About

listen, act, and transform

I bring 17 years of experience in mental health to my work as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and sports performance consultant. My doctorate in clinical psychology, with specialization in sports and performance psychology, informs my strength-based approach to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges. Whether you're managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, working through relationship dynamics, facing a major life transition, or looking to enhance performance in work, sports, or personal goals, I'm here to support you. I combine Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and life coaching to give you practical tools tailored to your unique needs. I work with young adults, adults, and elders via telehealth, and I'm currently accepting new clients. I accept several major insurance plans and am committed to creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can build toward meaningful change.
