Sport environments demand more than physical skill. Athletes, coaches, and leaders often operate in high-pressure spaces where performance expectations, identity, leadership responsibilities, and team dynamics intersect.

I provide mental health and performance support for athletes, leaders, and high-performing professionals navigating pressure, identity, and leadership demands.

Guided by Grit provides therapy and mental performance services for individuals, athletes, and teams in Maryland, Washington, DC, and via telehealth.

Youth sports can be incredibly rewarding, but they can also bring pressure, expectations, and emotional challenges for both athletes and families. I work with young athletes and their parents to help athletes build confidence, manage competition pressure, and maintain a healthy relationship with sport. Guidance is also available for parents who want to support their athlete’s wellbeing and long-term development.

As a licensed clinician and sport-informed practitioner, I bring both mental health expertise and experience working in high-performance environments.

Performance challenges rarely exist in isolation. They are shaped by relationships, leadership dynamics, expectations, and the broader culture surrounding athletes and teams.

My approach integrates individual mental health support with a systems perspective, helping athletes, coaches, and programs build resilience, strengthen communication, and sustain performance over time.
