I have worked at the youth, high school, collegiate, and professional levels in a range of individual and team sports. And, as a former  soccer player at Amherst College (4-year varsity starter and 2-time team captain), I know how physically and mentally demanding sports can be, and the challenge of balancing rigorous athletics, academics, and other aspects of life. I pursued a career in sport psychology to support athletes to build the knowledge, awareness, and skills I wish I had further developed while I was competing.​

​​

Over the last 10 years, I have gained expertise in integrating mental skills training as a youth and high school soccer coach. Outside of my team context, however, mental performance coaching has allowed me to broaden my impact across different sports and competitive domains. I recently decided to step away from that aspect of my coaching practice to focus on mental training and leadership development exclusively.

​Why Both/And Coaching?

I started both/and coaching to make provide sport psychology education and skills development more accessible to a wider, diverse sport community. I hope to do my part to make sport more development-focused and joy-filled instead of win-at-all-costs. I believe that when we take care of athletes as people, performance outcomes follow. Alongside these outcomes, I strive to support athletes in (re)imagining sport as a lifelong pursuit through which they can explore, develop, connect, pause, and play.
