Welcome to my practice!
My passion for sport and performance psychology was sparked as an NCAA Division I track athlete at Drake University. My career pursuits then led me to a master’s degree in sport and exercise science at Kansas State University, and on to a doctoral degree in counseling psychology at the University of Iowa.
​
I work with athletes at levels from college prospect to professional. My clients have included competitors from events as varied as fencing, equestrian sports, and international open water swimming. I have supported pro athletes in the NBA, NWSL, NFL, MLB, MLS, NHL, UFC, and USA Track and Field. I have also enjoyed my work with other types of performers, including actors, comedians, and other performance artists!
​
I am listed in the NFL Players' Association Clinician Directory, and the Mental Health Registry for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. I'm proud to serve NCAA D1 scholar-athletes through the University of Portland Athletics Mental Health and Wellness Program.
​
One of the things I value most about my own sports experience, is getting to know people of widely varying backgrounds and identities. Appreciation of factors like ethnicity, spirituality, economic status, gender identity, and sports culture, is essential to helping people thrive. Sports are at their best when they empower us ALL to be our best!
