I have been a Hypnotherapist for the past seven years. I encourage our patient's ability for “self-healing,” utilizing the “power in their minds.” I am a firm believer that positive change is possible by simply reprogramming thinking and the workings of the mind. I recognize the beauty of Hypnotherapy has the potential to assist patients in being released from the "root cause(s)" of his/her current condition or characteristic. Hypnotherapy is used in addition to other forms of therapy. It is often used with other psychological or medical treatment. Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a number of emotional, physical illnesses.

I became a mental health professional because I had a period in my late 20s where I found myself in a life transition and existential/ spiritual search. I was fortunate to have connected with some very supportive integrative mental health professionals that weaved mind body elements into their practice. Both the journey of discovery and the modalities used by my mentors inspired me to give back to others in a similar way. As a professional I have found that there is tremendous value in being a catalyst towards personal growth and fostering personal power.

Intimate partner violence, Sexual Assault is a real problem. (7 out of 10) The shame and torture of the untold story. Crying when no one is looking. Wine, multiple partners, pills, hiding. Time isn’t being friendly. This ever looming weight in the distance. Unwanted outbursts. You can’t sit still, unconsciously trying to fill this dark void. Swept under the rug by humiliation, hopelessness and in despair, cold and without reprieve. Less than whole, desperate to know that there is an end that doesn’t end it all.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be challenging, and the journey may be harder before it gets easier. Opening up about the private, deep aspects of your life—your relationships, your marriage, your family—can be difficult, especially with someone you don’t yet know. You may be grappling with trauma beyond your control, or struggling with the consequences of a decision that caused pain to both others and yourself. You might even be trying to understand who you are now and how to become the person you want to be, but feeling unsure of where to start. Whatever you're facing, seek therapy, no one should do this alone.

My ideal client is ambitious, capable, and ready for more, but feels stuck between where they are and where they know they could be. They’re juggling too many priorities, second-guessing key decisions, and frustrated by inconsistent results. They don’t lack intelligence or drive; they lack clarity, structure, and a focused path forward. They want momentum, confidence, and a strategy that actually works. They want to feel in control.

You’ve always been the one who holds it all together—high-achieving, overfunctioning, thoughtful, maybe even a little perfectionistic. But under the surface, you're exhausted. You’ve spent years managing stress, meeting others’ needs, and pushing through symptoms no one can explain. You’ve done everything you’re supposed to, but it still feels like too much—and not enough. You want more than coping. You want to feel at home in your body, grounded in who you are, and free from the patterns that keep you stuck. You’re ready for a different kind of healing—one that doesn’t just ease the pain, but changes how you move through the world.

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.
