Graduate of EdD in Sport and Performance Psychology with Clinical Mental Health Counseling Specialization Program at the University of Western States. I earned my Master's Degree in Applied Sport Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I have been working with high achieving athletes on the challenges of training and competing for more than five years. Connecting with individuals is the foundation for my professional and personal life. I coach at a local junior rowing club in Portland helping aspiring young athletes. In my free time you might find me riding my bike or with my headphones blaring some of my favorite albums.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe that therapy is a collaborative commitment. My approach is anchored in steady, consistent, and unflappable support, grounded by my dual background in mental health and sport psychology. I don't just hold space for your experiences, I help you stay accountable through honest, direct feedback, and I am deeply invested in helping you navigate the most challenging thoughts and feelings you are facing.
My goal is to provide a structured, grounded environment where we can look beneath the surface. Together, we will examine the core beliefs that are "driving the bus" of your life, shifting them from automatic habits to conscious, healthy choices.
Who I Work With
I work best with analytical clients who are truly ready to do the work. If you are someone who seeks deep insight and values direct, honest feedback, we will be a great match. I thrive in partnerships with clients who are committed to the therapeutic process and willing to bravely engage with the difficult realities of their lives. If you are ready to stop avoiding the hard stuff and start understanding the deep-seated beliefs shaping your experience, I am here to help you steer the course.
