LPC, 4 years of experience
I work with individuals 14 and over, but specialize in helping teenagers, young adults, athletes, women and those who have experienced trauma. I use a holistic approach to treat mental, physical and spiritual health, believing that all must function well to achieve happiness. I encourage clients to make positive changes, avoid destructive behaviors, and make their own decisions. Improving self-confidence and fostering meaningful connections are essential for everyone. For those dealing with trauma, I use a technique called Brainspotting to identify, process, and release physical and emotional distress associated with traumatic experiences. The objective is to access deeper emotional parts of the brain by bypassing conscious thinking and heal underlying trauma that contributes to conditions like anxiety and depression. My passion also lies in sports where I use over 20 years of coaching experience to enhance mental performance in athletes. For athletes, attitude, emotions, and perspective are just as crucial as physical training. My goal is to help athletes improve their confidence, focus, and mental resilience, so they can overcome perfectionism and performance anxiety.
In your first session, you'll receive an introduction to my therapeutic approaches. We’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, personal history, and set specific goals. I'll explain the structure of future sessions and create a safe, non-judgmental space for open communication. Administrative details, including confidentiality and scheduling, will be covered. You'll leave with a clear understanding of the therapy process, a sense of connection, and hope for positive change.
My greatest strengths lie in my direct communication, empathy, and ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I bring positivity and intuition to my practice, creating a supportive environment that empowers clients to achieve their goals. With a focus on positive reinforcement, I help clients build resilience and self-confidence. My expertise in various therapeutic approaches allows me to tailor treatments to each client's unique needs, fostering personal growth and holistic well-being.

The intricate connection between the mind and body significantly impacts our performance and potential. Mental barriers such as anxiety, low self-confidence, fear, and lack of emotional control hinder us from reaching our full capabilities. I utilize Mental Performance Training (MPT) to teach athletes and performers how to improve confidence, focus, attitude, and motivation.
Rather then keep people in therapy forever, together we work towards developing realistic solutions quickly and learning how to stay present. Eliminating negative influences and creating positive vibes is the goal.
