Approach:

My approach to counseling is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, authenticity, and respect. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to explore their experiences, challenges, and goals.

I take a strengths-based and values-centered approach, believing each person already possesses the resources needed for growth and healing, even when those strengths feel harder to access during times of stress or transition. My role is to help clients reconnect with those strengths and align their actions with what matters most to them. I incorporate therapeutic challenges and direct feedback when helpful, balancing validation with accountability to support meaningful change. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed approaches, I integrate interventions such as cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, psychoeducation, emotional regulation skills, values exploration, and goal setting tailored to each client’s needs.

As a former collegiate athlete, I am especially passionate about working with athletes navigating performance anxiety, injury recovery, identity outside of sport, confidence concerns, and life transitions. I also support clients in developing routines and mental skills that enhance both performance and overall well-being.

Whether working with athletes or non-athletes, my goal is to help clients build resilience, increase self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward a life aligned with their values, strengths, and aspirations.
