Using psychological science to improve performance

Are you an athlete, team, athletic department, or sports medicine department who wants to perform at the top of your potential? I'm here to help you do exactly that. Using cutting-edge psychological science, I help individuals, teams, and organizations achieve peak performance, foster athlete mental health, and apply sport psychology principles that translate both in and out of sport. My approach is practical, science-backed and tailored to the unique demands of competitive sport environments.

I specialize in working with:

  • Collegiate student-athletes and athletic departments

  • Sports medicine teams supporting athlete health and performance

  • Elite performers at the recreational, professional, national, and Olympic levels

With experience consulting across more than 20 individual and team sports, I bring a broad and nuanced perspective to every engagement. Whether you're aiming to strengthen mental performance, build sustainable systems, or support your athletes through challenges, I offer proven tools and collaborative solutions to help you get there.
