Life is ideally joyful and fulfilling, but most of us have experienced times in which we struggle to process difficult situations and complex emotions. We may feel isolated, stuck, or overwhelmed by life events and seek guidance and support to get back to an emotional equilibrium. Therapy can be a powerful way to discover our inner strength and make changes that empower us as individuals and facilitate our growth, resilience, and well-being.

It can be difficult under normal circumstances to know when to seek outside help for your child. If your child is experiencing distress or engaging in behaviors that are interfering with their ability to participate successfully in life, then you are on the right track in seeking additional support. I work in collaboration with children and the adults in their life to help target goal areas and provide practical support. As a licensed school psychologist I have a range of experience working with children-teens in support of their social, emotional, learning, and behavioral needs in private and public school settings.

As a former Division 1 Athlete and current Trailing Spouse, I am here to serve the ATHLETE and EXPAT communities. Athletes, you might have access to free resources at your school/university/college but sometimes it's nice to talk to someone outside of your athletic department because they might be part of the problem and you might feel more comfortable talking about your struggles with someone else "gets it." Expats, we know RMO-Ps aren't always available when we need them and local therapists might not be able to relate to our lifestyle or culture. I understand life inside the bubble without living inside of yours.

As a former NCAA Division 1 Athlete, I have a passion for working with athletes at all levels. After over a decade of coaching at the youth and collegiate levels and witnessing the life struggles of my teammates and players, I decided to switch sides of the field to work with athletes outside of the lines. Life off the field impacts performance on the field. If you find yourself feeling more stressed than usual, not performing as well as you would like, or have experienced a case of the “yips” and want to return to peak performance, let’s talk.

The decision to begin therapy can take a great deal of vulnerability and courage. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and other personal experiences with someone unfamiliar can be difficult and it's important to work with a counselor who allows you to be completely authentic as you begin your journey of personal growth and healing. I take pride in providing a safe, judgement-free environment for each individual I work with in order to help them meet their fullest potential.

I highly value trust and connection in order for humans to heal. I bring my authentic self and transparency into session in order to give clients the ability to be fully themselves. My goal is to help ease psychological suffering brought on by trauma and other negative life circumstances and then make sense of the overwhelming emotions/responses. It is through compassion and connection that corrective emotional experiences can occur. I believe that our ability to both experience and understand our Self and others is a key component in building secure (emotionally safe) relationships.

There are times in life when you need an ally. Someone to listen, offer feedback, and help you realize your potential. During such times a therapist can be an important support. Whether you are struggling with isolation during COVID, are finding it hard to move past a break up, or cope with the absence of a loved one. Perhaps the struggle of "adulting" has you in total disbelief, or at a loss for words. These are times when you have an opportunity to make great change. Not because someone told you to go to therapy, but because you want to find yourself. My goal is to help you find your way and renew your outlook on life.

Individuals living with neurological disorders, as well as their family members, often can benefit from support as they are adjusting to functional changes and daily challenges. Physical, cognitive, and emotional/behavioral symptoms may result from altered brain functioning associated with a variety of neurological disorders, including TBI, stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and dementias. Personal/family and social relationships are known to change. Appreciating these changes and formulating realistic goals can make a positive difference moving forward in life.
