How I Work With Students
Throughout my training, I have developed a deep passion for helping all students. I value creating a therapeutic relationship which encompasses vulnerability, openness, and honesty. I hope the space that we co-create can be a place of safety, trust, and challenge.
A particular group of students I deeply resonate with are student-athletes. As a former Division I rugby player and clinician who has worked with numerous teams, individuals, and coaches, I understand the often-competing roles that athletes must take on. I hope to support athletes through the issues they may face ranging from sport and performance concerns to life concerns to mental health concerns, or a combination of these. I approach my work with athletes from Cognitive Behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy lens.
While I have specialty interest in working with student-athletes, I do work with all students. I am passionate about helping students with issues related to adjustment to college, stress, depression, anxiety, identity, emotional regulation, and trauma and PTSD.
About Me
