Whether you’re balancing school and competition, managing the pressures of a professional season, or navigating life after sport, you deserve a space to be supported. Sports counseling helps athletes care for their mind, build resilience, and navigate challenges so they can thrive in sport and in life.

Because your mental health is part of your performance.

At its core, sports counseling creates space for the athlete to be human. It’s a supportive space to think, feel, connect, and heal — the kind of space performance culture often overlooks.

Through an integrative approach, we work together to:

Manage performance pressure, anxiety, and self-doubt
Navigate transitions, injuries, and identity changes
Build healthy coping skills and emotional balance
Strengthen focus, confidence, and mindset — on and off the field
Cultivate skills for optimal performance

Thriving as an athlete starts with caring for the person underneath the uniform.

Student-Athletes:
Balancing academics, competition, and personal growth while learning to manage expectations.
Professional & Elite Athletes:
Navigating pressure, visibility, and performance demands while staying grounded in who you are.
Injured or Rehabilitating Athletes:
Coping with frustration, fear, and uncertainty during recovery — and finding purpose in the pause.
Transitioning or Retired Athletes:
Redefining identity, purpose, and daily routines when sport no longer defines your life.

Every stage of the athletic journey brings its own mental and emotional challenges, and each deserves care and attention.

From Athlete to Mental Health Professional

Before I became a Mental Health Professional, I was an athlete—playing basketball at Houston Baptist University (now Houston Christian University). I chased goals, tried to manage expectations, and experienced firsthand the challenge of balancing performance with personal well-being. My time as a Graduate Assistant gave me a glimpse into supporting athletes from the other side, shaping not only how I understand athletes, but why I am deeply passionate about this work.

Sports have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a family rooted in athletics—my dad played sports, my mom played basketball at the University of Texas, my brother is in the NFL, my sister plays collegiate volleyball, and the youngest is just beginning her journey. Growing up in this environment showed me how vital mental health is—not just for peak performance, but for sustaining well-being beyond the game.

Today, as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and former collegiate athlete, I support athletes across all levels—from student-athletes to professionals—in strengthening the mind behind their performance and caring for the person behind the uniform. I also design and facilitate mental health workshops for Division I student-athletes, offering practical coping tools and evidence-based strategies they can use both on and off the field. As an Athlete Mental Health Research Fellow with Athletes for Hope (AFH), I contributed to the development of the Center for Athlete Wellbeing—a first-of-its-kind, athlete-centered hub for mental health and well-being that offers expert-verified, evidence-based guidance and practical tools to support athlete mental wellness, both in and out of sport.

Having experienced both sides of the game—as a former collegiate athlete and Graduate Assistant—I meet athletes where they are, with empathy and understanding. My approach combines human-centered care with evidence-based therapeutic modalities to help athletes understand their thoughts and emotions, manage stress and pressure, and face performance challenges with confidence and calm.
