dr. Salaam sport Psychology coaching


Helping athletes build confidence, sharpen focus, and navigate the pressures of competition. Through personalized mental skills coaching, I support you in developing practical tools- to manage self doubt, bounce back from setbacks, and perform with greater purpose while growing as a person beyond your sport.

Your sport is a part of who you are, and your growth extends beyond the game. I help athletes strengthen their mental skills while navigating the expectations, challenges, and transitions that come with competition.
With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and a masters in Sport Psychology, I bring an understanding of both the person and the performer. My coaching focuses on practical mental performance protocols that help you navigate the demands of academics and athletics- so you can thrive as a student athlete.
My approach honors your identity, culture, values, and goals. Together, we work toward a mindset that supports purposeful performance, personal growth, and a fulfilling life beyond sport.
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my family and connecting with nature.
