Pivot Performance Group was founded to help athletes and coaches strengthen the mental side of performance while maintaining a healthy sense of identity beyond sport. Built from firsthand experience navigating the pressures of competition, Pivot understands how performance-based identity and high-stakes environments can impact confidence, focus, and mental well-being.

Our mission is to make mental skills training approachable, practical, and effective for real competition scenarios. Whether you’re an individual athlete, a team, or a coach managing both performance and athlete well-being, Pivot offers tailored solutions that deliver results. True performance excellence comes from a foundation of mental strength, healthy identity, and genuine support.

At Pivot, we believe that mental skills are not a luxury reserved for professional athletes — they are a fundamental component of performance at every level. From youth competitors navigating their first high-pressure tournaments to seasoned professionals managing the weight of expectations, the mental game is always in play.

I’m a former collegiate and professional goalkeeper whose experiences in sport shaped both my personal and professional path. As a young athlete, I struggled with tying my identity closely to performance, which contributed to significant mental health challenges. Those experiences ultimately became a driving force in my commitment to supporting the well-being of athletes.

I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from West Chester University in 2025 and currently work as a generalist outpatient therapist. In my clinical work, I focus on helping individuals navigate anxiety, identity development, life transitions, and the pressures that can come with high-performance environments.

Alongside my clinical practice, I have extensive experience coaching soccer players at the high school through collegiate levels. I’m especially motivated to bridge my background in sport with my clinical training to support athletes in building healthier relationships with performance, identity, and mental health—both on and off the field.
