Reese is a Mental Performance Consultant and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. She earned her Ed.M. in Counseling and Sport Psychology from Boston University and her B.A. in Psychology, with a minor in Sport Management, from Trinity University.
A Southern California native, Reese competed at an elite level with Eagles Soccer Club in Ventura County before continuing her soccer career at Trinity University. As a two-time team captain, she helped lead her team to four consecutive conference tournament championships and NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Sweet Sixteen finish. During her senior year, she was recognized as the Outstanding Senior in Sport Management for her contributions both on and off the field. While completing graduate school at Boston University, Reese fulfilled her mental performance training hours by working with student-athletes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as youth and semi-professional athletes.
Reese’s approach to sport psychology is grounded in the belief that peak performance and overall well-being go hand in hand. She believes athletes perform at their best when they feel connected, healthy, and able to find fulfillment in both sport and life. Her work is rooted in person-centered principles and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while also drawing from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help athletes build practical mental skills, increase psychological flexibility, and remain engaged in their performance even during challenging moments.
Reese takes a collaborative, individualized approach, meeting athletes where they are while considering the unique demands of both their sport and their lives outside of competition. She strives to help athletes navigate challenges with confidence, stay grounded under pressure, and cultivate a strong sense of identity that extends beyond sport. Reese’s philosophy has been shaped by her graduate training, applied work with athletes across multiple levels of competition, and her own experience as a collegiate athlete.
