My approach to counseling is holistic and individualized. I integrate modalities and techniques from multiple philosophies based on each client’s unique needs, combining evidence-based strategies with meaningful relational work. I lean heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy, blending practical skill-building with deeper exploration of childhood learning, developmental relationships, and core schemas that influence present behavior patterns.

For many athletes and high performers, early messages from coaches, parents, or competitive environments shape how they relate to success, failure, authority, and even themselves. A coach’s emphasis on toughness, a parent’s high expectations, or early reinforcement tied only to winning can quietly form beliefs such as “I am only valuable when I perform” or “Mistakes mean I’ve failed.” Together, we identify these patterns and evaluate whether they are still serving you.

My style is warm, collaborative, and supportively challenging. I help clients uncover the missing or out-of-place puzzle pieces in their mindset, build mental skills, and develop healthier, more sustainable ways of thinking and performing, both in sport and in life beyond it.
