Sport has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong recreational athlete, I experienced the discipline, camaraderie, and purpose that competition can provide—but I also came to understand the pressure that often accompanies it. The expectations to perform, the ways identity becomes intertwined with success, and the struggles that so often remain hidden behind achievement.
As an underrepresented person of color, athletics also taught me what it meant to seek belonging while navigating moments of invisibility and bias. Those experiences shaped not only my relationship with sport, but my understanding of the emotional realities people carry beneath the surface. They showed me that behind every performance is a person with a story that deserves to be seen.
Pursuing a career in social work felt like a natural extension of my own experiences. Today, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor with nearly two decades of experience in mental and behavioral health. For the past ten years, I have specialized in supporting athletes and individuals performing in high-pressure environments.
My work combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing—with mental performance strategies that strengthen focus, emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence. This integrated approach helps clients not only navigate life’s challenges but build the psychological foundation for sustained performance.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a trusted provider for organizations including the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), and the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports (ASWIS). I also speak nationally on athlete mental health, recovery, equity, and performance.
While these experiences have shaped my expertise, they reinforce a belief I’ve held from the very beginning: lasting performance is built on lasting well-being.
Whether you’re an athlete, executive, performer, or someone navigating the demands of a high-pressure life, my goal is the same—to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped to thrive, both personally and professionally.
