Psychologist, PhD
Last Updated 22 days ago

With a passion for understanding the unique challenges that college life presents, I’m a seasoned psychologist specializing in college mental health, sport and performance psychology, and career counseling.

Navigating the intricate maze of university life can be overwhelming, but I am here to provide the support you need. I recognize the academic, personal, and social pressures that college students face and am committed to helping you thrive during these transformative years.

In the realm of sport and performance psychology, I go beyond the classroom, understanding the importance of balance in a student's life. Whether you're an athlete striving for peak performance or simply aiming to excel in various aspects of your college journey, I will tailor my strategies to enhance your mental resilience and overall well-being.

Furthermore, I bring my expertise to the realm of career counseling, recognizing that your time in college is a crucial stepping stone toward your professional future. I will collaborate with you to identify your strengths, interests, and goals, offering personalized guidance to help you make informed decisions about your college major and/or career path.

I strive to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness delivered through a holistic approach, I will help empower you to overcome challenges, build resilience, and unlock your full potential.
