About My Clients

Are you struggling with your identity or standing up for yourself? Are you a people pleaser working yourself into the ground? I would love to support your growth and journey to finding the best version of yourself! My goal is to help you feel more balanced, confident, and empowered—whether you’re managing everyday stress, navigating big transitions, or addressing deeper emotional challenges.

My Background and Approach

I am a second career individual swapping from years in the sports medicine realm to work in mental health, where my passion lies. I work to empower you and give you tools to succeed and live a better life. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and athletes who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity challenges, or disordered eating. I also work with couples navigating life stressors or just struggling to stay connected. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative, creating a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and supported. I can be direct and hold no punches when needed but always with support and encouragement for you. I also love to use humor to bring lightness to the work when needed.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe you are the expert in your life and I am here to just assist and guide as needed. You have the ability to adjust and overcome a lot in life though sometimes struggle to see it or need creative solutions or coping mechanisms for it.
