MENTAL PERFORMANCE CONSULTING

You've optimized the fundamentals. You've worked with coaches, trainers, and performance specialists. But something still breaks down when stakes are highest.

The issue isn't knowledge. It's not effort. It's the systems and patterns that either hold or fail under sustained pressure.

This work addresses where single-domain approaches fall short—integrating nervous system optimization, tactical performance skills, and the pattern-level work that determines whether what you know translates to what you do.

When This Work Matters

The mental skills you learned aren't holding up under pressure

You've worked with sport psychologists. You have routines, visualization practices, breathing techniques. They helped initially.

But the same issues resurface. The strategies feel forced. Or they work until the moment that actually counts.

When conscious strategies stop working consistently, the interference is deeper—physiological dysregulation or unconscious patterns that tactics can't override.

You know what to do but can't consistently do it

Self-sabotage before breakthrough. Perfectionism that's paralyzing rather than motivating. Resistance to what you know works.

The gap isn't knowledge. It's the automatic patterns operating beneath conscious awareness—the motivation below the motivation.

Performance work needs to go beneath the tactical level to where these patterns actually live.

You're navigating sustained pressure or major transition

Returning from injury. Recovering from burnout. Competing at a new level where the margin for error has disappeared.

Transitions disrupt identity, motivation, and the internal structures that used to hold you. Tactical adjustments aren't enough.

You're performing well but the joy is gone

You're executing at a high level. Meeting expectations. Delivering results. But the drive that used to fuel you feels hollow. Success feels empty. You're going through the motions but questioning the point.

What's driving this? Pattern work? Misalignment with values? A shift in what matters? That's what we explore together.

Performance work that lasts addresses not just how you perform, but why.

The Work

Physiology — Nervous system regulation, HRV optimization, arousal management, recovery protocols

Cognition — Attention control, decision-making under load, pre-performance systems, psychological flexibility

Emotion & Pattern — The unconscious drives, defenses, and patterns that shape how you respond when pressure mounts

This is where most performance work stops. This is where the real work begins.

Who This Is For

Professional and elite competitive athletes operating at the highest levels of their sport

Coaches and performance directors building cultures that sustain excellence under pressure

Tactical professionals (special operations, law enforcement) where decision-making under extreme conditions is essential

Medical professionals (surgeons, physicians, clinical teams) performing with high consequences

Performing artists (musicians, actors, comedians, conductors) managing performance anxiety, perfectionism, and the demands of elite-level craft.

What Makes This Different

The CMPC Credential

Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC)—the gold standard in applied sport psychology, granted by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.

This certification requires graduate-level education in sport psychology, supervised fieldwork, demonstrated competence in evidence-based practice, and ongoing professional development.

An Integrated Approach

Ph.D. in Kinesiology (Psychology of Movement). M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Advanced training in exercise physiology and psychoanalysis.

This allows work at three levels: physiological (nervous system and recovery), conscious (mental skills and psychological flexibility), and unconscious (the drives, defenses, and patterns beneath awareness).

Most consultants work at one level. This integration identifies where your challenge actually lives and addresses it there.

Performance-Focused, Clinically Informed

This is performance consulting, not therapy. My clinical training informs the depth of the work—particularly around patterns, identity, and sustainability—but the focus remains on execution, performance, and growth under pressure.

How It Works

Engagements are structured as 3-month or 6-month commitments to allow for meaningful depth work across physiological, cognitive, and pattern domains.

We begin with comprehensive assessment—identifying where interference lives and what systems need optimization. The work then moves through intervention (building what holds) and integration (making it sustainable).

This isn't quick-fix tactics. It's systems-based work for performers ready to address what's actually limiting them.

Format: Individual sessions (virtual or in-person), between-session support, on-site work when applicable

Investment: Determined through initial consultation based on engagement structure and scope

Current availability is constrained. I maintain a limited roster to ensure depth of engagement.
