Desert to Peaks Psychology
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our approach to working with athletes integrates sports psychology principles with a person-centered, performance-focused framework. As athletes ourselves, we understand the unique pressures athletes face, such as identity tied to performance, high standards, injury setbacks, and the mental demands of competition. Together, we will strengthen key mental skills such as confidence, focus, emotional regulation, and resilience, helping you perform at your highest level without sacrificing well-being. When working with injured athletes or those returning to sport, we address both the psychological and emotional impact of time away from competition. We work through fear of re-injury, loss of identity, and rebuilding trust in your body, while using structured mental training tools like visualization, goal-setting, and cognitive reframing. Our goal is to help you return not only physically prepared, but mentally stronger, more grounded, and equipped to compete with clarity and confidence.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Performance can feel inconsistent when pressure, expectations, or overthinking start to interfere. You might notice dips in confidence, difficulty staying focused, or frustration when you’re not performing at your usual level.
Our work focuses on strengthening your mental approach so you can perform more consistently. You’ll learn how to manage pressure, stay present, and respond more effectively during competition and training.
The goal is to help you trust your preparation, stay composed under pressure, and perform in a way that reflects your actual ability.

I love working with athletes who are interested in new tools like RTT hypnosis to work through sports performance blocks to increase their sports performance overall, or the emotion code for rebalancing.
