The voice in your head has been running the show long enough. Practical coaching to quiet the self-doubt, build habits that last and go after what you've been putting off.

"Who am I to do this?"
Imposter feelings that show up right before every opportunity.

Replaying every conversation
Overthinking that keeps you up long after the moment passed.
Freezing under pressure
Interviews, games, performances — you know it cold until it counts.
A Former Collegiate Swimmer Who Studied Why We Choke
I swam in college and spent more races losing to my own head than to the swimmer in the next lane. That curiosity became a master's degree in applied sport psychology and, eventually, a coaching practice for anyone whose thinking gets in the way — athletes and musicians, yes, but also managers, founders and first-time parents.
My coaching is practical and evidence-based. We'll notice the patterns, test new ones in real life, and keep what works.

Good Questions
What is mindset coaching, exactly?
Practical coaching on the thoughts and habits that shape how you act — especially under pressure. We focus on the present and what you want next.
Is this therapy?
No. I'm a coach, not a licensed therapist, and I don't diagnose or treat anxiety, depression or other conditions. If that support would help, I'll point you to a licensed professional.
How long until I notice a change?
It varies. Most people pick up useful tools in the first few sessions; lasting change takes regular practice between them.
Can we meet if I'm not in Austin?
Yes — most sessions are by video. Austin clients can also meet at the East 5th Street studio.
Do you work with teams?
Yes. Half-day workshops on resilience, focus and feedback, for groups up to twenty.
What if I fall behind during the Habit Reset?
That's part of it. We plan for slips and practice getting back on track without starting over.
