I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and a life and performance coach. I am best known for my versatility in working with couples, life coaching individuals, and performance coaching with athletes and executives (and a warm and approachable demeanor).
As a counselor, I advocate that understanding ourselves and our relationships better is not just for those in crisis. I believe counseling can help everyone be their most elite selves. I adapt the skills elite athletes use for everyday life. I help folks understand how they came to be where they are and how to bridge the gap to where they would like to be.
For couples, I offer pathways to letting triggers become teachers. I unravel the mystery of calm communication through conflict, even infidelity, and a perspective that allows a much more profound understanding of what is really going on.
I regularly work with:
couples in crisis
couples seeking pre-marital counseling
individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and addictive behaviors across the lifespan
folks navigating divorce, dating, and life transitions
athletes experiencing performance anxiety, addictive behaviors or clinical issues, seeking next level performance, or returning from injury
Coaches and parents of student athletes looking to provide next level support
Parents seeking understanding and skills to best prepare their children for the slings and arrows of life and give them the ability to thrive; not to mention help their households find more peace and harmony
