Every consultant brings something a little different to the room. Here are a few of the things you might want to know about how I work, who I work with, and what you can expect from the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you care deeply about what you do and want to get better at navigating the mental side of doing it, there's probably something here for you.

    Maybe you're chasing a big goal. Maybe something that used to work for you no longer works. Maybe pressure, perfectionism, confidence, focus, or fear keeps getting in the way. Or maybe things are going well and you're curious about what else is possible.

    You don't have to be in crisis to work on your mental game.

  • My specialty is performing artists and athletes, but I also work with creatives, educators, executives, and others who regularly have to show up and perform when it matters.

    And no—you don't have to be elite. You don't need a Broadway contract, a national ranking, or an impressive title to take what you do seriously. I work with performers at many different stages of their development.

    Most of my individual clients are adolescents and adults (14+), though I work with younger performers and athletes on a case-by-case basis. Readiness matters more to me than résumé.

  • For clients under 18, a parent or guardian provides consent for us to work together and is an important part of the support system.

    At the same time, this work is most effective when young performers and athletes have a sense of ownership over it. We’ll work together to find the right balance: giving your child space to develop their own voice, skills, and independence, while identifying how you can best support their work outside our sessions.

  • No. I'm not a licensed therapist, and performance psychology consulting isn't psychotherapy.

    We’re focused on mental skills and performance development (focus, confidence, motivation, preparation, recovery) and all the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that show up around performance.

    If something comes up that falls outside my scope, I'll tell you and help you find the right support.

The Basics

  • I’m warm, honest, curious, and collaborative. I’m also a giant performance nerd and will be 100% in the process with you.

    I ask a lot of questions. I’ll challenge you, cheer you on, invite you to experiment and probably pull out a worksheet or a metaphor.

    I take the work seriously. I don't think that means we have to take ourselves seriously all the time.

  • Because, like all things related to performance, this work takes time and practice.

    Insight is useful, but you already know that understanding something and being able to do it when the pressure is on are two very different things. You need time to experiment, practice in your actual performance environment, reflect on what happens, and adjust.

    Packages give us the time and structure to do that work well, with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

    I do make exceptions for one-time sessions when the situation genuinely calls for one.

  • Show up curious, honest, and open-minded.

    You don’t need to have yourself figured out, perform for me (unless you’d like to), or share more than you’re ready to.

    You will need to engage with the work between sessions. This work has to translate to performance, and that requires practice in your actual performance environment. It’s an essential part of the process.

    But that doesn’t mean adding to your calendar. We’ll find ways to integrate the work into what you’re already doing (e.g., rehearsal, training, practice, preparation, and performance). You might practice a skill, notice a pattern, reflect on a performance, or experiment with a new approach.

    This integration is what makes the work something you can consistently access when you perform.

  • We'll decide what progress looks like for you, and we'll keep paying attention to it.

    Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes it's more subtle: recovering faster after a mistake, taking the risk you normally avoid, or noticing that the thing that used to derail you doesn't have the same grip anymore.

    We'll check in, stay curious, and adjust as we go.

Working Together

  • Both. I work virtually with clients in a variety of locations and offer in-person consulting in the Las Vegas/Henderson area.

    For certain engagements, I’m also available to travel when it makes sense for the work.

  • Yes! I work with teams, casts, classrooms, studios, schools, and organizations through workshops, intensives, and customized programming.

    Tell me what's happening in your room and what you're hoping to build. We'll go from there.

  • Sometimes. Performance doesn't happen in a vacuum, and the other people in your world can be important parts of the picture.

    If collaboration would be useful, we'll talk about it first, including who I'm talking to, why, and what we're comfortable sharing.

  • I don’t. Because performance psychology consulting focuses on performance and development rather than the diagnosis or treatment of a mental health condition, it is not covered by health insurance.
