I work with individuals dealing with a variety of issues such as depression, trauma, anxiety, and adjusting to new life circumstances. I specialize in helping those struggling with compulsive overeating as well as those struggling to overcome traumatic events. I find that the combination of CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques provide my clients with the tools needed to overcome the obstacles in their life.
As a certified mental performance consultant, I work with coaches, athletes, and parents to overcome barriers that they may be experiencing while involved in sport. Either as a team or individual, mental skills help clients gain an edge in their sport as well as in their everyday life.
"I'm passionate about working with people to solve their own problems. Everyone has the capacity to resolve their issues and lead a healthy life but not everyone realizes they have the tools. Some need help discovering these tools so they can make these discoveries to develop a healthier life."
