In life we are faced with challenges we don't expect and there are times when we are left wondering how to move forward. I believe everyone has the strengths required to overcome these challenges, and therapy can be the key to unlocking and utilizing them. I have a passion for working with athletes and first responders, as well as anyone looking to work through the puzzle of their life. I welcome bookings from all backgrounds and experiences, and I work with adults, adolescents, groups, teams, and organizations in a collaborative way towards shared goals and outcomes.

I believe that we should all have the skills and tools to be successful and resilient while finding your voice. I believe that confidence and self-esteem are important in our lives and that our goals should be consistent with our own desires. I work from a holistic perspective and hope that even though the skills we work on may be sport-specific but that you can adapt those skills to work in other areas of your life. My goal as a sport and performance psychologist is to help change sport and performance culture to be a more healthy community while also reducing mental health stigma.

Imagine a space where you are fully listened to, a place where you can talk about the things you need to and not be judged for it. Each person struggles sometimes, that is normal. With therapy, those struggles may become smaller and easier. I listen carefully to spot and highlight the places that you are doing well. We work through where you want to go and the best way to get there. You then take these skills that you've learned so that you can solve future struggles that you may encounter.

Using mind-body-spirit therapies, we focus on resilience, what and you love, how you have dealt with past issues, what you have already created or accomplished in life. What is your "intention" personally, in relationships, for work/creativity? Anxiety, depression, trauma, living well with chronic pain, health, relationships, work place, loss of meaning or direction in life, and creative performance. I am best suited to clients who are interested in incorporating body-mind modalities as well as "talk". Teleconferencing (Zoom, FaceTime) works very well . In person is available.

Life can sometimes be a bit of a handful. Feelings of stress, overwhelm, and/or maybe just not knowing where to turn or what to do next. Often those times of challenge are our greatest growth, but it is difficult to see the opportunity for growth at the time. Sometimes just talking about those challenges, can help one gain perspective and develop a plan forward. My goal in therapy is to provide my clients with an objective perspective to see their problems or challenges differently, perhaps less daunting, helping them find a way forward. Life happens to all of us. I believe people are more capable than they realize.

Sports Performance Counsellors

How does sports psychology work?

Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualisation, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?

The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?

Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?

Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
