My passion for sports and mental health led me to a career in sport psychology. I earned my master's degree in Performance Psychology from the University of Edinburgh, where I studied how mindfulness can help amateur golfers improve their mental game. I am a mental performance consultant and am working on obtaining my Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) certification.

I believe mental skills are just as important as physical skills. Just like training your body, training your mind takes practice. My goal is to help people build confidence, manage pressure, stay focused, and enjoy what they do.

My Approach

I work with athletes and professionals who want to improve their performance. Everyone faces different challenges, so I take the time to understand each person's goals and create a plan that works for them.

My coaching uses practical tools like mindfulness, visualization, goal setting, and game planning. These skills can help you stay calm under pressure, bounce back from mistakes, and feel more confident when facing challenges.

In our first session, we'll talk about your goals, what's holding you back, and what you'd like to improve. From there, we'll build a plan with simple strategies you can use in training, competition, or everyday life.

My Background in Golf

Golf has always been a big part of my life. I'm a competitive golfer and an Associate Golf Teaching Professional with the Canadian Golf Teachers Federation.

I have a special interest in helping golfers improve both their physical and mental game. I combine my knowledge of golf instruction with performance psychology to help players build confidence, manage frustration, make better decisions, and enjoy their time on the course.

Whether you're a recreational golfer looking to have more fun or a competitive athlete working toward a goal, I want to help you build the skills to perform at your best.

Who I Work With

I support athletes, and professionals who want to:

  • Build confidence in their abilities

  • Stay calm and focused under pressure

  • Handle mistakes and setbacks

  • Set goals and build better habits

  • Manage stress and frustration

  • Find more enjoyment in what they do

My goal is simple: to help you build a stronger mental game so you can perform with confidence and enjoy the process.
