About me

I’m a licensed therapist who works with high performers—athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals—navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and performance pressure. I offer a warm, focused, and collaborative space where we explore what’s beneath the surface, develop emotional resilience, and build the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with purpose. Therapy with me is both deep and practical, always tailored to your goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll slow things down and focus on building a connection. You’ll have space to share what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’ve been struggling with, and what you hope to get out of this process. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, current challenges, and goals, but there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. It’s normal to feel nervous or unsure at first—my job is to help you feel supported and heard. We’ll also talk about how I work and make sure it feels like a good fit. From there, we’ll start building a roadmap together, whether that’s working through anxiety, navigating burnout, exploring identity, or sharpening your mental performance. This session is about starting where you are and setting the stage for real, meaningful growth.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths lie in combining depth and practicality—I help clients get to the root of what’s holding them back while also giving them tools they can use right away. My approach is warm, focused, and collaborative. I specialize in working with high performers, which means I understand the pressure, drive, and emotional toll that can come with success. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, IFS, mindfulness, Brainspotting, and psychodynamic therapy to create a customized experience for each client. Whether we’re healing past wounds or sharpening your present mindset, I meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are high performers—athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals—who are driven but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many are navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or identity shifts that come with pressure and transition. Some are recovering from past trauma that still shows up in their relationships or performance. You might be someone who looks like you have it all together on the outside but feels stressed, lost, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. You’re ready for things to change—you just need the right tools and support to get there. I’m best positioned to support those who want to understand themselves more deeply, develop emotional resilience, and live with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether you’re working toward healing or high-level goals (or both), therapy with me is a space to grow—honestly, skillfully, and at your own pace.

My treatment methods

Brainspotting

I use Brainspotting with athletes and high performers to target mental blocks, performance anxiety, and past experiences that may be holding them back. It helps access deeper focus, release tension, and unlock peak potential—allowing you to perform with more clarity, confidence, and flow.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment. For high performers and athletes, this means learning to stay present under pressure, manage stress effectively, and respond rather than react. Together, we integrate mindfulness into daily life for lasting mental clarity and emotional balance.

Psychodynamic

I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore the deeper roots of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—often shaped by early experiences and relationships. By increasing self-awareness and uncovering unconscious patterns, clients gain insight that leads to lasting change, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of self.
