I've trained athletes and performers from all backgrounds on their mental game. From gymnasts to soccer players to college basketball teams to professional dancers, this kind of coaching truly is for everyone. I have my Master's Degree in Applied Sport Psychology from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro​ and my Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC) licensure through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology​. The CMPC® license is truly the gold standard for mental performance training, and I'm so proud to be able to provide the best option for athletes.

I grew to love the mental side of performance in my time as a D1 soccer player in North Carolina. In the midst of guiding myself along my own journey (my university didn't have a CMPC® like me)​,​ I took an elective Sport Psychology course and realized what I was doing for myself had a name: mental performance coaching. Fast forward a few years​,​ and I get to do the work I love with athletes of all ages and performance realms every day. Whether you're a high school football player​ or professional dancer, I'm passionate about providing mental skills to foster resilience and increased enjoyment.

Sessions are individualized to you and YOUR specific strengths and challenges. You don't need to prepare for our sessions-- just bring an open mindset! Some topics we may cover include confidence, performing under pressure, managing self-talk, having a healthy relationship with mistakes​/​failure, and emotional regulation. You can expect to walk away with at least one mental skill from our very first session. I aim to make the world of mental performance training tangible and concrete by teaching skills that you can say, "I did​/​didn't do [mental skill]" and "this skill did​/​didn't work." Athletes are hard-wired to *do*, not just talk, and I prioritize that in my work with clients.
