About My Clients

Are you struggling with racing thoughts of worry and stress, feeling like you’re about to crawl out of your own skin? Or perhaps you’re an athlete overwhelmed by the constant pressure to perform at 100%, with no room for an off-day, fearing that losing a part of your identity feels like the end of the world? These feelings can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate alone. That’s why I’m here—to offer a helping hand tailored to your unique needs, supporting you every step of the way!

My Background and Approach

Therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" process, which is why I embrace a multimodal approach. I draw on concepts from cognitive behavioral theory to explore how your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors are interconnected. I also incorporate a person-centered approach, recognizing that you are the expert of your own journey. As a former collegiate athlete and a professor of sports and exercise psychology, I bring unique insights and tools to support those navigating challenges such as performance anxiety, body image concerns, motivation, and life transitions. Together, we’ll work toward helping you achieve the life you envision for yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone deserves a space to explore who they are and what they truly want. Therapy offers an opportunity for self-reflection and positive growth in a safe and supportive environment. I believe in using language that feels natural and comfortable for you, allowing you to express yourself in the way that feels right. You are the expert on your life—my role is to walk alongside you on your journey, offering insight and support when needed. I don’t see "issues" or "problems"—instead, I see challenges, which remind us that they can be faced and overcome. At the end of the day, the most important relationship you have is with yourself, and prioritizing your well-being is never "selfish."
