Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Therapist and Performance Consultant, I help my clients overcome anxiety, burnout, and performance blocks. Whether you're an executive facing work stress, an athlete with performance anxiety, or someone navigating life transitions, I provide evidence-based therapy that works. My unique approach combines CBT for anxiety with mindset coaching and performance psychology techniques. With 10+ years helping clients thrive in all aspects of their life, I offer both online therapy and practical tools for lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I blend evidence-based therapies like CBT with performance coaching to help you thrive, not just survive. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, work stress, or performance blocks, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that works for your goals. My approach combines traditional therapy for depression and anxiety with mindset strategies used by elite athletes and executives. Together, we'll build your confidence, develop stress management skills, and unlock the motivated, capable person you truly are.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a safe space to share what's really going on whether it is the anxiety keeping you up, the work stress wearing you down, or the performance blocks holding you back. We will explore your goals for therapy, whether that's managing depression, building confidence, or achieving peak performance. At the end of the session you will leave with more insight and a clear treatment plan aimed at achieving your goals. Most clients feel hopeful and heard, with practical next steps toward real change.
