Hello!

As a therapist specializing in working with athletes and high performers, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals unlock their full potential, both on and off the field. Drawing from my background as a former college lacrosse player and collegiate-level coach, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that athletes face in pursuit of excellence. Due to this lived experience, I decided to get my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in the hopes to be a resource for athletes and high performers. I since received my license to be to professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Ohio.

In my practice, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore and address the psychological barriers that may be hindering their performance. Through our work together, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, learn practical tools to enhance your mindset, and ultimately, achieve greater success and fulfillment in life.

Whether you're an athlete striving for your personal goals or an overall high performer aiming to reach new heights in your career, I am committed to supporting you on your journey to understand and master your mind. Together, we will unlock your full potential and pave the way for lasting holistic success.

Why are you the best counselor to support my mental health journey?

I feel as though I am not your typical therapist. I bring an authentic and fun approach to sessions. I utilize talk-therapy where I make you feel like you are just chatting with a friend. However, I understand that every client is different therefore, I make your experience with me completely specific to you. I have found that with this approach my clients feel empowered and supported through all that life throws their way.

As a former collegiate athlete, I understand how being a student athlete can take a toll on your mind and mental health. That is why I am here to work with you. I believe that with my empathy-first approach and mental health expertise, I can help you navigate through the unique experience of being a student athlete.

What Clients Say

"Working with Carlie has made a tremendous impact on my mental approach to athletics and life in general. When I first met with Carlie, I was truly in a bad place mentally. As a professional athlete, and a chronic over-thinker, there is a lot of pressure to perform that inevitably leads to anxiety. I felt like I was unable to control this anxiety, and powerless to counter the negative thought processes I experienced so frequently. Carlie helped me completely change my perspective. We talked through my past experiences, identifying where my mental trauma stemmed from. Then over time we designed and implemented various strategies for combating negative thought patterns when they showed up in performance. It has been a long process but I feel night and day different then when I first started working with Carlie, and I owe a lot of that change to our sessions and the perspective she has provided. I also have noticed the difference in my life outside of sports as well - from focusing on my priorities, organizing my schedule better, and generally living more present, to name just a few. From flirting with the idea of quitting my sport due to the state of my mental game to now feeling rejuvenated and energized to tackle the struggles when they come up, I am very thankful for my work with Carlie!"
