Ready to help your athlete community thrive on and off the field?

The Athlete Psychotherapist Method is a transformative 4-part workshop series designed for the people who shape athletes most: coaches, parents, guardians, therapists, and providers.

As a former elite and Division 1 athlete turned licensed psychotherapist with 20+ years of experience, I created this method to bridge the gap between mental wellness and high performance in sports.

What You’ll Get:
✅ 4 live, interactive workshops (10 total hours)
✅ 4 actionable, research-informed e-workbooks
✅ Optional power coaching session (limited spots)
✅ Trauma-informed tools that actually apply on the field, at home, and in the clinic

This is for you if you’re ready to:

  • Reduce burnout and emotional shutdown in athletes
  • Cultivate identity, confidence, and team cohesion
  • Learn how to support athletes beyond wins and losses
  • Be part of a movement redefining athletic success
