About My Clients
You're a competitor in every room - at work, on the field, at home - and it's starting to cost you. You love the people around you and lately you can't stand being around them. You're showing up for everyone else, and nobody's asking how you're doing. You don't want to punch a wall or cry every day, but here you are. You want to be present with your kids, but your mind is somewhere else entirely. You've handled tougher things than this. So why does this feel impossible?
My Background and Approach
Women: Postpartum depression & anxiety - without guilt, without judgment Divorce & separation - the grief, and what comes next Boundaries - the real kind, not the kind that just makes other people annoyed Anxiety, depression, & the chronic low-grade exhaustion that doesn't have a diagnosis Athletes: Performance anxiety: pre-game fear, competition freeze, mental blocks Perfectionism and the inner critic that never lets you have a good game Athletic identity: who are you when you're not an athlete? Career transitions: from playing to coaching, from sport to corporate Adrenaline dependency: when regular life feels flat after high-stakes competition Relationships: how the athlete mindset affects your marriage, parenting, and friendships First Responders: Chronic stress & hypervigilance that doesn't switch off when the shift ends The cumulative weight of critical incidents - what happens when you've seen too much Substance use that started as coping and became something else
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Sessions with me aren't what most people expect. There's no probing silence, no deep-dive into your relationship with your parents before you've said hello. It's a conversation - from the start, I am listening for what you actually want, not just what's wrong. When I started my master's program in counseling, I had no intention of ending up in private practice. I was going into crisis work - the front lines, the emergency rooms, the psychiatric units where nobody goes unless they have to. That was where I felt called. 16 years later, I have built something different: a private practice rooted in the same urgency and directness that defined my crisis work, but focused on the people who are high-functioning on the outside and quietly overwhelmed on the inside.
