Individual Mental Performance Consultation
Develop your performance edge through Mental Training Skills
Mental training skills are a non-clinical therapy that focuses on personal development and growth through effective techniques geared toward self-improvement and achievement. Whether you are an athlete or performer, active or retired military, or a business professional, an aspect of your everyday performance has an important mental component.
Regardless of the performance “edge” that has brought you to seeking mental performance consulting, whether you have reached a low point in your career or are seeking to gain an advantage over competition, I hope to partner with you as you traverse your path to success while making meaningful change that lasts.
I specialize in taking a values and mindful-based approach to help clients learn and utilize various mental skills, tailored to their specific need/interest, to improve performance and overall well-being. As we partner together, your performance enhancement journey will be completely tailored to you.
Although there are a multitude of mental training skills, I specialize in focus/concentration, goal setting and evaluation, time management, communication skills, leadership, and stress management.
