Life changes in expected and unexpected ways that can leave people feeling stressed, lost, confused or anxious and depressed. It is my goal to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere, where my clients can feel free to express themselves genuinely. I want to be a catalyst in the therapeutic process by offering the unconditional positive regard and empathy to help you grow emotionally. I believe therapy is a collaboration between the client and therapist. I may possess the clinical training but you are the expert on your life so we have to work together to find what will work best for you.

Have you ever felt like a stranger in your own home or all alone in a room with close family members and friends? It’s normal to feel that way at times, but how you respond is pivotal. It is so easy to lose sight of self care when you are busy caring for others. If you can relate, take proactive measures before those challenges turn into severe medical issues such as major depression, anxiety, anger management issues or grief. Free yourself from psychological bondage.

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.
