Mental Health For
Athletic Families

Youth sports creates unique pressures that most therapists don't understand. I do — because I live it. I'm part of an athletic family, and I've seen firsthand how sports can bring families together or tear them apart.

As a licensed therapist in both Oregon and Washington, I specialize in helping young athletes, their parents, and their families navigate the mental and emotional challenges that come with competitive sports.

Currently serving as Clinical Director at a mental health hospital, I bring a depth of experience to my work with families. I've seen the full spectrum of mental health challenges, and I know how to help.

Who I Help

👦

Young Athletes

Performance anxiety, confidence issues, burnout, identity questions, team dynamics, injury recovery, and building mental resilience for competition.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parents

Managing expectations, supporting without pressuring, dealing with coaches and politics, balancing sports with family life, and processing your own sports experiences.

💑

Couples & Families

Alignment on athletic goals, time and money decisions, communication about expectations, sibling dynamics, and keeping relationships strong through busy seasons.

How I Work

Therapy isn't about someone telling you what to do. It's about having a safe space to work through challenges with someone who understands what you're facing.

I bring a practical, solution-focused approach. We'll identify what's actually causing problems and develop strategies that work in real life — not just in theory.

What to Expect

  • First Session
    We'll talk about what's going on and determine if we're a good fit.
  • Ongoing Work
    Regular sessions to work through issues and build skills.
  • Practical Tools
    Strategies you can actually use — at games, at home, in life.
  • Confidential
    Everything we discuss stays between us.
