Come pull up a chair and have a seat at my table.

You will get to know me more through the stories I have to tell. And above all else, you’ll get to know my heart.

I was born and raised in Southern California. I played soccer at the University Idaho and am now living in Dallas, Texas. I am a Certified Athletic Trainer who helps Division I Student-Athletes grow in their health + wellness.

I designed an approach in my practice to come alongside others as I have been coached and mentored over these years. All the methods that I have found along the way to help me navigate trials, tribulations, life on the mountaintop and everywhere in between.

I was coached by some phenomenal coaches and mentored by some of the greatest people I know. Each person along the way has helped shape who I am today. It truly takes a village.

So I set out to create a holistic coaching philosophy to allow you to not do it alone either. A safe place to be encouraged, mentored, strengthen, and coached.

I grew up with multiple coaches in both soccer and track, mentors, strength and conditioning coaches, trainers, spiritual leaders, and amazing support in my corner. They all played a crucial role in allowing me to accomplish my dream of playing collegiate soccer. I then took what I learned and set out to play in college. I was then surrounded by great support from my teammates, coaches, professors, mentors, and leaders.

I went into the field of athletic training in the collegiate setting to help student-athletes navigate pressure, find rhythms of balance, and to find true identity. I was then met with another great village there.

As a female soccer player, I was able to find my rhythm of growth because of the great people I had alongside me. I redefined my level of success, strengthened my resilience, and advocated for those around me to do the same.

Community is so important, and I know we cannot do it alone. There was a gap that I wanted to fill in the collegiate space, between coaches + athletes. All people need support, + every athlete needs to know that they are valued off + on the field no matter what. This is another principle in my philosophy.

I am passionate about optimizing people’s personal life, health, wellness holistically. I want to help you step into the life that you have been called to live, as the best version of yourself! This is the space where I reside and my hope abounds.
