Mental Health Counseling for Adults and Athletes

Our Approach
At Northbound Wellness, I blend clinical counseling with a practical, skills-based approach. I work with motivated adults and youth navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression, and with athletes who want to strengthen their mental game. Together, we set clear goals, build tools you can use right away, and create a plan that fits your real life.

Who I Am
As a limited licensed clinical counselor and former Division 1 athlete, I bridge the gap between high-level performance and emotional well-being. I provide a warm, professional space for adults and athletes to navigate life's hurdles with strength, helping you cultivate a more focused mind and resilient spirit. Together, we will build the internal tools necessary for you to feel truly confident and capable, whether you are facing the pressures of competitive sport or the complexities of daily life.
Services I Offer
I offer individual counseling tailored to two main groups: motivated adults and athletes.
Counseling for Adults
Support for adults navigating career or life changes, anxiety, and depression. We’ll clarify what you want next, work through stuck patterns, and build tools to feel more grounded and confident.
Counseling for Athletes
Counseling and mental performance support for athletes, plus guidance for parents and caregivers. We’ll focus on confidence, focus, and handling pressure—on and off the field.
Common Challenges We Address
It is natural to feel drained or blocked when navigating life's demands. Whether in the arena or the office, we tackle these hurdles together:
Real-World Pressure
Managing pre-game nerves, social stress, or pressure during work and school events.
Winning Self-Doubt
Facing self-doubt after failure in games, the office, academics, or your home life.
Attention & Clarity
Difficulty maintaining presence during games, office deadlines, study hours, or routines.
Inner Demands
Overwhelming pressure to be flawless in sport, work, school, and within your own personal life.
Life & Sport Fatigue
Drained by the relentless load of sports, academics, work, and family caregiver duties.
Pivotal Shifts
Managing team moves, relocations, new roles, graduation, or a shift in relationships.
