Sports Psychology: Unlock Elevated Performance

Sports psychology is designed to help athletes (including everyday athletes and weekend warriors) optimize and enhance performance by using mental tools and strategies.

Sessions may include cultivating a mental tool kit to silence self-doubt, increase your confidence, build resilience in the face of setbacks, change your relationship to discomfort and pain, and successfully execute to your potential.

I work with a variety of athletes looking to accomplish exciting goals, from completing an ultramarathon, climbing Everest, qualifying for the Boston Marathon, or completing your first triathlon. I have also worked with several professional and Olympic athletes.

I also provided services to athletes struggling to come back from injury or setbacks, as well as former competitive athletes looking to receive support as they transition out of professional sport.
