These sessions are highly collaborative and individualized, but consider this is as a possible outline:

Introductory call: it’s FREE and only takes 15 minutes. We take this time to learn more about each other, what you’re looking for, and how I can help your journey.

Initial assessment: One of my favorite quotes is “You can’t grow if you don’t know.” Thus, we take the time to establish a foundation of what your strengths and areas of improvement are. We then collaborate to set a game plan for how and what future sessions might focus on (which can change of course).

Coaching sessions: This is where the fun is! Each session lasts about 50 minutes, where we go over relevant mental skills by describing what they are, practice them in-session, and discuss how to continue practice in-between our time together. My aim is to have you leave each session with a key takeaway, personal insight, skill to practice, etc. These can be done weekly, bi-weekly or however frequent you wish — session packs never expire!

Also known as mental performance training, sport psychology is dedicated towards improving your mind’s ability to perform. There is more information located in the “About Sport Psychology” tab.

Although I apply principles and theory from the mental health space, our work together is different, in which it is based on teaching mental skills and mindset specific to your performance.

I meet most clients virtually; however, meeting in-person can be an option discussed during our introductory call. It’s all based on your preference!

Similar to putting in reps in the weight room or learning a new skill, time and practice is needed in order to improve and be confident with using mental skills. Everybody has a different starting level, but a minimum of 4 sessions provides a foundation to learn about the essentials. Some people prefer weekly, structured time to dive deep into the educational aspects, whereas others might prefer bi-weekly or monthly check-ins or before a big competition. It’s largely based on your goals.

No, insurance (as of now) does not cover sport psychology services.
