My Story
​
Hi! Welcome. I'm Corrie: a lifelong endurance athlete, parent of competitive athletes, and someone who loves movement and the outdoors. I live in Colorado, where sports aren't just a hobby; they're a way of life.
In Crested Butte, we live for moments in the mountains... the sunshine calls us outside daily, and we answer the call with joy! My time in the mountains has shown me how we are all connected to something greater and performance is excellence is possible when beliefs, thoughts, training, mindset, and self talk area all aligned with our goals.
​
Sports Psychology Consulting
My passion for psychology, mindfulness, and human behavior led me to the field of Sports and Performance Psychology. I trained for 2 years as a consultant, while I pursued running, triathlons, weightlifting, mountain biking, swimming, yoga, pilates, and skiing on every type of ski made! I love moving and believe everyone is capable of achieving their highest performance if they align their goals and values with their training and their lifestyle.
What I Believe
Sustainable performance excellence emerges when an athlete's values, thoughts, behaviors, and physiological states align with their authentic identity and purpose. Performance excellence is characterized by deep engagement and love for one's sport, a willingness to work, grow, and make meaningful sacrifices, and the intentional integration of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in service of performance goals.
​
My Approach
Today, as a sport and performance psychology professional, I bring all of those identities with me: athlete, mother, student, and passionate entrepreneur. I help athletes and high performers discover the mental tools, emotional skills, and personal strengths that unlock not only better performance… but more enjoyment, more confidence, and more belief in your ability.
​
Because performance is personal. And the work we do together honors every part of the person behind the goal.
What You nEed to know
I work with athletes and high performers who are motivated, curious, and willing to engage in the process, not just the outcome. Mental performance training is not about quick fixes or motivational hype. It is a skill-building process that supports focus, confidence, emotional regulation, resilience, and alignment between who you are and how you perform.
WHO CAN THIS HELP?
I love working with youth athletes and athletes of all ages. Whether someone is just beginning their athletic journey, navigating competitive pressure, returning from injury, or striving for longevity in sport, my goal is to meet each athlete where they are and support sustainable growth.
My work is grounded in evidence-based sport and performance psychology frameworks, including cognitive-behavioral and psychophysiological approaches, mindfulness, self-compassion, and values-based performance. Sessions are practical, individualized, and designed to integrate into your existing training and daily life.
​
WHAT MAKES SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY CONSULTING UNIQUE:
This is not therapy, and it is not clinical treatment. Mental performance consulting focuses on performance, growth, and well-being within sport, work, and life contexts, and all approaches are scientifically and evidence-based. When appropriate, I collaborate with coaches, trainers, and other professionals to ensure the support you receive is aligned and comprehensive.
I believe the most meaningful performance shifts happen when athletes are seen as whole people, not just performers. Our work together respects your goals, your nervous system, your life outside of sport, and the season you are in.
If you are looking to build mental skills that support long-term performance, enjoyment, and confidence, you are in the right place.

My Foundational Philosophy
Performance excellence emerges when your values, thoughts, behaviors, and physiological states align with your authentic identity and purpose. I know how mental patterns, belief systems, and self-awareness directly impact both performance outcomes and personal fulfillment. Excellence requires more than physical talent- it demands psychological skills, intentional self-regulation, and alignment between your actions and deepest values. My approach integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to help you understand how your mind works and create meaningful change in thought-emotion-behavior patterns.
I incorporate psychophysiological tools, particularly breathwork and somatic awareness, because they provide instant access to and feedback on your current mental, physical, and emotional state. These practices provide the foundation for cognitive work, especially under pressure. Self-compassion is central to everything I do, not as an optional add-on but as an essential condition for sustained excellence, recovery from setbacks, and maintaining the psychological flexibility needed to stay aligned with your goals even when facing inevitable challenges. Whether working with individual athletes or teams, I meet you where you are, developmentally, culturally, and motivationally, adapting interventions to match your readiness for change while maintaining rigorous ethical standards.
My commitment to the scientist-practitioner model means my work is grounded in current research while remaining responsive to your unique experiences, identities, and goals. Together, we'll build the awareness, skills, and self-compassion that allow you to perform at your best while maintaining well-being and staying true to who you are.
