I’m a licensed mental health counselor and sport psychology professional committed to supporting student-athletes at the University of Vermont. My work sits at the intersection of mental health, sport performance, and overall well‑being. I specialize in working with collegiate athletes, teams, and coaches to build the mental and emotional skills that drive both performance and personal growth. My clinical background includes specific training in eating disorder treatment for athletes and adult populations, allowing me to support individuals navigating complex challenges with nuance and care.
