Sports Performance Therapists in Upper Lake, CA

I love helping folks that walk through my door feeling lost and unsure find their best, true self. I actively encourage looking at our learned behaviors that lead us to masking and hiding who we truly are to pass and "appear well" when inside it is exhausting and feels inauthentic. I provide collaborative and strengths-focused counseling to discuss and deconstruct whatever feels like it is limiting your growth, past or present, even if that thing is yourself!

Is that painful experience or worry stuck on repeat in your mind? Maybe it was a scary incident, negative comment, embarrassing moment or even a sports injury. Or maybe you're nervous AF about college or grad school exams, public speaking, or playing in your game. Regardless, you're tired of it bothering you so much. And you're fed up with it preventing you from doing what you want to do. But you're ready to feel calm. You're ready to perform well without questioning your self-worth. And most of all, you want to reclaim joy, move forward with confidence and feel like yourself again. I want to help you get there.
