    As a licensed counselor and Certified Mental Performance Consultant®, I help companies and organizations improve employee mind health, performance, and sustainable self-care. I deliver workshops and presentations based on evidence-based practices that focus on three key areas:

    1. Improving cognitive skills

    2. Enhancing self-care practices

    3. Building confidence

    I tailor my workshops and presentations to the specific needs of each organization, working with leaders to align each session with their culture of mind health and performance awareness and support.

    I have 15 years of experience working with college athletes as a coach and administrator. I help athletes develop the skills they need to succeed both on and off the field. I do this through workshops and presentations that focus on building confidence, resilience, and stress management. I have also led the creation of two successful counseling and mental performance programs embedded in the athletic departments at the University of Vermont and Johns Hopkins University. My workshops and presentations are based on evidence-based practices and have been shown to be effective in improving athlete mind health and performance.
