When you feel stuck in patterns you want to break—ashamed, overwhelmed, or not yourself, repeating behaviors you swore you'd change or feel like the “black sheep,” you end up feeling disconnected, hopeless and struggle to set boundaries and acknowledge your needs. You feel drained and tired.

I work with individuals who want to better manage anger, stress, conflict, and the pressures of everyday life. Many of my clients are professionals, partners, and parents who feel successful in some areas but recognize their reactions, communication, or emotional patterns are impacting their relationships.
Some clients come on their own looking for personal growth, while others are referred by courts, attorneys, or employers. Through honest conversations, accountability, and practical tools, we focus on building self-awareness, improving communication, and creating healthier responses.

You are developing a relationship with a fellow human.

I am not a traditional therapist, as I am also a community organizer and educator.

Hello there, athlete and sport parents! I'm glad you're here. Being an athlete is amazing (most days), but it comes with challenges.

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.
