I've had the opportunity to work as a clinical counseling intern and as a mental skills coach at universities in the area. These roles have allowed me to support a diverse range of clients, including underserved populations, first-generation students, pilots, student-athletes, BIPOC, and the LGBTQIA+ community. My style is grounded in practical strategies that clients can easily implement in their daily lives and see measurable progress. By combining trauma-informed and evidenced-based techniques (CBT and DBT) with my own personal touch, I strive to help clients harness their strengths to achieve their goals.
I specialize in working with men, women and athletes struggling with depression, anxiety and confidence issues. I am passionate about challenging some of the societal beliefs around initiating therapy, particularly for men and athletes, and I'm committed to encouraging open and honest conversations regarding mental-health and wellness within this community.
