Life is full of transitions, and you don\u2019t have to face them alone. As an LMSW, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate some of life\u2019s most meaningful and challenging seasons. Whether you\u2019re an athlete striving to perform at your best or an older adult adjusting to life\u2019s changes, I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and empowered.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a former collegiate athlete, I understand that success in sports requires more than physical ability. The pressure to perform, injuries, changing identities, self-doubt. And life after athletics can take a significant emotional toll. I enjoy helping athletes build confidence, strengthen resilience, manage performance anxiety and discover who they are beyond an athlete.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also have a heart for working with older adults and their families as they navigate aging, grief, caregiving, loss and other major life transitions. These experiences can bring sadness, and overwhelming emotions, but they can also become opportunities for healing, growth, and renewed purpose. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals and families during these important chapters of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and accepted. My approach is person-centered, compassionate, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Together, we will build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and help you move forward with greater confidence, resilience and hope.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
