I specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with sports performance issues, men's issues, and anxiety.
Are you an athlete struggling to play your best and unable to explain what’s holding you back? Are you a man feeling the pressure to never show weakness? Are you someone who is struggling to adapt to big changes that are happening recently in your life? You’re a capable person who rarely needs help, but you’ve felt off your game for a while now. You know something is different but you aren’t sure what’s keeping you down.

It is common to question your decisions in life. Sometimes, it can seem like life is going so fast you find yourself feeling lost, anxious or overwhelmed. Perhaps things have gotten so tough that you feel judged, overall worthless and a burden to your friends and family. Maybe thinking about going to class, talking in front of peers, or even getting groceries creates worry that you will be rejected. Are you in so much pain that you have gotten to the point that you have considered or attempted to end your life? Do you feel like your fears have begun to take over who you are? Whether you are ready to make a change or just need someone to listen, I am here. My hope is that you will feel accepted, safe, and empowered as you begin to take your life back. Together, we will work to discover direction and meaning that will lead you towards being fulfilled and secure. Often the times in life when we face our fears we grow the most. Having support or even a sense of accountability can provide enough strength to grow and find purpose.

I began my professional journey as a young adult working in various settings with people struggling to make better choices. As I worked with individuals from widely diverse backgrounds and walks of life, I began to appreciate the power of one hand reaching out. I became profoundly aware that most people are able to build a more fulfilling life, not because of good advice, but because another person was willing to walk with them, assist them in navigating unfamiliar territory, and be part of the process of discovering their potential.

No matter where we find ourselves in life, and regardless of who we are, we all have things that stand between us and the life we want. You may feel stuck in your career. The pressure and dissatisfaction from work may follow you home and impact your closest relationships. Maybe marriage and family have become a juggling act and it feels like both are about to hit the floor. It could seem like none of your dreams or goals are falling into place along the timeline you envisioned, and you feel isolated. Sometimes being alone isn’t nearly as heavy as feeling alone.

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.
