My Journey

With over a decade of experience, I have worked with various sports teams and organizations, including UNLV Athletics and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, providing counseling and sport psychology services. Based in Reno, NV, I offer my expertise to individuals throughout the state of Nevada.

I specialize in unlocking the potential of young athletes, coaches, college/elite athletes, and business professionals through individual mental health counseling and performance enhancement consulting.

During my two-year tenure as an Athletic Psychologist for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Department, I developed an understanding of the mental health and mental performance challenges of Division I athletes competing at the highest level. Additionally, I spent two years serving as the Director of Counseling and Sport Psychology for UNLV Athletics, overseeing and providing mental health and mental performance services for 500 Division I athletes and 16 teams.  I have provided services to both professional and olympic athletes in my private practice, and performed public speaking engagements as a commencement speaker (Feather River College) and for the Las Vegas Aces WNBA Mental Health Summit.
