About Me
Compassionate
I work to create a safe and warm environment. An environment where your experience matters most, where you are valid, and where you deserve care.
Present
Being present to moment to moment experiences will create opportunities to move into deeper understanding of painful internal events. I will work to create space for the natural and organic unfolding of your experience to be at the center of our work.
Curious
I encourage a willingness to the lean into the unknown; with open arms and a beginners mindset, anything and everything is possible.
As a licensed therapist (LPCC#11320) with over a decade of experience, I've developed a practice that integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and flow state principles. My goal is to support individuals in enhancing their overall well-being, psychological flexibility, and performance.
My professional experience spans diverse settings, and I've found a particular focus in addressing men's issues. My own background as a college athlete provided me with firsthand experience of the unique pressures and challenges faced by athletes. This experience, coupled with my time coaching, has given me a deep understanding of the mental and emotional demands of competitive sports. I'm trained in ACT, and am a Certified Mindful Sports Performance Enhancement (MSPE) Instructor, which allows me to provide specialized support to athletes and coaches. I help them manage cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects to improve performance.
My therapeutic approach aims to assist clients in navigating mental health challenges and fostering overall well-being. I work with individuals, addressing a range of concerns, including those specific to men's experiences. I also consult with athletes, teams, and coaches across multiple sports. My expertise lies in helping clients achieve a state of focused engagement, or "flow state," while also facilitating internal harmony through the exploration of "parts" within the self using IFS.
In my free time I enjoy spending time in nature, pushing myself to do hard things, cooking, and listening to music.
