Athletic Consulting Services
Expert consulting and mental health education for teams, coaches, and athletic departments. Move beyond "toughing it out" to create environments where athletes thrive.
Performance Starts With The Mind
In modern athletics, physical training is rigorous, but mental health support often lags behind. I believe that a healthy athlete is a high-performing athlete.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and former NCAA Division I athlete, I bridge the gap between clinical expertise and the locker room. My consulting services are designed to equip teams with the language and tools to handle anxiety, improve communication, and prevent crises before they happen. We don't just address problems; we build a culture of wellness.
Athletes/Teams:
I facilitate seasonal team meetings and workshops designed to:
Educate: Teach athletes to recognize signs of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
Empower: Provide healthy coping skills to maintain positive mental health on and off the field.
Normalize: Break the stigma around asking for help and prioritize self-care as a performance tool.

Identify: Spot early warning signs of mental health

How We Work Together
I aim to make access to care as seamless as possible, which is why I accept major insurance plans. Please reach out so we can confirm your specific coverage or discuss the payment option that works best for you.
Customized to Your Sport
Every team dynamic is different. Whether you need a one-time pre-season workshop, ongoing monthly consultation for your coaching staff, or crisis intervention, I tailor my curriculum to fit your specific needs.
Real World Application
This is not just theory. My trainings provide actionable tools, scripts for difficult conversations, protocols for referrals, and daily habits for athletes, that can be implemented immediately at practice and in competition.
