Psychologist, Sport Psychologist
Licensed Counseling Sport Psychologist - Comprehensive psychological assessment, therapy, and sport/performance services in Colorado and PSYPACT states.
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in comprehensive psychological assessment (same day testing and results available), performance psychology, and evidence-based therapy for individuals, artists, athletes, business professionals, and teams. My work is focused on helping people gain clarity through high-quality assessment, build resilience, and develop lasting coping and performance skills. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine human connection. I work with clients to understand current challenges while actively teaching skills for managing stress, improving focus, strengthening relationships, and building confidence. Humor and perspective are part of the process when they serve growth. As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), I specialize in mental skills training for athletes, performers, and high achievers, with a focus on performance anxiety, leadership, motivation, confidence, and character development. I am passionate about helping people perform at their best without sacrificing well-being. I have 17 years of experience and provide online therapy across PSYPACT states, serving preteens, teens, young adults, adults, and seniors. I specialize in ADHD, performance anxiety, and gender identity, offer individual and group therapy, and am an LGBTQ ally. I accept Aetna, Anthem, UMR, UHC, and Optum, with private-pay options available.
