Clinical psych doctoral student specializing in athlete mental performance.
I'm a doctoral student in clinical psychology with a master's in sport and exercise psychology, and I specialize in mental performance consulting with athletes. I've worked with teams and individuals across rugby, football, golf, lacrosse, and soccer helping them build skills like anxiety regulation, self-talk, visualization, and pre-performance routines. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, and I bring a clinical lens to performance that most mental performance consultants don't have.

About Me:
I've worked with athletes at every level — from 6-year-olds just learning to compete to collegiate players with real stakes on the line. I know that every athlete is different, and I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Everything I do is grounded in research and tailored to the individual.
My background is a little different from most mental performance consultants. I'm a doctoral student in clinical psychology, which means I'm trained to understand the whole person, not just the athlete. If something deeper is going on I'm equipped to recognize that and address it appropriately.
A few things that matter to me:
Athletes drive the process. I'm not here to tell you what to think — I'm here to give you tools you can actually use.
Parents are partners, not bystanders. Especially with younger athletes, I'll keep you informed and involved in ways that support your child without undermining their autonomy.
This is a safe space. What we talk about stays between us. Athletes perform better when they feel free to be honest about what's going on.
I've also worked extensively with athletes with autism through surf therapy, so I'm comfortable and experienced working with neurodiverse athletes.
How I can help you improve your game:
My approach is evidence-based and tailored to each athlete. Whether you're struggling with nerves before a big game, dealing with mistakes on the field, or just want to take your mental game to the next level, I want to help you achieve your goals.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions are conversational, not lecture-based. We start by talking about what's going on whether that's in your sport, in recent competitions, in your head. From there we identify one or two specific things to work on, I'll introduce a skill or technique, and we'll practice it together. You leave with something concrete to apply at your next practice or game. Over time those skills stack.
Sessions are available in person or via Zoom.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Doctoral student in clinical psychology with a master's in sport and exercise psychology, specializing in mental performance consulting with athletes. Experienced working with collegiate and youth athletes across multiple sports, integrating evidence-based mental skills training within a clinical framework. Navy HPSP scholar pursuing a career as a licensed psychologist serving military and high-performance populations.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school lacrosse coach. He believed in me when I was not at my best and allowed me to flourish in a sport that I believed I could succeed at by showing his faith in my even after mistakes.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My approach is tailored, research-based, and athlete-driven. What we work on comes from you, I just provide the tools and the framework to make it stick. Parents of younger athletes will always be kept in the loop.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
