I coach: Virtual 1:1
Having the opportunity to be part of someone’s journey while they pursue their passions, seek self growth, explore their limitations, and tackle their fears, fills me with joy and gratitude. After eleven years of being a mental health therapist, I have had ample opportunities to empathize with others, learn various mental techniques, identify strengths, and give feedback. As a coach, I have been able to use many of these skills to better understand athletes and build solid relationships. I look forward to getting to know you and coming up with an individualized plan to help you reach your goals and chase your dreams.
Approximately 21 years ago, I fell in love with running. I participated in indoor track, outdoor track, and cross country in high school. I continued running in college and found myself enjoying some of the longer distances on trail. As an adult athlete, I found myself drawn to ultramarathons and within the first year and a half of this sport, I competed in my first 200-miler race in the Cascade Mountains and won it. Over the last four years, I have completed 29 ultramarathons, including the Triple Crown of 200s. I also have recently revisited marathon training and finished Eugene marathon in 3:03 back in April.
