My specialities as a therapist are 1) children, adolescents, & their families and 2) student athletes. Many individuals within this population suffer with mood disorders, anxiety, school & sport performance stress, identity crisis, family conflict, and low self-esteem due to familial/societal expectations and competitive culture. As a child, teenager, or parent, managing all these life stressors can take a toll on our mental health. My hope as a therapist is to make clients feel safe to process these struggles, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and improve their social/ family connections around them.
I have experience working with children & student athletes dealing with academic/ performance stress, anxiety, body image, behavioral outbursts, aggression, and divorce in the school and private practice setting. I use CBT, humanistic therapy, mindfulness, and performance psychology framework to help with performance, relationships.
As a former college athlete & professional athlete, I understand the struggles of athletes & students under high pressure. I hope to help them become well-rounded functioning individuals. I'm also an advocate for athlete mental in the South Bay by doing public speaking, podcasts, and working with teamFeel free to reach out to me for a free consultation call!
