About My Clients

In our first sessions, you can expect a warm, safe, and supportive environment where you can show up as your whole self—not just as “the athlete.” Together, we’ll explore both the mental side of your sport and the human experiences that happen outside of it. At Mental Matters, LLC, you’ll find a place where your story, your goals, and your growth truly matter—because your Mental Matters on and off the field.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in supporting athletes navigating challenges such as anxiety, panic, performance concerns, stress, depression, and relationship struggles. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions are collaborative, guided by your goals and needs, and designed to help you develop mental skills, build resilience, and promote lasting balance on and off the field. I also work with parents navigating the complexities of youth sports. I understand the emotional toll, the financial strain, and the constant worry that can come with supporting a young athlete. Everyone deserves support, perspective, and space to care for their mental health.
