Remain Steady Under Pressure

You train with intention. You prepare thoroughly. You set a high standard for yourself.

And yet, under pressure, something shifts.

Your body tightens. Your breathing changes. Your thinking speeds up — or narrows. Decisions that feel automatic in practice feel heavier in competition. Performance becomes inconsistent, not because you lack commitment, but because stress is interfering with execution.

In many cases, performance inconsistency can reflect accumulated pressure rather than a lack of discipline or preparation.

Under pressure, physiological responses shape perception, timing, and judgment.

When demands stack up — from competition, expectations, injury, leadership demands, or personal stress — your system can shift into protection rather than precision.

Our work focuses on helping you recognize and stabilize those responses before they dictate performance.

I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor in Ohio and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® specializing in the demands of elite sport.

For athletes in Ohio, I provide therapy addressing performance anxiety, burnout, identity development, and personal stressors impacting competition. For athletes across North America, I offer performance-focused consulting designed to strengthen competitive consistency and long-term excellence.

This is structured, evidence-based work for athletes willing to engage in meaningful internal development. It is not a quick fix. It is an investment in long-term stability and performance durability.

If you’ve been trying to manage this on your own and noticing that pressure is still affecting your performance, it may be time to approach it differently.

We can begin with a structured consultation to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and determine how to move forward in a deliberate, steady way.

You don’t have to navigate high-level pressure alone.

Therapy available in Ohio. Performance consulting available across North America.
