Are you or your child an athlete who excels in practice but struggles during games? Did you have a catastrophic injury and need to regain confidence to get back onto the field? Have you been dealing with performance anxiety, slumps, or mental blocks? It can be challenging to navigate these issues alone. Let me be the one who can help you find the solutions that you need. I have worked with athletes from the middle school, high school, college, semi-professional, and professional levels.

I use brainspotting to help athletes process anxiety, sports traumas, as well as personal traumas that can interfere with their performance on the field. I also use cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and internal family systems therapy. On average, clients can see results in six to ten brainspotting sessions.

I understand the hardships that athletes of all ages face in today's world, and I want to help! Reach out to me at the Center for Empowerment and Resilience to begin helping with becoming mentally resilient, optimistic, and ready for what the future holds!

I often use Brainspotting (BSP) in my practice. As the saying goes in BSP, "where you look affects how you feel." With BSP, you will utilize your visual field as well as the brain's innate ability to heal itself. In turn, you will be able to process past and present memories at a faster and deeper rate.
