Education

• BS in psychology with minor in sport and exercise science from Wisconsin Lutheran College

Certification

• Currently, I am working towards becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). This certification is the gold standard for professionals who aspire to work in the field of mental performance consulting. In order to become certified, consultants must complete specific coursework, obtain at least 400 hours of applied consulting experiences, and pass an exam. Having already completed the required coursework through my master’s degree education, I am working toward accruing enough applied experience hours to sit for the certification exam.

• While lacking official certification, my practice abides by all ethical standards displayed in the AASP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards

Experience

Conducting mental performance work with:

• Women’s semi-professional soccer team

• NCAA Division I men’s and women’s sport teams

• NJCAA Division I men’s and women’s sport teams 

• High school baseball and soccer players

• I ground the relationship I build with you in a person-centered approach. You have full autonomy of what you want to obtain from working together. I provide expertise on the ins and outs of mental performance training and you decide what to do with it. 

I am your mirror in the journey to optimal performance. It is not my job to tell you what you need to do; instead, I help you navigate towards your ideal solution. 

My goal is to provide a space for you to be open and communicate freely in a way that is oftentimes not possible in your other demanding life settings. 

• When it comes to mental performance training there is no special formula or secret to quickly fix performance flaws. The services that I offer take time and effort. 

The effectiveness and content of mental skills training is unique to you. 

You will have the opportunity to explore your presenting concerns by examining thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with my guidance while we work together to formulate a gameplan of how to optimize performance potential.
