(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Psychotherapist
I specialize in helping athletes strengthen their mindset, manage pressure, recover from setbacks, and perform at their highest level.
In my psychotherapy practice, I specialize in working with athletes who are striving not only for success in sport but for balance, clarity, and resilience in life. With a unique blend of clinical psychotherapy and sport psychology, I help athletes develop the mental tools needed to manage performance anxiety, recover from injury, navigate identity shifts, and build emotional strength. My approach is athlete-centered, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as EMDR, mindfulness, and mental performance training. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, empowering space—where vulnerability is met with understanding, and goals are met with purpose. Whether you're a high school athlete facing pressure, a collegiate player navigating transitions, or a professional seeking longevity and focus, I tailor each session to support your mental game and your overall well-being.
