Therapy & mental performance coaching for Colorado Athletes

Hi - I’m Neal

I’m a therapist and mental performance coach based in Colorado. I provide support to people ages 17 and up, who are managing self-criticism and burnout, navigating injuries and setbacks, experiencing anxiety, trauma or grief or looking for tools to enhance their performance.

My passion is in empowering people with the skills they need to find they have a little more inside to thrive in the mountains and life.

Managing Self-Criticism + Burnout

The voice that says you're not enough… the one that gets louder the harder you push doesn't have to run the show. Here we'll work on untangling pressure from self-worth, building the kind of resilience that doesn't require destroying yourself first.

Navigating Injuries + Setbacks

Being cleared to return to running isn't the same as feeling ready. We'll work through the mental side of injury: the identity loss, the fear of going back, the grief of a hard season, so you return to your sport with genuine confidence and grit.

Anxiety, Trauma + Grief

Anxiety, trauma, and grief don't stay off the trail. This is a space to make sense of what you're carrying to process it, not just push through it and find your way back to feeling like yourself.

Mental Performance

Your body can do more than your mind is letting it. Mental performance helps you compete with doubt instead of against it, staying composed when it counts, finding flow in the pain cave, arriving at the start line ready rather than just hoping.

Let’s get started.

You don't need another self-help book or a podcast telling you to visualize success. You need someone in your corner who isn't going to judge you, where you can be yourself and get back to what you love.
