When I was young I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family that owned and operated a very successful volleyball club. Through the years  I was taught mental skills and sport psychology concepts that allowed me to play collegiate track and volleyball. During this time, I found my passion for coaching and helping athletes have a positive experience through sport.  This led me to get a Master&#8217;s in Sport Administration degree while also coaching collegiate volleyball. After graduating, I still wanted to pursue sport psychology where I could have a direct impact on helping athletes. During the following two years I obtained a second Masters degree, this time in Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology. During this time I was a consultant for a Division II Women&#8217;s Basketball Team, in addition to other athletes from soccer, volleyball, track, baseball, softball, and gymnastics.&nbsp;Continuing my education and professional experience I am now a <strong>Certified Mental Performance Consultant\u00ae (CMPC)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, my goal is simple; I want to provide athletes an avenue to create a healthy mindset, while reaching their fullest potential in their sport. If you&#8217;re reading this, it means you are taking a step in the right direction &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to work with you!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d01dc9d8\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/thementalgain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2021_CMPC_logo_rgb.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4979\" style=\"width:317px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thementalgain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2021_CMPC_logo_rgb.png 800w, https:\/\/thementalgain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2021_CMPC_logo_rgb-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thementalgain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2021_CMPC_logo_rgb-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thementalgain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2021_CMPC_logo_rgb-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e4b0d44a\">\n\n<p><em>The <strong>Certified Mental Performance Consultant \u00ae<\/strong> credential is awarded by The Association of Applied Sport Psychology.
