Hello! I am a Registered Psychologist and I am passionate about working with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, sports related concerns, and challenges in life, and helping them to overcome the impacts of these challenges. I believe the relationships and experiences in our lives influence our development and belief systems and inform the way we interact with our environment and the people in it. Understanding the impacts of experiences clients have had allows me to appreciate their journey while creating safety in a therapeutic relationship.

If you are struggling with anxiety, post-traumatic experiences, occupational stress injuries or stress I believe that I can help you develop skills and techniques to help overcome the difficult times.

If your willing to work with me then I promise to do my best to help you out or find someone more suited to help you.

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.

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.
