Your confidence has plummeted. You got injured, lost your starting spot, performance has suffered, or you retired and don’t know who you are or what to do next. You used to feel on top of the world, but now, decision making feels harder than ever. You feel irritable, sad, lonely, and out of sorts. You ask yourself "Why me?" When you retire, keep messing up a skill, have mental blocks, get anxious, or get injured…what the hell do you do? Cue working with me.
We don’t always meet our goals, and for us perfectionists, that is an ego killer. You already sacrificed a normal life with friends/family, hobbies, other income, you know a life? You can’t lose this, too.
Mental toughness and skills are 80% of success. You have a team for the physical concerns so, let's get you someone for the mental concerns, too! Together we create a customized plan to crush goals and get back to what you do best, WIN.

Importance of a Sport Therapist -
You feel misunderstood, lonely, and behind in life. On top of that, you went through trauma(s); making everything seem negative and shitty. You have these goals, but can't seem to meet them. You feel trapped in an exhaustive loop where happiness doesn’t frequently exist and you keep making the same “mistakes.” Trauma and anxiety take stabs at your self-esteem and you just can’t seem to truly relax. Cue EMDR.
EMDR decreases your symptoms quickly! It allows you to believe you ARE enough, lovable, and deserving. It minimizes worry, sadness, anger, doubt, and grief. Relief happens here. To learn more about EMDR, read my blog about it here
I also work great with clients who want healthier relationships. Together, we heal attachment wounds, establish healthy boundaries, increase self-awareness, and make LASTING changes. Discover your attachment style here

EMDR & Trauma Therapy
Trauma is life-altering and makes us believe untrue things about ourselves. With EMDR, we heal and dissolve symptoms like, anger, anxiety, depression, negative self-image, panic attacks, fatigue, and relationship concerns.
For Trauma resources, click here.
Grief/Depression Therapy
Not all grief work is about death. Sometimes we end a relationship that was important, move away from friends/family, struggle with life’s changes and our own identity, or set firm boundaries with people who used to take advantage of us. No matter the type, it’s hard.
Grief is tricky. Contact Stephanie to figure it out here
Sport Psych For Athletes
Low confidence, anxiety, injury, and retirement are just a few of the challenges athletes face. Together we explore your concerns, identify solutions, create realistic goals, and practice new skills to get you back in the game!

Burnout Therapy
Life is so hard. It’s frustrating & isolating when we see other people have “fun” without the problems we seem to face so often. You want relief. Sometimes this requires a break from work, setting boundaries, and making changes you didn’t think were possible.
Tap for resources on Burnout.
Therapy for Anxiety
Feeling weighed down by thoughts, expectations, to-dos, and worry? Therapy is a great way to challenge and modify our thinking so we aren’t in our head so much. Therapy allows for new coping skills – ones that actually help. Sorry, no self care face masks here.
For Anxiety resources, click here.
Relationship Therapy
Single AF? Apps suck? You and your partner aren’t communicating well? Learn how to heal attachment wounds and communicate in healthy ways. In therapy, we explore relationship patterns and how attachment trauma impacts our relationships.

Get to know me!
I’m originally from Louisville, KY (Go Cards)! I moved to TX in 2017 to begin my journey to become a psychotherapist and sports therapist. I’m not the therapist who’s going to ask “how does that make you feel?” I’m the therapist who’s going to call you out, laugh about it, and then help you find a better path. Balance
I was the kid in high school who had “friends” in every group. I was a nerd who found pride in my 4.0 GPA, a jock who wore my jersey on game days, got invited to “popular” kids parties, but also loved a kickback with the “rejects.” I’m still like this today. I’m by far the biggest Harry Potter nerd you’ll ever meet, but also love talking smack on the volleyball court. These experiences helped me to relate to anyone.
