About My Clients

I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals, including professionals, creatives, and athletes, who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, or complex relational issues. If you’ve been caught in the cycle of unhealthy coping mechanisms—like overworking, substance use, or avoiding difficult emotions—I can help you uncover the root causes of these behaviors and empower you to create new, healthier ways of living.

My Background and Approach

Before becoming a therapist, I was a Division 1 athlete, where I learned the value of resilience, discipline, and how to maintain balance amidst high pressure. This experience shapes the way I work with clients who are driven and ambitious, but often find themselves overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from their well-being. I also bring years of experience as a health and wellness coach, specializing in strength training, conditioning, and overall wellness. I believe in a mind-body approach to therapy—healing isn’t just about addressing your thoughts, but also about nurturing your physical health and lifestyle. Together, we’ll address your emotional challenges while optimizing your physical health to create a holistic approach to well-being.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space for individuals of all identities, sexualities, and relationship dynamics. I recognize the unique challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals and couples may face, from societal pressures to internal struggles with identity and acceptance. My approach is centered around empathy and respect, and I work to ensure that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, feels understood, validated, and supported. Whether navigating relationship issues, personal growth, or mental health challenges, I’m here to provide compassionate, affirming care tailored to your specific needs.
