Sports Performance Therapists in San Diego, CA
Do you sometimes feel like you’ve done all the right things and yet it feels off? Do you struggle with not feeling good enough despite your achievements? Maybe you’re facing anxiety, burnout, or trauma. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I work with those who feel burdened by perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, or the lasting effects of early life experiences that shaped how they see themselves and others. These patterns often show up in relationships—getting stuck in unhealthy dynamics, overgiving, or repeatedly choosing partners who aren’t emotionally available.

I am here to help you achieve greater wellbeing and fulfillment in life and sport. It is normal to develop anxiety, depression, and trauma in response to the pressure to perform in our modern world, and some turn to substances and other unhelpful coping behaviors to help. Many youth and adults who are athletes and in the general population do not always have the support needed to thrive. That’s where I come in.

You seem fine on the outside, but inside you feel you are not good enough, a failure, never enough. You want to be able to go through the day without feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or all on your own. You're your own worst critic. You don't want to need alcohol or pot or comfort food to cope. You want to be able to handle your emotions better. You're wondering if life will ever get better, or if this is as good as it gets. Deep down, you feel guilty or ashamed. Social events may be difficult for you. Maybe you've been through a trauma (abuse, car accident, relationship breakup, etc.) and are having trouble moving on.

I combine clinical psychology with sports psychology and performance tools to help clients manage anxiety, ADHD, and perfectionism, sharpen focus, and build resilience.
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like “enough”?
Do you find yourself battling anxiety, overthinking, or pressure to be perfect?
Do you struggle to stay focused, easily lose track of tasks, or feel restless and scattered—even when you’re trying your hardest?
You’re not alone. Many high performers—athletes, professionals, and students—experience the heavy toll of perfectionism, ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and self-doubt. These challenges can make it difficult to stay present, confident, and consistent, especially in high-pressure situations.

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.
