Mental Performance Coaching
Train your mind like you train your body.
Whether you’re preparing for a championship game, returning from injury, trying to earn a starting position, or simply want to enjoy your sport again, mental performance is often the difference between playing to your potential and getting stuck in your head.
Mental performance coaching is designed for athletes who want to improve confidence, focus, resilience, communication, and consistency.
This is coaching, not therapy. I cannot bill coaching services to health insurance.

Your Questions, Answered
As both a licensed therapist and competitive softball coach, I understand that athletes don't just train their bodies; they carry expectations, pressure, confidence struggles, setbacks, and identity questions onto the field every day. My approach combines evidence-based mental performance strategies with years of experience helping individuals build resilience, confidence, and emotional flexibility. Whether we're preparing for a championship tournament, working through a slump, or helping an athlete rediscover the joy of competing, our work is tailored to the demands of sport while remaining clearly distinct from psychotherapy.

Not at all. Many athletes seek coaching to sharpen their mental skills, improve consistency, build confidence, or prepare for higher levels of competition. Mental performance coaching is designed to help athletes perform closer to their potential, regardless of their current skill level.
-
No. Mental performance coaching is not psychotherapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Coaching focuses on developing skills such as confidence, focus, resilience, communication, and performance under pressure. These services are not billable to insurance.
-
While I have extensive coaching experience in competitive softball, the mental skills taught through coaching apply across many sports. Athletes from individual and team sports are welcome.

For younger athletes, parents may participate in portions of the initial or concluding sessions to help reinforce strategies at home. Older athletes often meet independently, with parent consultations available as needed.
