About My Clients

Do you find yourself doing everything “right”, but not improving ? Do you struggle to compete the way you do in training? Do you often use negative self talk, beat yourself up, or compare to others? Often, we get in our own way by how we respond. I work with the Institute of Sports Performance and we help the best athletes in the world excel by harnessing mental toughness. I help athletes of all levels and ages overcome the unique challenges that sport presents, to succeed in and out of sport.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in treating former or current athletes at all performance levels and ages by guiding athletes to build their mental toughness and ultimate edge over the competition. I help athletes, parents, and coaches manage performance anxiety, low self esteem, injury trauma, and more. By creating goals, routines, skills, and balance, you become your best in and out of the arena. My background in sports performance, youth development, family systems, substance abuse, and relational therapy uniquely positions me to help in a variety of ways. I utilize performance strategies to decrease negative self talk, overcome mental blocks, mentally recover from injury and more. We can tackle issues like family, teammate or coach conflict, unhealthy coping skills like substance use, self harm, or disordered eating with my background and approach. My goal is to collaborate with my clients, expand on existing skills, and implement helpful change for you to reach your full potential.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have been and continue to be a life-long athlete. I believe that every current, former, and aspiring athlete has a special skill set that deserves to be valued, honored, and fostered. Sometimes, the pressures, stressors, and distractions common in high stakes arenas can bring out the struggling self in even the most talented performers. Building a strong character, a solid toolbox of coping skills, and integration of self both in and out of sport is imperative to success. My athletic career combined with my professional mental health training has helped me understand that peak performance encompasses much more than physical ability. I am enthusiastic about working with athletes, their families, and coaches at all performance levels, ages, and sports. I am excited to help athletes reach their peak potential by assisting them in tackling academic demands, overcoming sports injuries, working through team issues and more.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
