About Jeanne
I’ve spent most of my life in the field of performance psychology. It all began growing up in a strong catholic family of 10: 6 brothers, 1 sister and my mom and dad…it was survival of the fittest! I am very familiar with competition and earning my role for everything…whether a seat at the dinner table (those army passes helped me to stay skinny!) or vying to participate in backyard football with the brood of boys. I learned to compete at an early age. This served me well as I played every varsity sport I could in school. Fast forward to formal education, graduate school and beyond where I focused on sport and strengths psychology. It seemed so natural, as my advisor and mentor in graduate school convinced me to dive into the world of sport psychology.
​
I continued to compete at a national level in tennis and platform tennis as well as golf and pickleball. I am a Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) certified tennis and pickleball professional and have coached at the NCAA level for tennis.
Since 1998, my work journey includes providing therapy and consulting services in private practice for amateur and professional athletes seeking performance success, and the founding of three non-profits that worked with underserved and marginalized populations, individuals, athletic organizations, businesses, and schools providing personal and professional development, performance enhancement, psychological skills training, character education and sports parenting programs. The common denominator is strengths psychology. I have led over 350 workshops working with more than 3,000 individuals helping them discover their strengths to meet performance and personal objectives.
The more I experienced helping people live their best lives, the more I wanted to learn. I got certified as a Strengths Performance Consultant from the Gallup University’s Integrated Management System Program, hypnotherapist, and NLP (neurolinguistic programming) practitioner. My passion is using strengths as a tool to find your purpose. I am dedicated to helping Individuals, teams and organizations discover and use their Strengths to live more meaningful lives.

my strengths Story
I’d like to share my CliftonStrengths Top 5 themes and how they play out in my life:
-
Individualization
-
Maximizer
-
Achiever
-
Empathy
-
Relator
My Individualizer can not wait to uncover your unique spot-on characteristics, the potentials and the capabilities, and the emerging talents within them, even before you can see them! My Maximizer drives me to seek and collaborate with you to drive self-actualization and a higher performance level…to help you accomplish goals and dreams & to experience a standard of excellence that says you can expect something bigger and better from your life. My Achiever will help us channel your efforts to find your purpose and “best self” and persevere until you have found solutions and joy…this is my perfect day! My Empathy and Relator will bring clarity and appreciation for what’s happening in your life, guiding me to take time to discover your likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams, and idiosyncrasies with the goal of making you feel worthwhile and valued. All to instinctively strive to do things right and revel in the opportunity to impart my time, energy, and resources to whatever needs to be done to go the extra mile and set the bar higher!
