She began Elite Minds Mental Performance Coaching to continue her passion for helping athletes, coaches and performers optimize their potential by providing evidenced-based virtual and in-person sport and performance consulting.

“My mission is to help optimize individual and/or group performance beyond physical capabilities, and provide the skills to train your mind using field tested, sport specific, and functional mental skills.”

Tailored individualized mental skills training programs to optimize individuals' performance potential through the use of  theoretically grounded techniques.

Learn about our services:

  • These sessions will consist of reviewing intake paperwork, gathering background information about lifestyle and sport/performance history, and more!

  • These sessions typically consist of meeting prior to the workshop with the coach(es) to discuss a focus/intention for the group. This is followed by an individually curated team building exercise or educational workshop for a group or entire team looking to improve cohesion, group performance tactics, or performance techniques in a fun and educational setting

Wondering if you could benefit from mental performance coaching?

The answer is YES! Mental performance training is not only reserved for athletes/performers who are facing challenges or plateaus but can help everyone optimize their training.

FAQs

+ What is mental skills training?

Is mental performance coaching for me? Mental performance is for anyone who is looking to fine tune their skills optimize their performance

+Who will know what we talk about?

Nobody. If you are 18 years or older, I am ethically required to keep all information that we discuss, confidential. This includes who is a client, what we discuss, and what we work on during our individual sessions. At the beginning of the first session, more information will be covered and a confidentiality agreement will be reviewed, explaining the few circumstances where confidentiality may need to be broken. When working with minors, I recommend that the client and the parent/guardian keep consistent communication about topics covered during our sessions.

+What if my challenges are in other areas of my life also?

While mental skills and sport psychology topics can expand and enhance many areas of an individual’s life, I have not been properly trained to provide clinical mental health advice at this time. In this case, I can continue working on the sport/performance areas with clients, while providing referrals to specialists in the areas that can further benefit the client. If given written permission, a team approach can be taken and I can communicate with the providers about what is discussed during sessions!

+What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?

If it is not an emergency, I ask that at least 24 hour notice is provided for rescheduling and canceling appointments. I also understand that emergencies and life happen. Clients will be allowed to reschedule their appointment one time, free of charge, and all other reschedules/ cancellations will be charged the full amount.
