About
As a former athlete, I uniquely understand the pressures that face athletes and performers. Being an athlete affects your physical and mental health, social life and personal identity, and it provides structure and motivation in life. Athletes historically have neglected and downplayed mental health issues and the mental side of performing, though they are affected by life stressors just like everybody else. I understand this dynamic because I lived it as a collegiate and professional soccer player prior to shifting to my career as a therapist.
