About My Clients

As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), I work with athletes, performers, and teams on mental skills training, leadership, and character development. I also specialize in relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, ADHD and learning disabilities, life transitions, PTSD, EMDR, and identity concerns with adolescents and adults.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Psychologist, National Registered Health Service Psychologist (HSP), Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), and an adjunct professor for the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology. I was previously the Sport Psychologist for the US Men's Alpine Ski Team and Vanderbilt University, and Associate Director and Training Director for the University of Oklahoma Athletics Department Psychological Resources for OU Student-Athletes (PROS). I earned my Counseling Psychology Doctorate from the University of Northern Colorado, my Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Denver, and my Bachelor's degree from Colorado State University. .

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe you are more than your symptoms, your diagnosis, or your stats. Whether you’re an athlete, a professional, or someone trying to get through a hard season, you deserve to be seen as a whole person. I value honesty, curiosity, and collaboration, and I’ll be direct with you while staying on your side. Getting answers, through testing or therapy, should leave you understanding yourself better, not feeling labeled. I’m committed to affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients and for people of every background, body, and identity. My goal is to help you build the skills and self-understanding to handle pressure, recover from setbacks, and live in line with what matters most to you.
