As a licensed sport psychologist, I help athletes and high performers overcome mental barriers and reach their potential. Whether you’re facing performance anxiety, injury recovery, self-doubt, or burnout, I offer evidence-based strategies to boost confidence, focus, motivation, and emotional resilience. I also provide psychological evaluations. Ready to strengthen your mental game? Let’s work together to help you excel in sport and life.
I provide both in-person consultations and, as a PSYPACT-licensed provider, telehealth services for clients in participating states such as Ohio and North Carolina. Additionally, for athletes and individuals in Wisconsin, I offer psychological testing, including ADHD assessments, cognitive evaluations, and return to play concussion evaluations.
Ready to elevate your mindset and achieve your goals? Whether you're aiming to sharpen your performance, navigate obstacles, or seeking psychological assessment, I provide tailored support to help you excel. If you have questions about individual counseling or team-based mental performance coaching, connect with me—let’s discover what’s possible for you.
