I'm a licensed clinical social worker and certified sport social worker supporting high-performing individuals and teams who want to perform under pressure without losing themselves.

I learned grit early. When my mother passed away when I was seven, I had to find strength before I had the language for resilience.

Sports shaped me too. I learned discipline, sacrifice, and respect for the game. Later, coaching youth soccer and raising my own athlete revealed just how much the environment around a young person matters, for their confidence, their wellbeing, and their relationship with the sport itself.

At the same time, I was building a clinical career rooted in equity and systems change, working across organizations including federal institutions. I saw firsthand how high-pressure environments can quietly erode the people inside them, even the strongest ones.

As a licensed clinical social worker and certified sport social worker, I've spent years inside high-pressure spaces, from sports fields to federal offices, watching those environments either build people up or break them down. Guided by Grit exists to make sure 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.
