What I do
I am passionate about helping student-athletes navigate the mental and emotional demands of sport, drawing on my own experience as a Division I soccer player to inform my clinical work. My specialties include performance anxiety, perfectionism, body image, and disordered eating, as well as supporting athletes through identity development, injury, and life transitions. I use an integrative approach grounded primarily in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with mindfulness as a central and deeply meaningful part of my work. I value creating a collaborative space where athletes feel supported both in their sport and in their broader sense of self.
Professional Biography
My path toward sport psychology began on the field, as a Division I soccer player learning firsthand how much mental performance, body image, injury and identity are intertwined with athletic life. That experience has shaped my clinical training and sparked a deep interest in supporting athletes through concerns like anxiety, perfectionism, disordered eating, injury, and life transitions. In my clinical work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, I have used an integrative approach, primarily ACT, CBT, ERP and DBT, along with a strong grounding in mindfulness, to help clients build psychological flexibility and reconnect with what matters to them. What I find most meaningful is watching clients move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered, and I am excited to bring that same integrative, mindfulness-centered approach to supporting student-athletes in this new role.
