Being a child, teen, or young adult today can feel overwhelming. There is so much pressure to succeed, navigate relationships, manage emotions, and figure out who you are. Together, we work to deepen self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and build confidence. I specialize in working with those who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling with behavioral challenges, or navigating the impact of trauma and major life stressors. Clients often appreciate my approachable, down-to-earth style, which is grounded in evidence-based practices that support nervous system regulation and deeper healing, not just symptom relief.

I work with adolescents and adults (15+) who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. These patterns are often related to anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, relationships, or questions about identity and sexuality (LGBTQ+). Many clients already understand why they struggle (although some don't and that's fine too), but want help turning insight into real, lasting change.

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.
