Relationships, Identity & Legacy
Sports often bring opportunity, purpose, connection, and accomplishment. Participation in sports can also influence relationships, family roles, identity, and the way individuals and families experience success, disappointment, sacrifice, and transition throughout life.
For many families, athletics become more than an activity. Over time, it can become woven into a family's identity, routines, relationships, and hopes for the future. While these experiences can be deeply meaningful, they can also create unique challenges that deserve attention and support.
I work with couples, adult children, parents, families, and athletes whose lives have been shaped by sports and athletic achievement. Together, we can explore relationships, navigate change, and create meaningful lives and lasting legacies throughout every stage of life.

A Collaborative Approach
My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, and relationship-focused approaches. Together, we will strengthen important relationships, clarify values, and build a life that reflects what matters most to you.
Moving Forward with Purpose
The lessons learned through sports often extend far beyond competition. The experiences, relationships, sacrifices, and values developed along the way can influence individuals and families for years to come.
Therapy offers an opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and intention.
