I prioritize creating a secure and welcoming space for clients to express their thoughts, while helping them navigate complex thought processes through co-exploration and self-regulation techniques. My experience as a Division I student-athlete has influenced my emphasis on the mental health of athletes across all performance levels. Athletes frequently face substantial pressure to perform, both in competitive settings and life in general, which often leads to their mental health needs being unaddressed. My professional experience extends to areas including anxiety, oppression, trauma, grief, social skills, developmental concerns, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and depression.
