My ideal client is a thoughtful, self-aware adult navigating a difficult season of life who wants more than just symptom relief. They want clarity, insight, and meaningful change. They may be facing a major life transition, grief or loss, relationship strain, retirement ambiguity, work stress / burnout, imposter syndrome, questions about identity or purpose, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.
They are often people who have spent much of their lives being the responsible one and who now need space to focus on themselves, make sense of what they’re experiencing, and move forward with greater confidence.

A question I regularly get is, "What is Therapy?" "What does it do?" If you ask 100 therapists, you may get as many different answers. My take on therapy is that it is a space where you can lay out your problems and difficulties in a way that they begin to feel more manageable, then develop insights and new perspectives on how to address these problems. Essentially, it provides a new way to look at your challenges and the knowledge and insight to overcome them.

I believe that every individual deserves to feel seen, heard, understood and feel stable. The Journey takes effort, time, and work, but the feeling and reality that you experience when you come out on the other side makes it worth while.

We all deserve the opportunity to live healthy, fulfilling, authentic lives — and I’d be honored to help you create a path to that life.
I am particularly passionate about supporting folks dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and serious and/or chronic illnesses (including cancer), as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community exploring their sexuality or gender identity. If you feel grief or anxiety over something that other people don’t quite “get” (like the loss of a pet or the state of the climate) I can provide an affirming, supportive environment to process and sit with those complicated feelings.

The ideal client for me is someone who understands and admits there are areas of their life that need further evaluation and a yearning for information and knowledge of how to better their situation. With me, clients will begin to understand their situations from different perspectives, delve into the various emotions that arise, and are open to being challenged in the most respectful and compassionate way. Working to understand their situation, their emotions, and identifying what they have control of is one of many steps needed to improve symptoms, confidence, growth, and outlook. Together, we got this!

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.
