Who this is for
I speak to pickleball clubs, recreational leagues, competitive teams, tournaments, and organizations who want to bring something different to their community — not just technical instruction, but the mental side of the game.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, competitive player, and founder of one of Virginia's largest therapy practices, I bring a perspective that's both clinically grounded and genuinely lived on the court.
