Hi, I’m Sam—a Licensed Professional Counselor and mental performance coach who works with athletes, high-performers, and individuals who want to feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and daily routines.
My approach blends counseling with applied mental performance strategies, helping you build confidence, manage anxiety, and develop tools you can actually use in real-life moments—whether that’s in competition, at work, or in your relationships.
I specialize in:
-Performance anxiety and confidence
-Emotional regulation and stress management
-Building consistent routines and habits
-Supporting athletes and high-achievers navigating pressure
Sessions with me are collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you take action—not just talk things through.
Many of the clients I work with choose morning sessions, as it allows them to apply what we discuss in real time throughout their day. Starting the day with clarity, intention, and a plan often leads to more meaningful and lasting change.
If you’re someone who values structure, growth, and showing up at your best, we’ll likely be a strong fit.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
