A little bit about me before I get to know you.
Hi, I’m Mariah (she/her)! I’m originally from Orange County, California. Sports have always been a big part of my life. I was fortunate to get to play soccer collegiately at Stanford, where we won an NCAA national championship and I was an All-American and captain. I then played professionally in the NWSL for three seasons, where we were two-time regular season champions. I’ve found my experiences playing elite sport to be incredibly helpful when I’m working with other high performers and teams. Mental health and performance services weren’t available to me as a player. Knowing now how much it could have benefited me is part of my motivation to provide these resources and opportunities to other high performers.
After retiring, I returned to graduate school to get my PhD in Clinical Psychology as well as become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant. Since graduating, I’ve been offering individual and group psychotherapy, mental performance training, consultation, team workshops, and assessment at the youth, D1 collegiate, professional, and international level. A career highlight was going to the 2024 Paris Olympics with Team Canada.
In addition to athletes, I also enjoy working with other high performing professionals and companies in other fields to optimize their performance, leadership, and wellbeing.
I’m currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah with my wonderful husband, son, and dog. I enjoy trying to not get overly competitive or injured in adult sports leagues, creating adventures, traveling, finding the best local food spots, and enjoying quality time with the good people in my life.
