I am unable to accept new clients at this time. My work exists to help clients identify their strengths, then leverage those to realize their potential, all within a client-based focus. I specialize in performance psych, men's issues, and trauma (PTSD, domestic violence, bereavement, stress...). I have worked w/ U.S. Special Ops forces in Europe as well as being the sport psychologist for elite college student-athletes at the Univ of Arkansas and K-State. Prior to this I was a professor and academic author (Zone of Optimal Perf, Dev of Expert Performance).
I have experience working with clients confronting post-traumatic stress, eating disorders, men’s issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment, bereavement/loss, and career decisions, as well as performance/sport psychology challenges such as stress management, self-talk, confidence, focus/attention, and emotional regulation.
Whether you are experiencing a life challenge, or if you are an athlete, musician, executive, or scholar, your psychological functioning plays a major role in your quality of life. As a psychologist and mental skills coach I wish to help you build and maintain your psychological strength so that you perform consistently to the best of your abilities.
