Athletics shape more than performance—they shape identity, purpose, discipline, and how you learn to relate to yourself and others. As a former college basketball player and colliegate assistant coach, I understand firsthand the pressure to perform, the constant evaluation, and the unspoken expectation to push through at all costs. Over time, these demands can leave parts of you feeling lost—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally.

My work with athletes is grounded in a person first, player second philosophy. In this space, you are not reduced to your stats, position, or role on a team. I hold space for the human behind the jersey, helping you reconnect with who you are beyond performance and productivity. Together, we work to address the challenges that interfere with joy, fulfillment, and presence—both in sport and in life.

I also support athletes navigating transitions, including injury, burnout, loss of identity, and retirement from sport. While athletics develop resilience, leadership, and discipline, “athlete brain” doesn’t always translate seamlessly into life beyond competition. Counseling offers a place to integrate what you’ve gained through your sport while gently refining the parts of you that feel stuck, fractured, or uncertain.

Whether you are currently competing or stepping into a new season, therapy can be a space where fragmented experiences are met with care and refined into clarity, strength, and wholeness—allowing you to move from performance-driven survival toward fullness in who you are. 

The transition into motherhood is profound—filled with beauty, joy, grief, exhaustion, and responsibility all at once. Becoming a mother reshapes identity, relationships, the body, faith, and the way you move through the world. There are gains and there are losses, and often they exist side by side in ways that feel confusing or isolating.

Having navigated pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood during the uncertainty of the pandemic, I understand the unique layers of trauma, responsibility, and isolation that marked that season for so many parents. For many, that time disrupted expectations of support, safety, and connection, leaving experiences that were never fully processed. Those unspoken pieces can linger long after the crisis has passed.

In my counseling work, I create space to honor the full reality of motherhood—the hard and the wonderful, the gratitude and the grief, the strength and the vulnerability. This is a space where identity shifts can be explored, losses can be named, and adjustments can be made with compassion rather than pressure. You do not have to minimize your pain because you love your child, and you do not have to hide your joy because motherhood feels heavy at times.

Here, your experiences are met with care, and what feels fractured can be gently tended to and refined into understanding, steadiness, and wholeness. There is room for all of it in my counseling office.
