Are you a high school, college, or professional athlete with anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, or mental blocks/Slumps that are affecting your performance and daily life? Are you exhausted by the pressure to be perfect, wondering what life would be like with less stress and more balance? The pressure to juggle sports, school, relationships, and personal life is overwhelming, and it can leave you feeling drained. You're not alone. Let's work together to help you find your confidence, manage stress, and perform your best on and off the field.
I specialize in helping athletes manage the mental and emotional challenges of high performance. I offer tailored strategies to reduce anxiety, improve focus, and build resilience. Through EMDR and other techniques, we can work together to address performance blocks, past trauma, and stress, helping you thrive both inside and outside your sport.
As a former college Div 1 athlete I understand the unique pressures and demands athletes face both mentally and physically. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in different level and sports. I strive to support athletes in their journey to peak performance and would love to help you or your child. Reach out for more info.
