Growing up on the sidelines of greatness, I watched my father—a Hall of Fame coach—transform athletes not just with strategy, but with belief. I saw first hand how mindset shapes performance, how trust builds champions, and how leadership leaves a lasting impact.
Now as a Sports Psychology & Performance Coach, I carry that legacy forward. My coaching practice is rooted in those early lessons; resilience, under pressure, mental clarity in chaos, and the power of purpose—I don’t just work with people—I partner with them to strengthen the mental game, unlock potential and help them show up with confidence.
As a former women's basketball coach, I spent years helping athletes push past limits, build resilience and show up with purpose-on and off the court. I must admit I do love to win, however, what I observed over and over was that the game wasn’t just about wins and loses. It was about mindset. Confidence Clarity. Heart.
I started coaching others as a young basketball coach and evolved past the hardwood to life. I personally learned that the habits, hard work, and determination used to excel in sports is no different from excelling in everyday life. It’s the same. As an athlete, I quickly learned that “nothing changes if nothing changes.” So, if I wanted to excel and reach my potential; I had to make the changes needed.
Now I have the great privilege of helping people, like you, build clarity, confidence and momentum through coaching that’s real life and rooted in developing a growth mindset.
With a background in Sports Psychology, Mental Health, and Performance, I combine proven strategies to help you break through blocks and setbacks and step forward into power.
Today, I bring that same energy and focus to my coaching practice. Helping everyday people navigate challenges, find their footing and create momentum in areas that matter most . Whether you are chasing a dream, rebuilding after a setback or just ready for your next chapter, I’m here to coach you through it.
I'm a speaker and author who turns real life moments into meaningful and practical messages. Whether I am on stage or on the page, I’m here to spark something-clarity, courage, conversation. I have learned that powerful words don’t just inspire-they shift perspectives, start momentum and change lives.
When I am not coaching, speaking or writing, you’ll find me at home-soaking up the little moments with my family and our beloved wiener dog, Gidget. It’s where I recharge, stay grounded, and find everyday inspiration that fuels everything I do.
