Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Mental Performance Coach helping athletes and high performers build resilience, confidence, and well-being through an integrative mind-body approach.
Sami is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), Approved CMPC Supervisor, and EMDR-trained clinician with nearly a decade of experience in mental health, sport and performance psychology, and holistic wellness. She earned her Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Denver and works with athletes, high performers, and individuals navigating growth, transition, and pressure both in and outside of sport. Sami previously worked with Olympic hopeful athletes at Vail Ski & Snowboard Academy and later supported mental health and wellness initiatives at the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, giving her firsthand experience supporting individuals performing in high-pressure, elite environments. Her approach blends clinical expertise with evidence-based performance psychology to help clients build resilience, emotional regulation, confidence, and a stronger connection to themselves. Sami works with teenagers, young adults, athletes, executives, and first responders who are looking to enhance performance, move through challenges with greater clarity, and develop sustainable tools for both well-being and success. Sami believes peak performance begins with self-awareness. Her work emphasizes the connection between mind and body, helping clients better understand patterns, manage stress, strengthen relationships, and perform with greater intention and presence. She creates a collaborative, grounded space where clients can explore who they are, reconnect to what matters most, and cultivate lasting growth both personally and professionally. At the core of Sami’s work is the belief that growth happens through connection — to ourselves, to others, and to the values that guide us. She is passionate about helping clients feel more calm, aligned, and empowered in the way they move through sport, work, relationships, and everyday life.
