Navigating Identity After Sports: Support for Former Athletes
Leaving the structured, goal-driven world of sports can feel like stepping into the unknown. For many former athletes, this transition is marked by uncertainty, loss, and questions about identity and purpose. Who are you outside of your athletic achievements? Where do you belong in a world without the team, routines, and competition that once defined you? These are big questions, and you don’t have to face them alone. I specialize in helping former athletes rediscover themselves, reconnect with their passions, and rebuild a sense of purpose that extends beyond the playing field. Together, we’ll uncover the unique strengths that make you you—not just as an athlete, but as a whole, multifaceted individual.
​
Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious about the future, or unsure where to begin, I’m here to guide and support you. Through our work, you’ll learn to embrace a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with your values and aspirations.
​
Supporting Queer Relationships, Sexuality, and Kink
Exploring your identity and relationships can be an exciting yet deeply personal journey, especially within the queer and kink communities. I provide an affirming, nonjudgmental space where you can safely navigate these complex and meaningful aspects of your life. Whether you’re coming out, deepening your understanding of your sexual orientation or gender identity, or exploring dynamics within sexuality, we’ll work together to honor and celebrate your authentic self.
​
For couples, I specialize in supporting queer couples and those navigating nontraditional relationship structures, helping partners strengthen communication, build trust, and embrace the richness of their connections. My goal is to help you explore and express your identity confidently, authentically, and without fear. Let’s work together to cultivate clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.
​
Healing After Heartbreak: Support for Relationship Transitions
A breakup or significant shift in a relationship can leave you feeling disoriented, heartbroken, and questioning your sense of self. Whether you’re grieving a loss, coping with the fallout of a difficult separation, or navigating the uncertainty of life after a major change, I am here to help. Healing from heartbreak takes time, but you don’t have to face it alone.
​
Our sessions will focus on helping you process your emotions, rebuild your inner strength, and regain your confidence. Together, we’ll create a path forward that allows you to heal, grow, and thrive. By exploring the lessons from your experiences, you’ll discover resilience you didn’t know you had and step into a new chapter with clarity and purpose.
​
My Commitment to You
In every session, my focus is on helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered to take control of your story. Therapy is not just about addressing the challenges you face today—it’s about equipping you with the tools, insights, and confidence to live your most authentic life.
​
I am especially passionate about working with individuals from Black, Brown, LGBTQIA+, and other historically marginalized communities. Representation matters, and I am dedicated to creating a space where your identity and experiences are fully acknowledged, celebrated, and respected. Together, we’ll explore both the internal struggles you face and the external systems that impact your life, empowering you to reclaim your voice and create a future rooted in freedom, authenticity, and joy.
​
Your Journey Starts Here
Are you ready to take the first step toward healing and self-discovery? Whether you’re navigating a life transition, exploring your identity, or seeking support for anxiety and depression, I am here to walk alongside you. My practice is grounded in cultural competence, authenticity, and a deep belief in your power to grow and thrive.
Reach out today to begin your transformative journey. Together, we’ll uncover the hidden strengths within you, build resilience, and create the life you’ve always envisioned. You deserve a space to heal, grow, and fully embrace who you are—and I’m here to help you find it.
