Unlock your highest potential…without hitting the wall.
Your go-to therapist and performance coach for athletes at every stage, breaking the myth that you must choose between mental health and athletic dreams – offering in-person and virtual therapy in the Colorado front range, and virtual coaching wherever you are.
You feel like you're falling behind—questioning how you fell off track. The stress, overwhelm … it’s like you’re missing every step.
You’re stuck wondering, “How do I get back to the version of me that was crushing PRs and had it all together?”
Your ambition has gotten you far and keeps you striving for greater … but now it feels like you’re falling through the cracks between your goals and the reality of where you are.
Imagine what life could feel like when you allow yourself to flow with this season.
You’re showing yourself compassion and patience, instead of pushing through like you’ve always been taught.
Prioritizing your mental health, which—surprise—leads to even greater achievements. And that heavy weight on your chest? It's lifted, just ... gone.
My mental health toolkit is full of science-backed evidence-based tools to help you train your mind and heal. Like…
-
→ Walk and Talk Therapy or Trail Therapy in the Colorado front range where the bilateral movement and time spent outdoors help your mind AND body work through what’s bugging you.
-
→ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
-
→ Mindful Self Compassion
-
→ Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
-
→ Ecotherapy
-
→ Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
As a lifelong runner from a family of athletes, paired with over 10 years in the mental health field, I’m here to bridge the gap between mental health goals and athletic achievement.
Why let another day slip by feeling like you’re falling behind?
Don’t spend another moment…
→ Feeling like you’re just not trying hard enough.
→ Questioning your self-worth, management skills, and capacity.
→ Letting the desire to be perfect and excellent 24/7 keep you in a loop of stress, disappointment, and shame.
→ Feel like you just need to “be better at managing your emotions.” on your own, when in reality, you need support and that’s normal.
→ Feeling stuck in an anxious and overwhelmed state with no clear way out.
→Feeling insecure about your identity in your current stage of life or motherhood.
→ Craving the external validation that you once soaked up in athletics, only to feel like it’s been yanked away leaving you lost.
