I also have a niche specialty in treating issues specific to sports performance.
Life’s emotional journey does not always offer us a clear path to follow. As we search for improved well-being, sometimes it helps to recognize that we can enact change in our lives. And as we begin to choose our own way, we learn that we can manage stressors and reduce suffering. With gentleness and compassion, we will co-construct an affirming, inclusive, and accepting therapeutic relationship. I strive to find shared lived experience to promote and sustain meaningful advances in your life.

Some people seek therapy not because they lack insight or discipline, but because their usual ways of coping, such as overthinking, staying busy, and staying in control, no longer work for them. You might be accomplished, responsible, and outwardly “fine,” yet feel tense, burned out, or emotionally stuck. My approach to therapy is collaborative but not passive; it involves actively engaging with patterns that once helped you survive, but now limit your ability to feel present, connected, or at ease.

This isn't talk therapy with a sports metaphor.
You can't get out of your own head. The racing thoughts, the second-guessing, the voice that won't stop analyzing every move — it follows you from warm-ups to the starting line to the ride home. You know what you're capable of. But when it counts, something takes over — your chest tightens, your legs won't listen, and your body feels hijacked. Performance anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt don't just hurt your game. They steal the joy that brought you to your sport. That's not a character flaw. That's your nervous system stuck in threat mode. At Summit, we help athletes compete from freedom, not fear.

As a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience in community mental health, medical, military and sports settings, I have provided clinical support for individuals experiencing a wide range of anxiety producing situations and life events.
Life presents us with many situations and many requirements that are very stressful. Trying to cope and manage these events can cause both anxiety and depression if the challenge seems overwhelming or unattainable . Many of these stressors may be very specific situations such as performance as an athlete or musician or public speaker. Some are more unpredictable such as coping with a loss or life transition. So often we expect ourselves to "push through" or "deal with it" and we don't accept and honor the difficulty of these stressors. Many times, despite our best efforts it is difficult to deal with these situations on our own.

Nicholas believes that many of the struggles people carry - anxiety, chronic tension, difficulty feeling safe or at ease, or getting stuck in repeating patterns—are not signs that something is wrong with them, but adaptations the nervous system developed in response to past experiences. Therapy becomes a process of gently bringing awareness to these patterns so the body can soften, reorganize, and discover new possibilities.

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.
