Professional Bio

Licensed psychologist dedicated to supporting the mental health, academic success, and athletic performance of college students and athletes. My work centers on helping students better understand the factors that influence their learning, attention, and performance in the classroom and on the field. With 10 years of experience in higher education, I specialize in psychological evaluations that translate clinical data into actionable support strategies to enhance performance and wellbeing.

My Areas of Interest Include:
• Clinical Assessment: ADHD, learning disabilities, social and emotional concerns, and performance-related issues.
• Student-Athlete Mental Health: Supporting student-athletes as they navigate intersecting personal, academic, social, and physical demands of college sports.
• Systems of Care: Collaborating with accessibility services, sports medicine, academic advising, and other campus partners to create cohesive, effective support plans.

Evidence-based psychological evaluations are foundational to student wellness because they provide a clear, data-driven roadmap for support. By translating clinical data into actionable strategies, I help universities strengthen systems of care and foster more resilient, supported, and successful students.
