Athletes are often treated like superhumans. They give their sport 110%, dedicating countless hours to training, finding time to recover, sacrificing moments with loved ones, and managing their lives outside of sport, all while repeating this routine daily. Being an athlete can be exhausting and isolating. We often overlook the human in the grind it takes to become a high-performing athlete. Let me be the first to say you do not have to cope with the stress, anxiety, and pressure of being an athlete alone.

Through a collaborative, warm, and authentic approach, I hope to learn more about you as a human and an athlete, encompassing all your unique experiences and identities. I embrace a holistic style, considering how the brain, mind, and body impact your overall wellness. In our work together, I will emphasize that you are the author and expert of your life. My goal is to provide space for you to explore who you are now, where you want to be and empower you to take action to live your life authentically.

Through exploration and finding the right tools and strategies that best fit your needs, we will work toward building a life that gives you meaning and fulfillment.

Experience - I earned my B.A. in Psychology at Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina, where I was also a member of the 7-time NCAA Division 2 championship women’s swim team. Go Royals! During my undergraduate work, I co-facilitated groups of first-year collegiate athletes and led discussions around transitioning to college life.

I am currently a fourth-year Counseling Psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Northern Colorado (UNCO) in Greeley. Over the past three years, I have trained at UNCO’s Psychological Services Clinic, directly serving college students and the Northern Colorado community. I have gained experience providing individual counseling and facilitating cognitive assessments. I am excited to continue my training this year at Athlete Insight and challenge myself to transfer the skills I have gained throughout my generalized training into the athlete population.
