I bring a rare combination of coaching experience, clinical training, and leadership perspective. I coached for 10+ years, led teams of coaches, and have led large teams of clinicians in complex health systems. Today, I work as a licensed psychologist supporting athletes, parents, high-achieving professionals, and leaders.
That means I understand both the real pressure coaches carry in the moment and the deeper psychological, relational, and leadership dynamics underneath it. This work helps coaches communicate clearly, manage parent and athlete dynamics, set boundaries, and lead with more confidence, steadiness, and intention.
