I have 18 years of experience in the behavioral sciences as a clinician and educator. Over the years my approach to clients has evolved from counseling to creative problem-solving.
The mind doesn’t come with a user’s manual. But you can learn to use your mind. The mind is the user-interface for your neurosomatic (brain-body) system, similar to the screen of an iPhone or computer. Although we have limitless potential, we need the proper apps (mental strategies or programs) to utilize that potential.

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

You are sitting on your couch at home after a day of work and wondering for the thousandth time what your life looks like. You think to yourself, am I headed in the right direction to get what I want out of life? You wonder how to succeed in your career or to find a partner because you don’t even know where to start looking. When you ask a person for a date or a job you feel lost when you wonder what you should be asking or looking for in this person. If you are already in that relationship you’re wondering if you should stay or leave it. If you’re married, you are thinking similar thoughts.

“This shouldn’t be this hard!” You’re tired of being tired, fighting about the same things over and over, wanting trust with your person, and needing peace for yourself. When conflict repeats and trust erodes, you focus on what the other person is doing wrong, which leaves both of you feeling misunderstood and disconnected. You want the other person to change, but you don’t look honestly at your own patterns, reactions, and contributions to the relationship dynamic. Putting yourself in their shoes becomes less important when you don’t feel heard. You want things to go back to the way they were or forward in the ways you want.

A lot of the men I work with are high functioning on the outside. They show up for work, family, and responsibility, yet internally, they’re carrying stress, anger, anxiety, identity pressure, or relationship tension they’ve never really had space to unpack. Many were taught to perform, not process.

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.
