Every Summit needs a Trusted Guide

Hello, and welcome! I'm here to help you reach your personal peaks and achieve optimal performance. With a PhD in Human Performance, blending Sport Psychology, Positive Psychology, and Wellness, my passion is guiding people like you through their journeys to greater well-being and peak performance.
My love for sports began early—catching footballs and shooting hoops. Later, I swapped the court for the marathon route and the golf course, always chasing that next challenge. This lifelong passion for sports and fitness drove me to pursue a career where I could empower others.
My academic journey, which includes a Bachelor’s in Education and a Master’s in Sport Psychology, has been complemented by a diverse coaching career. From teaching the fundamentals to young basketball players to mentally toughening collegiate and professional athletes, executives, and law enforcement officers, each experience has enriched my understanding of the diverse paths to success. This unique blend of academic knowledge and practical experience equips me to guide you on your journey to peak performance.
My professional journey has been a testament to my commitment to personal growth and adaptability. After several years leading learning and development for renowned companies, I transitioned to mental performance coaching. This shift not only sharpened my skills in helping others reach their potential but also deepened my passion for learning and development. I even cofounded a separate company, Bourbon Fat, dedicated to all things regarding employee experience. Whether it's HR, culture transformation, or employee learning needs, we've got you covered.
Most recently, I’ve added a NASM Wellness Coaching certification to my toolkit, broadening my coaching approach to include all aspects of well-being. Whether you want to improve your game mentally, lead more effectively, or feel and move better daily, I’m here to support you.
At Peaks Within Reach, I’m not just your coach but your partner in this adventure. Let’s make your journey to the top memorable!

At the heart of my coaching is a simple idea: it's all about you—your whole self, your dreams, your journey. I'm here not just as a coach but as a partner you can trust with your deepest fears, highest aspirations, and those incredible moments of personal breakthrough.
Together, we'll pinpoint exactly what you want to achieve. Whether you're scaling professional heights or personal milestones, I'm here to help craft a plan that fits perfectly with where you're at right now. We'll design goals, habits, and routines that feel right for you, and I'll be by your side as you make your ascent.
I believe in empowering you, not just holding you accountable. You're capable and able; my job is to support that strength. Our goal will be to achieve autonomy, mastery, and connection—not just checking off boxes or sticking to a rigid plan. I’m here to listen without judgment, to share insights and methods that help you reach peak mental performance and wellness, and to guide you as a partner, not prescribe as a boss.
By the end of our time together, I aim to leave you equipped with the wisdom, motivation, and self-coaching skills you need to continue thriving on your own. This journey is yours, and I’m just here to help you navigate it with confidence and excitement.
Let’s partner up and start this adventure together—toward reaching your peaks.
