Great to meet you!

Dr. Thompson specializes in supporting athletes and BIPOC individuals who are navigating stress, burnout, identity concerns, performance pressure, and life transitions. Many of her clients are high-achieving and deeply committed to their goals, yet feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from their bodies, or exhausted by the constant demands placed on them.

My approach to therapy

Dr. Thompson's approach to therapy is holistic, supportive, action oriented and culturally affirming, with a strong focus on mindfulness and the mind–body connection. She strives to create a space where clients, especially athletes and individuals from marginalized communities, feel safe to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore healing beyond performance, productivity, or external expectations.

What you can expect from me

Dr. Thompson's hope is for clients to experience a culturally humble clinician who strives to cultivate an environment where clients feel supported.
