I pride myself on being more than just someone to listen, but someone to help you look at things a different way.
It all starts with a healthy mind, and a fresh perspective. From there, focusing on your well-being, mental and emotional health, and physical wellness comes into play like never before. You’re taking the first steps on a journey, but you’re not taking them alone.
Whatever obstacles and struggles someone may be going through in life, I consider it a privilege to help them deal with. I understand that the clients I see are entrusting me to give them the right resources to guide them down a new path, with a new perspective, so they can achieve their own goals. With a healthy balance of listening, guiding, and even learning, I take pride in using my own experience and resources to help people really start off on the right foot on that path. Let’s get started today by setting up a consultation!

As a former ice hockey goaltender and collegiate athlete, and mother to two youth athletes, I also understand the unique pressures and struggles athletes may face in their careers. I understand the importance of athletes and individuals of all ages having a professional teammate to walk alongside them in life to offer support in navigating life’s biggest questions and challenges on and off the playing field. I work with individuals and couples to tailor therapy to their specific needs and to work through personal and mental health concerns.
I strongly believe that the absence of disease does not necessarily equal a fulfilling life, we must also find meaning and create happiness within our lives. I hope in my journey with my clients, that I can help foster a greater sense of meaning and purpose. I also understand the importance of relationships to our health and well-being, and I work with clients to help improve relationships and communication with others. I hope in my work with my clients to help you better understand your experience, cope with emotions, and help bring your game or life itself to the next level. Our sessions will help in processing life events, exploring patterns of thought, and learning tools to increase awareness of your own needs as well as healthy ways to meet those needs.
As far as my work with couples, I have completed level one and level two trainings in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and utilize Gottman therapeutic methods in my work. I use techniques from my trainings to increase intimacy, create secure bonds, and strengthen a couple’s communication.
I consider all my clients to be more than just another name, or an appointment. My coaching is meant to be a completely individual experience, and I treat it as such, with deep compassion and absolutely no judgment. Not only do I want to provide support and encouragement for each of my clients, but it’s my goal to offer them practical resources that they can put into practice immediately in their lives. I use both modern approaches and tried and true methods to fit each client’s individual needs with understanding, no matter who they are, or their particular walk of life. Everyone can achieve more personal growth and strength, and it’s an honor to work on that together.
