Great to meet you!

With over 10 years of experience working with youth and families in the mental health field, I specialize in supporting teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also bring a unique understanding of the pressures and experiences of student-athletes. I recognize the mental and emotional demands that come with striving for success—both on and off the field. Whether you're navigating performance anxiety, identity beyond sport, injury recovery, or balancing academics and athletics, I’m here to support your full journey, not just your performance.

My approach to therapy

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the power of human connection and authentic relationships. I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach that focuses on motivation, building self-esteem, and holding hope—even in the darkest moments. My role is to help quiet the loud, self-critical thoughts that no longer serve you, and to support you as you reconnect with your worth and begin choosing yourself.

What you can expect from me

I provide a safe, supportive space where you can be your true, authentic self—without judgment. My goal is to make you feel seen, heard, and valued in every session. I use warmth, empathy, and a bit of humor to help put you at ease and build trust as we work together.
