I founded Built to Rise Counseling & Performance because I believe true health is about more than treating symptoms—it's about understanding how the mind, body, and the systems that support them work together.

Throughout my career as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've had the privilege of walking alongside individuals during some of life's most difficult moments while helping them discover resilience, healing, and hope. At the same time, my lifelong passion for athletics, coaching, nutrition, and human performance has shown me that lasting growth happens when mental wellness, physical health, recovery, and lifestyle are approached as one interconnected system—not separate pieces.

That belief became the foundation of The Built to Rise Method™.

Rather than focusing on a single diagnosis, symptom, or performance goal, I partner with each individual to create a personalized pathway that integrates evidence-informed mental wellness, nutrition, recovery, movement, performance psychology, and lifestyle strategies. Every recommendation is thoughtfully tailored to your goals, your lifestyle, and the season of life you're in.

In addition to my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring more than 30 years of coaching experience working with youth athletes, teams, and individuals, along with advanced training in sports psychology, sports nutrition, and strength and conditioning. Those experiences have reinforced one simple truth: whether someone is pursuing better health, navigating life's challenges, or striving for peak performance, meaningful change begins with understanding the whole person.

My goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, challenged, and empowered—not just to overcome obstacles, but to continually grow into the healthiest, strongest, and most resilient version of yourself.

Because every journey is different.

And every person is Built to Rise.
