I am a mental game coach for golfers and other athletes, as well as an experienced clinical psychologist. I teach mindfulness techniques essential to peak performance. My long-running psychology practice focuses on children, adolescents, and adults. My mental game skills, psychology background, depth of knowledge about the neuroscience of performance, and my breadth of experience working with youth have enabled me to work successfully as a mental game coach for many junior, high school, and college golfers and athletes in other sports.
I refined my approach to mental game coaching while working with my mentor and associate, Dr. Joseph Parent, founder of Zen Golf. I also hold 2 advanced Sport's Psychology certifications. My services include golf mental game coaching, performance coaching, workshops, speaking engagements, individual psychotherapy, parent support, and parent/athlete sessions.
I welcome a call or email for an initial consult to see if my services are right for you.
