I’m an Associate Clinical Therapist with over 15 years of experience in coaching, youth development, and human performance. My work is grounded in the belief that when athletes are supported as whole people, not just performers, they can thrive in sport and in life.

Before entering the therapy space, I spent over a decade as a strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and educator. I’ve worked in gyms, schools, and athletic programs, helping clients build not just physical strength but the mental and emotional skills needed for long-term health and performance. That experience continues to inform my work as a therapist today.

My path into this work also comes from a personal place. As a youth athlete, I left sport before I was ready. I didn’t have the tools or support to understand what I was experiencing, and that loss stayed with me. It’s what drives me now, to create the kind of affirming, skill-building space I wish I’d had.

I work with youth, teens, and adults, and I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ athletes and those in girls’ and women’s sports. I’m committed to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for all identities across race, gender, sexuality, ability, class, and cultural background.

Clinically, my approach is relational, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and performance psychology to help clients navigate stress, build insight, and develop tools that support both well-being and performance. I often integrate self-talk training, performance routines, identity exploration, and breathwork in my work with clients.

Outside of work, you can find me lifting in the gym, hiking trails with my black lab Millie, or cheering on a women’s game. I believe in the power of movement, rest, identity, and community, and in helping athletes show up fully as themselves in every part of their lives.
