Hello Everyone,

As the founder of Maximum Mindset located in Buffalo, NY (WNY), my journey into mental performance started long before I created this company. Like many of you, I’ve faced mental obstacles in my athletic career that tested my resilience, focus, and belief in my potential. These experiences taught me that true success isn’t just about talent or hard work—it’s about cultivating the right mindset and mentality.

I started Maximum Mindset because I’m passionate about helping others achieve the same mental clarity and strength that has transformed my own life. I know firsthand how limiting beliefs, fear of failure, or lack of confidence can hold us back. My goal is to provide athletes with the tools, strategies, and support they need to overcome these mental blocks and start living up to their full potential. As a former collegiate athlete, coach and now mental performance consultant, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to gain experience through all facets of the game. I graduated with my masters degree in Exercise and Sports Sciences in Mental Performance & Sports Psychology. I’ve spent years studying and applying techniques that help athletes shift their mindset, break through mental barriers, and unlock their true potential. This journey has allowed me to work with incredible individuals—from high school athletes to Division I, II, III—helping them achieve mental breakthroughs they never thought possible.

Whether you’re looking to overcome a specific challenge or simply want to elevate your mental game, I’m here to help. Feel free to get in touch or explore my services to see how Maximum Mindset can help you achieve your maximum potential!
