What is Performance Anxiety?

An excess of energy experienced as anxiety in a performance situation that often causes the person to tighten muscles, breathe fast and shallow, lose focus and typically “choke” under pressure. At Arizona Center for Neurofeedback, we offer mental performance coaching in Scottsdale, AZ.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Fear of failure, unsure of ability to perform
  • Shame, letting others down
  • Fear of success; is this level of success or attention sustainable?
  • Lack of confidence
  • How will it change my life in ways that will create more stress or pressure?
  • Overthinking things

Dr. Petta’s Approach is:

  • Data-guided, yet deeply human & compassionate
  • Brain-based, not blame- or label-based
  • Personalized, not one-size-fits-all 
  • Calm, collaborative, and empowering 

Dr. Petta specializes in data-driven, brain-based assessment and treatment, using QEEG brain mapping to identify the root causes of cognitive, emotional, and performance challenges—rather than simply managing symptoms.

Her work bridges clinical psychology and applied neuroscience, allowing treatment plans to be personalized, measurable, and outcome-focused.
