“We all want to be the best versions of ourselves. And talking to a therapist, being vulnerable, opening up about what you’re dealing with, it only helps. Nobody can deal with life all alone. ”

Hi, I’m Brianna

My passion for sports and performance comes from my own experience as an athlete - from growing up competing, to being a college athlete, to coaching, and now to helping others. There are so many aspects of mental health and mental game that I wish I would have learned sooner in my athletic career. I understand the ups and downs that come with striving be the best at something and dedicating your life to achieving your goals. I would love to help you navigate the dynamics of your life and enhance your mental health and mental game so you can thrive!
