About My Clients

I'm open to a broad client base but specialize in college students, pro athletes & their family members. I ran the mental health services for UW athletics and am the consulting clinician for the MLB & the NHL. I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy the way you thought it might. Let's figure out who you are outside achievement.

My Background and Approach

I offer telehealth to adults in Tennessee/Washington. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, an evidence-based practice that focuses on Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Effectiveness. I work with you to find the balance of thoughts, feelings and skills to build a life worth living beyond grades, trophies or awards. Clients often come to me asking “WHY am I like this????" Well, let's figure it out together.
