For the past 25 years, I have worked as a licensed psychotherapist with a PhD. I have been helping those who are searching for crystal clear waters, wanting inner peace and seeking integrity. It is within this context that the healthy mind will gravitate light of all kinds. Whereas, the sick mind will stumble in the darkness. I invite you to come and see me. We can do it! If there is a will there is a way. Let’s celebrate our positive and erase the negatives.

I aim to create a sanctuary of support for you to come into connection with yourself. By learning to listen deeply to your body, you help create the conditions to recalibrate your nervous system, which can open up fresh perspectives. From this new vantage point, an embodied shift toward self-compassion and awareness is possible, making room for more vitality, intimacy, and enjoyment. You will have the opportunity develop new tools to stay grounded in the face of life’s stressors, and tend to areas of discomfort, be them physical or emotional.

In relationship with counseling participants, my approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and I draw on somatic and mindfulness-based interventions. This means that you can expect a non-judgemental environment to increase your understanding of self with the belief that each participant has their own force for therapeutic change within themselves.

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.
