About Me

Sports, mental health, and performance have been lifelong passions of mine. As a former athlete and coach, I’ve seen firsthand how mindset and mental health can drive or hinder success. There were moments in my career when mental challenges held me back, and other times when my mental toughness became my greatest asset. I’ve felt the exhilaration of clinching college matches and the disappointment of missing game-winning goals. I’ve enjoyed undefeated streaks, and I’ve endured stretches when I contributed more to my opponents’ wins than I would have liked! Through these experiences, I realized that while challenges in sports and life are inevitable, how we choose to respond can turn them into deeply rewarding opportunities. Now, I’m dedicated to helping others harness their mental resilience to achieve their goals while simultaneously bringing both peace and joy into their pursuits.

Qualifications

I hold a Master’s degree in Behavioral Science Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy, equipping me with a strong foundation in understanding both individual and relational dynamics. I am also in the process of earning my Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) certification, further refining my expertise in sports psychology and performance enhancement. As a former NCAA Division 1 athlete and coach, I understand firsthand the unique challenges and pressures faced by competitors at all levels. This experience, coupled with my academic training, allows me to bridge the gap between theory and practice. I have spent years working with athletes, coaches, families, and teams, blending psychological insights with real-world sports experience to create tailored, evidence-based strategies for optimal mental and physical performance.
