I founded Clear Minds Brave Hearts Counseling, LLC with the intent to help individuals find more purpose, ease, and alignment in their lives. The name was inspired by the mantra from the football coach in Friday Night Lights: “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose." Having a focused mind and courageous spirit will lead you toward your path of success and allow you to be unstoppable on and off the playing field, especially in times of tribulation, uncertainty, and pain.

I have a specialty in working with current and former student-athletes, particularly athletes who struggle with anxiety, perfectionist tendencies and disordered eating and body image concerns. As a former high school and collegiate student-athlete and current high school sports coach, I have firsthand experience with the challenges of balancing various school, sports, and life commitments. In my professional work, I help current and former student-athletes break down feelings of shame, perfectionism, and anxiety and view themselves through a holistic and empowered lens.

We’ll talk about mental performance and how you can optimize your mental game on the playing field, but we won’t leave out your mental health. When was the last time you truly felt like yourself? What’s really going on inside your head when you have “a bad game” on the field, court, or track? You are worth investing in your mental health and wellness, and your struggles do not need to be experienced in isolation.
