As a former athlete, I uniquely understand the pressures that face athletes and performers. Being an athlete affects your physical and mental health, social life and personal identity, and it provides structure and motivation in life. Athletes historically have neglected and downplayed mental health issues and the mental side of performing, though they are affected by life stressors just like everybody else. I understand this dynamic because I lived it as a collegiate and professional soccer player prior to shifting to my career as a therapist.
With 12+ years of experience working with severely mentally ill and/or addicted clients through Johns Hopkins, UCSF, Sutter Health, and Kaiser Permanente, I have learned to apply Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and/or Psychodynamic theories to help with each individual client.
I believe that no one knows you better than you know yourself. Together we can identify what is working for and against you, what patterns need to be broken or adjusted, and what coping skills can be learned and practiced to maximize your ability to be at your best when it matters most.
