Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Accepting clients Last Updated 0 days ago

Seeking support is not always easy, especially when you are used to pushing through challenges on your own. Therapy can be a space to slow down, gain perspective, build practical tools, and reconnect with yourself while navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and performance-related pressures. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adolescents, adults and athletes since 2017. My approach is empowering, warm, collaborative, and holistic, integrating CBT, DBT, ACT, and strength-based, solution-focused techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring experience as a former NCAA All-American student-athlete, collegiate coach, athletics wellness professional, and strength & conditioning coach. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the connection between mental health, performance, emotional wellbeing, physical wellness, and identity development.

I especially enjoy working with athletes, high performers, college students, coaches, and individuals navigating stress, burnout, perfectionism, emotion regulation difficulties, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and encouraged throughout the therapeutic process.
