Bridging The Gap

Counseling & Consulting, PLLC

Bridging the Gap between Mental & Physical Well-being

Working with athletes and high-stress professionals who are struggling with confidence, performance anxiety, burnout, or injury.

I help athletes and performance professionals in middle school, high school, college, adult, etc.—and I love this work because struggles in these competitive environments are often misunderstood.

Taking the step to care for yourself is an important one. 

Let's start this journey together.

To empower athletes of all levels to achieve peak performance and holistic well-being through comprehensive counseling and sports performance services.

Mission

To cultivate a culture of mental health awareness and advocacy within the sports community, where seeking support for mental and emotional challenges is normalized and celebrated as an essential component of athletic excellence.

We aim to push the boundaries of sports performance counseling and inspire athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the field through innovation, collaboration, and compassionate care.

Vision

It’s okay to do what is best for you

Mental health plays a big role in your overall well-being. When you’re mentally healthy, you are able to enjoy your life and the people in it, feel good about yourself, and deal with stress. It’s normal for your mental health to shift over time – we all face difficult situations in our lives.

Creating positive habits is a great way to support your mental health when you're doing well and helps you build skills to use if you do face mental health symptoms.
