practicing martial arts or lifting weights in the gym; training my rottweiler, Dobro; or watching sports or a movie with my three teenage boys.
My clients tend to be adult men who may be struggling with developmental or incident-based trauma. They may be military veterans or first-responders that are using substances to help manage life’s stressors. Many are neurodivergent or are questioning that possibility. Maybe they have a mood disorder they’d like to better manage and want some help working through some common life challenges. Or maybe they aren’t struggling at all but simply want to do better at work, in relationships, or with their physical health/mental wellness.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
