As a licensed psychologist and mental performance coach, I specialize in helping athletes and high performers break through mental barriers and reach their full potential. Whether you're dealing with performance anxiety, injury recovery, self-doubt, burnout, or the challenge of balancing multiple roles, I provide evidence-based tools and strategies to help you stay mentally strong and perform at your best. My approach emphasizes building core psychological skills, motivation, goal-setting, focus, confidence, and emotional regulation. In addition to performance work, I also conduct a variety of psychological evaluations.
I provide both in-person consultations and, as a PSYPACT-licensed provider, telehealth services for clients in participating states. Additionally, for athletes and individuals in Wisconsin, I offer psychological testing, including ADHD assessments, cognitive and memory evaluations, fitness-for-duty examinations, and competency assessments.
If you’re ready to elevate your mental game or in need of psychological testing, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions to learn more about my counseling services or team mental performance coaching.
