Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're navigating school, sports, relationships, anxiety, or major life transitions. My goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and athletes to build confidence, strengthen emotional resilience, manage stress, and improve performance both on and off the field. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and evidence-based approaches, I help clients develop practical skills to overcome challenges, embrace their strengths, and create lasting, meaningful change
