Meet the Team

Life often presents with challenges that can catch us off guard or temporarily throw us off course. My approach is to meet the person where they are at and focus on what can help provide that individual a renewed sense of grounding in the here and now, a better understanding of past experiences, and a more holistic relationship with their identity.

As a former D1 athlete and due to my own experiences with injury and the impact on identity as an athlete, I pursued specialized training and acquired the Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) designation through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). I enjoy providing support for athletes who may be looking for "that extra edge" in their competition and for high performers looking to execute at their very best, consistently. I also provide support to folks negotiating their identities that could be impacted by injury, transition in sport (new settings/teams, retirement), team dynamics, and other realms of performative excellence that individuals strive for outside of athletic realms.

Regarding my clinical work, I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Colorado and Massachusetts and credentialed for telehealth practice through PsyPact. I have experience working with mood disorders, grief and loss, performance enhancement, transition out of sport, injury, relationship difficulties, gender identity, and sexual orientation to name a few.

The move to Colorado in 2020 was prompted to pursue a full time position within athletics as a sport psychologist at CU Boulder. Prior to joining CU, I was the Assistant Director of Clinical Operations at Keene State College’s Wellness Center, Counseling Services, where I previously completed my predoctoral internship training. I have also worked in private practice for over six years with athletes pursuing Olympic and Paralympic trials in addition to pro and retired pro athletes. At present, I am a Psychological Services Provider out of the Colorado Springs Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (OPTC) supporting the mental health and performance of our TeamUSA athletes.

I earned my bachelor’s of science in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy from The University at Buffalo: The State University of New York in 2009 and was a member of the rowing team. I completed a Masters in Psychology with a concentration in sport and exercise psychology as well as my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2011 and 2016, respectively.

When not working and prior to the endurance event that is being a parent of tiny beings, I previously enjoyed involvement in numerous endurance based events, including my completion of the 2019 Lake Placid Ironman. I enjoy snowboarding, outdoor activities like camping or hiking, live music, walking our dog Shadow to various local parks, cooking and baking, and spending time with my family.
