I help athletes and creatives strengthen their mental game and show up as their full selves. You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone. Let’s get you back to you.
Through mindfulness, therapy, and real conversations, I guide high performers in building confidence, focus, and balance—on and off the field.
If you’re feeling off—like your confidence’s been shaken or the pressure’s just too much—you’re not alone. I create space for high performers to breathe, reset, and move forward with more ease. When you’re ready, I’m here.

High performers and couples working with me usually report feeling more confident in their teamwork, more awareness of their performance routines, improved relationships with family, lovers, friends, coaches and themselves. They also report feeling like they can manage their anxiety better by finding the way to experience happy moments in life.

Being in the moment without judgement is one of the hardest things for us to do. We will give you the opportunity to create a sense of self awareness to discover new tools and solutions. I read a lot of books and will recommend many during the process. I may also help you create a playlist to give you many ways to connect with yourself & others.
