More Than What You Do.
Making space to figure out who you are, not just who you're supposed to be.
Individual therapy for young adults, athletes, and former athletes with a clinical and sport psychologist in Washington, DC, offering virtual therapy across 40+ PSYPACT states.
You Don't Have to Have It All Figured Out.
Maybe you're navigating a major life transition, struggling with relationships, or questioning what you want your future to look like. Maybe you've spent years meeting expectations, achieving goals, or being the person everyone else can count on, only to realize you're not entirely sure what you need.
Or maybe you're an athlete who knows how to push through challenges in your sport but is finding that the same approach doesn't always work when it comes to your mental health.
Whatever brings you here, therapy offers space to better understand yourself, work through difficult experiences, and build a life that feels meaningful to you.
You don't need to be in crisis, have a diagnosis, or know exactly what you want to work on to get started.
Therapy for Young Adults and Life Transitions
Your twenties and early adulthood can bring exciting opportunities alongside a lot of uncertainty. Whether you're in college, starting your career, navigating relationships, or trying to figure out who you are outside of other people's expectations, this stage of life can feel overwhelming.
I work with young adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, identity, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
Our work focuses on understanding the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, developing greater self-awareness, and making choices that align with what actually matters to you.
How I Can Help
Therapy for Athletes & Former Athletes
Being an athlete can shape the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. It can also create unique challenges around performance, expectations, identity, and self-worth.
As a clinical and sport psychologist, I integrate principles of sport and performance psychology into psychotherapy, helping athletes address concerns such as performance anxiety, confidence, perfectionism, mental blocks, injury-related stress, burnout, and mental health.
I also work with former athletes navigating retirement, changes in identity, complicated relationships with their sport, and the process of building a meaningful life beyond competition.
Whether you're actively competing or haven't stepped onto the mat, field, or court in years, there's room to explore all of who you are—not just who you are as an athlete.
Cheerleading Mental Health & Tumbling Blocks
Cheer holds a particularly meaningful place in my work. Having spent years as a competitive (CALI) and collegiate (UNC-Chapel Hill) cheerleader before becoming a psychologist, I understand the culture, demands, and complexities of the sport from both personal and professional perspectives.
I specialize in helping cheerleaders navigate tumbling mental blocks, performance anxiety, confidence, perfectionism, burnout, and mental health concerns.
My work also extends beyond performance. I support athletes processing difficult experiences within cheerleading, navigating complicated coaching or team dynamics, adjusting to retirement, and exploring their identity outside the sport.
I recognize how deeply meaningful cheerleading can be, while also understanding that an athlete's well-being must extend beyond their performance.
