Specializations, Areas of Expertise, or Focus Areas (if any)

- Healthy relationship with mistakes​/​failure - Confidence - Performing under pressure - Managing self-talk - Emotional Regulation **You can expect to walk away with at least one mental skill from our very first session. I aim to make the world of mental performance training tangible and concrete by teaching skills that you can say, "I did​/​didn't do ___" and "this skill did​/​didn't work." Athletes are hard-wired to *do*, not just talk, and I prioritize that in my work with clients.**

Other Topics I Enjoy Discussing (development process, nutrition, fitness, mental game, etc)

Your athlete​/​performer hat is just one of many hats you wear -- the skills within mental performance serve you in all of those domains... athlete, student, friend, son​/​daughter, sibling, etc. Feedback from my clients like "that relaxation strategy you taught me for before games... I used that before my big presentation at school" or "I used the self-tracker system we had for my goals with baseball toward my goals for job networking post-grad" are my favorite; all of us reach the end of our athletic career at some point... how will the skills and lessons from sport carry us through the rest of life? I've worked with clients of all ages and kinds from youth football players with D1 looks to boarding school hockey players on track for the junior leagues to professional dancers to firefighters... mental performance training is for everyone! I'm so passionate about providing mental skills to foster resilience and increased enjoyment, and I can't wait to meet you!
