I am a CO native who currently lives in Longmont with my husband and 4 boys. In my free time, I love to explore the world through running and was a Division-1 cross country and track and field athlete for University of Washington. After college, I lived in Seattle and ran professionally for over a decade. The obstacles I’ve encountered forced me to grow, be creative, and push the limits of what I thought I was capable of.

As a former professional athlete, I understand that having support and the right tools to solve the problem in front of you are necessary parts of overcoming life’s challenges. If you've ever felt stuck due to self-doubt, anxiety, inconsistent performance or pursuing your goals has lost its joy, I'm here to help. Almost every athlete I know, including myself, has had to contend with these obstacles at one point or another. I now help athletes develop practical mental skills to compete with confidence, focus under pressure, and connect with their purpose. Evaluating and learning new ways to deal with what’s presented isn't just a skill needed in sport, it's a valuable tool for life as well.

Although I love working with athletes, I am open to working with all ages, issues and concerns. Walking with others through life’s challenges and witnessing their growth and resilience is what I am most passionate about. I would love to support you in developing effective, healthy skills to overcome whatever obstacles you are facing.

My focus in therapy is to help you explore, with curiosity, the relationships, beliefs, and daily realities that are impacting your actions and choices. I believe that self-awareness is the first step towards accepting all the different parts of yourself with compassion, understanding what you need, and exploring where you can make steps toward change. I like to integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Christian Counseling, as well as other evidence-based practices to explore your core values and beliefs and how this impacts the story you are living.

Throughout major life transitions including divorce, remarriage, building a blended family, having children, and entering a new career field, my faith has been a foundational guiding light through it all. If you would like to incorporate your faith into the therapeutic process and utilize the strengths this can bring, I would be honored to come alongside you. I look forward to meeting you!
