Sometimes clients feel an overwhelming sense of pressure from the world around them or in their sport. They are trying to make sense of their identity while fitting into a world of high expectations. This may lead to concerns such as anxiety and depression, impacting performance and overall wellbeing.

I strive to actively listen to every client to understand their unique needs and strengths. I often help clients identify concerns or roadblocks in their mental well-being and then work through these with them. I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy to enhance present moment focus and overall psychological well-being. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to understand unconscious processes that may be manifested in the client's present behavior.

I work to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, in which clients can develop a holistic understanding of their world and individual needs. It is my goal that clients will not only enhance their ability to effectively cope with the full variety of life’s worries but also improve their confidence in their ability to reach success both in life and sport.  

Experience - I am a mental health clinician and performance consultant with a Master of Science in Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. I ran Division I cross country and track at the University of Northern Colorado and Division II cross country and track at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I have provided individual and group counseling and skill building workshops to diverse individuals with a wide range of presenting problems, types and degrees of mental illness, and levels of functioning. Additionally, I have developed team and individual psychological skills training for collegiate, high school, and middle school athletes that focused on a variety of topics such as breathing techniques, maintaining focus, and identifying team roles.
