Sports Performance Therapists in Florida
Assessment of Sports Related Concussions is an area of great interest and I have spent a number of years developing an expertise in this area.
Working with children and adolescents in the public schools has provided me with contacts and experience that I can use to help you manage what's best for your child. Learning difficulties are being looked at in new ways, especially in Florida and I can help you make sense of it. In addition, I have spent the last few years researching the effects of Sports Related Concussions on student-athletes and can provide consultation, baseline assessment, and follow-up for your child.

I work with clients who are athletes or other high achievers who are struggling with stress or balance in their lives. Many of my clients generally function well but need to work through a relationship issue, or want to learn to better manage anxiety. Many of my clients are also working through identity issues related to gender or sexuality, faith crisis work, motherhood, or being defined by their sports performance (i.e. Who am I besides someone who is really good at my sport?). An unhealthy emphasis on perfectionism when it comes to body image, performance, or religion is a common issue I help clients work through.

As a former Division I athlete, I am deeply connected to the world of sports and athletics.
When we work together, my goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without hesitation. I understand that starting counseling can feel intimidating, and diving into the parts of your life that are causing stress can be uncomfortable and unfamiliar. My approach is very collaborative; we'll work together to uncover your strengths, tackle any challenges, and guide you on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Sports Performance Therapists
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, visualization, 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.
