Athletics Support
As a former division I college basketball player, I am very familiar with the pressures and stressors that student-athletes face. Much of my experience as a therapist has been with college and high school-aged athletes. I also offer support for coaches and teams during times of crisis and professional development for coaches looking to improve their communication skills and team dynamics.
Student Athletes
I support student athletes as they work through the mental, emotional, and practical challenges of balancing sports, school, and life. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing the pressures of the NIL, or just feeling really overwhelmed, we will work together to uncover underlying thoughts and feelings that might be getting in the way of you reaching your potential.
I have experience working with student-athletes at all ability levels as they navigate challenges such as performance anxiety, confidence issues, perfectionism, emotional regulation, interpersonal conflicts, injury recovery, burnout, depression, anxiety and other mental health diagnoses.
By looking at the emotional patterns at play, we can work together to understand these stressors at their root and develop strategies for building resilience. Our work will be tailored to you and your needs, empowering you to overcome obstacles and perform with greater confidence.
Coaches and Administrators
Strong relationships form the foundation of team cohesion with both individual and collective success often hinging on the quality of connections between players, coaches, and staff. When we find ourselves stuck, not knowing how to navigate ongoing conflicts and ruptures within the group, it can distract, demotivate and discourage team members from performing their best. More seriously, when these kinds of conflicts go unaddressed by leadership, they often spiral into more serious problems, leading to players acting out, shutting down, or transferring. It is possible to overcome these challenges by gaining insight into the root of the problem, sharpening relational skills and developing more effective communication and coping strategies.
I help coaches, players and administrators understand how to move through these conflicts, repair ruptures and foster stronger, more healthy team dynamics where everyone can thrive together.
