Clinical bio

As a life long athlete and local gym owner I believe that physical and mental heath is a parallel process. You cannot have one without the other. My practice is a holistic approach to mental health. Meaning most sessions include EMDR, mindfulness, CBT as well as nervous system regulation coping skills. Passionate about the interconnectedness of mind and body as well as focusing on overall wellbeing rather than just treating symptoms. I see many clients/athletes who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety and depression, internal/external pressures to success. Helping my clients find relief and their small wins is primary focus. My sessions often integrate a combination of: EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, Nervous system regulation & somatic tools, Mental strength and mindset work and walk-and-talk sessions (when appropriate). I’m passionate about helping clients understand how their nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and body all interact—especially under stress and performance pressure. Have helped clients: Decrease anxiety and depressive symptoms, Improve sleep and recovery, Return to play after performance or injury-related mental blocks, Overcome long-standing performance struggles (2–5+ years), Reduce overthinking and “rapid brain”, Build confidence and a more positive, resilient mindset. Achieve success in high-level competition.
