I am passionate about sports, science fiction, fantasy and popular culture.
One of the important aspects of therapy for me is letting the client work at their own pace and without judgement from the therapist. I want the client to decide where therapy will take them and what it is that they want to get out of the experience.

As a former athlete and coach I have lived in the pressures, the worry, the stress of chasing dreams in sports and life.
Are you an athlete, parent of an athlete, or perhaps a coach? Are you looking to restore, maintain, or optimize your performance? Athletics and Mental Health have never been more connected than they are right now. We can learn, practice and execute skills to help us be the best version of ourselves on and off the field and I'm excited to join you on the journey to find your best today. NOT an athlete? That's okay too...performance is performance and every day symptoms of anxiety and depression threaten to derail us, but together we can work to grow through whatever you may be facing.

Hi there! No matter what brought you here, I think it's brave that you took these steps in seeking help. I'm an empath by nature and believe everyone has the ability to be the best versions of themselves, sometimes we just need a little support to get there. I believe a lot of the work is really about having a better relationship with ourselves. Through narratives, internal beliefs, and identities, I can help you build a version of yourself that you can feel confident and proud of.

I enjoy working with adults who suffer from grief and loss, trauma, and sport-related performance issues. To help overcome these challenges, I take a collaborative approach that focuses on understanding the problem to determine how best to resolve it. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous and self-directed. Thus, as a psychologist I help my clients realize this potential, promoting adaptive ways of coping, and work myself out of job as a result. Theoretically, I work from interpersonal, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives, and believe that the foundation of effective counseling stems from the therapeutic relationship.

Life comes with inevitable changes that can be difficult whether they are planned and wanted, or unplanned and dreadful. With these changes can come emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, or grief, just to name a few. The way we deal with these changes has a lot to do with our past experiences and perception. Our sense of self-worth influences almost every aspect of our lives, and when it's less than healthy, we can miss out on fulfilling our true potential or outright sabotaging ourselves.

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.
