I help elite athletes, high-performers, and professionals break through mental blocks, overcome performance anxiety, and push past limiting beliefs. Whether recovering from injury, navigating life transitions, or facing high-pressure decisions, your mindset is key. Even the most driven individuals face self-doubt and fear of failure—but you don’t have to stay stuck. As a former athlete and coach, I understand the challenges of identity, pressure, and expectations. Let’s work together to achieve your goals and perform at your best, effortlessly in flow.
Using EMDR, DBT, and performance psychology, we’ll reprocess past experiences, build confidence, and develop the mental resilience needed to thrive. If you're struggling with mental recovery of an injury, decision paralysis, burnout, or uncertainty about your next move, we’ll create personalized strategies to help you stay focused, adaptable, and in control.
Your mindset is one of your greatest tools. I understand the unique pressures of high-stakes environments, whether in sports or professional life. With EMDR expertise and a supportive approach, I help you overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve your goals. You can perform at your best—both in your sport or profession and in life.
