What's My Approach to Therapy?

Hi there! I want to give you a warm welcome. I work with individuals who are navigating the complexities of being human. My clients often feel stuck in perfectionist patterns, overwhelmed by internal pressure, or weighed down by painful relational experiences. I have a special focus on supporting high-achieving folks, specifically student-athletes and emerging adults. As a former collegiate athlete myself, I can empathize with the unique pressures. I work with clients facing burnout, injury, identity shifts, and the transition out of sport - as well as those healing from sports-related trauma, including the long-term effects of high-pressure or harmful coaching dynamics.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface: the beliefs you’ve internalized, the roles you’ve taken on, and the parts of yourself that want to be seen and understood.

Additionally, I provide testing for ADHD Evaluations and Psychodiagnostic Assessments to individuals across the lifespan.

My work is grounded in relational and psychodynamic approaches, informed by trauma theory and a deep belief in the healing power of connection. I’m here to walk with you—not to “fix” you—but to help you reconnect with yourself in deeper, more compassionate ways.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect over a free consultation call!

My Practice & Services

My fee is $200 per session. I also reserve a small number of sliding scale spots for those facing financial hardship, including students or individuals from historically marginalized communities.

I understand that talking about money can feel uncomfortable or even vulnerable. If cost is a barrier, please know I’m open to having a thoughtful, respectful conversation about what feels manageable for you.
