My Approach

I believe in a holistic approach to mental wellness and performance enhancement. Drawing from evidence-based practices and personalized coaching techniques, I collaborate with my clients to develop strategies that address their specific needs and goals. Whether it's managing performance anxiety, navigating career transitions, or enhancing team dynamics, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.

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.

Let’s get to work.

  • 1:1 counseling tailored targeting areas such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal concerns, coping skills, relationship issues, self-esteem and adjustment-related issues.

  • We will build a personalized mental training plan that involves strategies and ideas to practice outside of the session, and see if ongoing work with me will fit your needs.

  • Get the support you deserve to build a high performance culture. In our coach consultation sessions, we discuss your goals, perceived challenges, and explore different ways to improve both you and your team's mental game. These sessions can either be done 1-on-1, or with an entire coaching staff.

  • I am able to speak on topics related to sport and performance psychology, coaching education, and student-athlete mental health.
