About My Clients
You’ve definitely come to the right place if you’re in school, playing sports or teaching within a middle school, high school, college, or professional environment. Like many of my clients, you might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out. You’re probably exhausted and maybe feeling lost or unmotivated in the classes, sports, or work you once enjoyed. The pressure to be perfect and to please everyone else is so heavy that your focus and performance might be slipping more than ever before.
My Background and Approach
As a former high school social worker, women's basketball coach, and student-athlete, I have a deep understanding of what my clients are experiencing. I offer both in-person and online therapy so you can conveniently access the support you deserve, while navigating your busy schedule. My approach is strengths-based, which will involve a collaborative and empowering journey tailored to your unique values, strengths, and goals. You’ll receive a mixture of empathetic and reflective listening, thoughtful feedback, accountability, and new perspectives and tools for helping you better manage your stressors. Some things we might work on together include self-care, coping strategies, mindfulness, boundary setting, self-awareness, committed action, sports psychology tools, and much more. Ultimately, you'll develop a stronger understanding of yourself and build the confidence and skills needed to create balance, focus, and fulfillment in your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Seeking out therapy requires an immense amount of courage and self-awareness, which I greatly respect in my clients. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and my role is to be a supportive guide who will help you reach your full potential. The values that motivate me as a therapist in large part stem from my experiences as a social worker, coach, and athlete. These experiences have demonstrated to me the power of self-compassion, vulnerability, self-discipline, and strong support systems. They have shown me that there is beauty in our flaws and that any challenge or crisis can lead to positive transformation and change. “Obstacles don’t block the path; they are the path.” - Zen proverb
