Perform Under Pressure

Enjoy the Game

Clinical sport psychology for athletes with anxiety and OCD

CBT informed by mental skills and improv

You care about your sport. You’ve put in the work. But when the pressure rises, your mind can get in the way — overthinking, second-guessing, or getting stuck in patterns that are hard to break. That’s where our work together comes in.

A Bit About ME

I’m a clinical sport psychologist who works with athletes navigating anxiety, OCD, and high-performance pressure.

My background in weightlifting, shaped by coaching influenced by the philosophy of Tommy Kono, taught me that performance isn’t about eliminating pressure. It’s about responding to it.

Today, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mental skills training, and principles from improv to help athletes compete with clarity and flexibility when it matters most.

Common Challenges I Work With

  • Performance anxiety

  • OCD and intrusive thoughts

  • Overthinking during competition

  • Rigid or compulsive routines

  • Loss of confidence under pressure

  • Difficulty enjoying the sport

You don’t need to get rid of these experiences completely.

You need to learn how to perform alongside them.

Mental Health and Performance Are Not Opposites

You don’t have to choose between being mentally healthy and being competitive.

In fact, the skills that support mental health — flexibility, awareness, resilience — are the same ones that support high-level performance.

The goal isn’t to feel perfect.

It’s to stay present and perform anyway.

I work with:

  • High school athletes

  • Collegiate athletes

  • Competitive and elite performers

Including athletes who are:

  • Highly driven and self-critical

  • Struggling quietly despite strong performance

  • Looking for both performance improvement and mental health support

Movie House Sport Psychology

I also host a podcast exploring the mental side of sport through storytelling, performance insights, and a bit of creativity.

Because sometimes the best way to understand performance… is to see it played out.
