My Story
Basketball has always been an important part of my life and a positive outlet. Through my work in therapeutic school settings, I’ve seen the power of sport build relationships, foster confidence, and create structured environments where young people can grow.
I currently work as a school adjustment counselor and assistant varsity basketball coach in Newton. My career has allowed me to combine my background in mental health and counseling with my passion for basketball and athlete development.
This program is an extension of that work- using basketball as a vehicle to develop skills, build confidence, and create meaningful connections. My goal is to help athletes improve as players while providing a positive environment where they feel supported, challenged, and empowered to grow.

Mission
Our mission is to help young athletes develop confidence, skills, and a love for the game by creating a positive environment where they can learn, make mistakes, and grow both on and off the court, without fear of failure.
Training Approach
I believe in identifying both the player's strengths and areas of growth, and tailoring instruction to each athlete, focusing on fundamentals, basketball IQ, and skills that translate to game situations. Through structured training, purposeful repetition, and real-time feedback, athletes develop the tools needed to compete with confidence and continue improving in a supportive and engaging environment.
