M.Ed., ADHD-CCSP
Performance Psychologist & ADHD Coach
I work at the intersection of sports psychology and ADHD — two worlds that overlap more than most people realize. I spent 8 years coaching college and semi-pro athletes on mental performance, and kept noticing that the athletes who struggled most with focus, emotional regulation, and consistency often had undiagnosed ADHD. Now I help high-performers build systems that work WITH their brain, not against it.
