I’m a therapist and coach helping high-performing individuals and teams perform under pressure without losing themselves. I learned grit early: when my mother passed away at seven, I had to find strength before understanding resilience.

Sports shaped me too. Coached by my father, I learned discipline, sacrifice, and respect for the game. Later, coaching youth soccer and supporting my own son revealed how critical coaching practices can impact confidence and wellbeing.

At the same time, I was building a clinical career rooted in equity and systems change, working across multiple organizations including federal institutions. I saw firsthand how high-pressure workplaces can undermine the wellbeing of high performers.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and U.S. Soccer Federation Certified Coach, I’ve seen how high-pressure spaces from sports fields to executive offices can either build people up or break them down. Guided by Grit exists to ensure it’s the former.

Who I Work With

• Athletes facing performance pressure, injury recovery, or the mental demands of competition.
• High Performing professionals navigating burnout, leadership stress, or the tension between outward success and inner struggle.
• Teams, Coaches, and Parents who want to build a culture of trust, resilience, and sustainable success. 
• Organizations and Schools looking to strengthen team collaboration, enhance performance, and foster a culture of resilience and well-being.

My Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe in meeting you where you are offering support, honest feedback, and at times, the directness needed to spark real change. I’m also not afraid to bring in humor, creativity, or mindset strategies that make the process more approachable and sustainable.

I draw from evidence-based practices and hands-on experience in therapy, coaching, and leadership, tailoring my approach to your needs to help individuals and groups turn pressure into purpose-driven performance.
