My own experiences with anxiety and sport-related trauma inspired me to become a counselor and support others facing similar challenges. I find deep meaning in connecting with people, helping them feel seen and supported, and making a positive impact as they work toward healing and growth.

I work best with clients who are curious about themselves and open to the process, even if they feel unsure or nervous at first. You don’t have to be fully ready—just willing to take a brave step and explore what therapy could offer.

Healing isn’t linear. There will be ups and downs, moments of growth, and times that feel like setbacks. You won’t do it perfectly, and that’s okay. Progress can look messy and take time, but showing up, making mistakes, and staying curious are all signs that real change is happening—and learning to trust the process is part of the healing itself

In the first session, I aim to keep things conversational and relaxed, giving you the chance to get to know my personality and how I show up as a therapist. I’m open about my style while also gathering the information I need to best support you. From the start, we’ll work together to create a flow and space that feels right for you and leaves room for genuine, human connection.

Honesty, respect, and a nonjudgmental attitude are central to how I show up as a therapist. I believe we’re all human, doing our best to navigate life, even when we don’t have all the answers or make mistakes along the way. Growth often comes from being given space to reflect, take accountability, and try again—while being met with understanding rather than judgment. My background in sports has shaped my belief in the power of connection, collaboration, and working together toward meaningful change.

I tailor therapy using an integrated, evidence-based approach designed to meet each client’s unique needs. I believe therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I actively listen to feedback and adjust when something isn’t working. I aim to model openness and accountability by acknowledging mistakes and staying willing to learn alongside my clients.
