Pressure is part
of doing things
that matter.
Hi, I’m Erin. I’m a mental performance consultant.
I help athletes and professionals build trust in their abilities, respond to pressure, and adapt to the demands of what they do.
I’ve been where you are.
I've spent more than 15 years in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, competing internationally, winning major titles, coaching, and experiencing plenty of moments when things didn't go according to plan. I know what it's like to put everything into something you care about and still find yourself caught up in the pressure, expectations, and doubts that come with it.
That experience sparked my curiosity about why people perform the way they do. Today, I'm a Certified Mental Performance Consultant with a master's degree in Sport and Performance Psychology, and I bring both research and firsthand experience into my work with athletes and professionals. I ask a lot of questions, challenge assumptions, and genuinely love figuring out what makes people tick. Most importantly, I want what you learn about yourself to be useful when you're out there doing the thing.

THEORETICAL ORIENTATION
I am an evidence-based practitioner with a master’s degree in sport and performance psychology. I developed my own theoretical orientation towards performance excellence called the theory of authentic performance that builds the foundation from which I coach mental skills with my clients. I believe you must know and like yourself if you want to be successful. For this I guide my clients through a process of self-reflection. This involves taking inventory of your strengths, values, and resources in order to meet the demands of your performance domain. My practice is grounded in research with a focus on applied sport psychology in the combat sports domain.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
My approach to mental performance coaching is influenced by my personal experiences as a combat sports athlete. I became an athlete at the age of twenty with no prior sport experience. I was diagnosed with ADHD not long after and have since learned to navigate success as a neurodivergent athlete. I use a science-based approach that involves self-reflection rooted in theoretical underpinnings. I take a whole-person approach to coaching that acknowledges we are more than just our performance roles. I care what you think and where you come from so that I can meet you where you are. I say, “come as you are” and we will collaborate on your journey of excellence.
ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO
I graduated in June 2023 from the University of Western States with a Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology. I’ve gathered my most impactful assignments that I feel show my best work and reflected on their importance. This academic portfolio is a culmination of two years learning about myself and the field of applied sport psychology. These artifacts will give you insight into what theories and techniques I have developed for working as a mental performance coach as well as the research that has shaped my knowledge. Each piece reflects the process of my development and my dedication to becoming a well-informed and authentic consultant.
