PEAK PERFORMANCE COUNSELING Services
Peak Philosophy

General
I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can pursue positive change. My approach emphasizes setting realistic goals and using creative interventions to foster interpersonal growth. Drawing from a relational perspective, I integrate cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and holistic health methods to tailor therapy to each individual. By focusing on clients' strengths, I aim to enhance self-awareness and empower personal growth, viewing therapy as a collaborative partnership where we work together to facilitate meaningful change.
Sports
I adopt a holistic approach to working with athletes and teams, guiding them to become their best selves both on and off the field. My goal is to help them achieve peak performance, enhance their "in the zone" experiences, and reduce performance anxiety. I emphasize applying these principles beyond sports to create balance in their lives, benefiting their overall development. My passion for sports psychology stems from my own experiences, inspiring me to support others in unlocking their potential.
