As a Sports Psychotherapist, Certified High Performance Coach, and former professional athlete, I work with athletes 13-yrs-old to the professional level in a variety of sports.
We have a life skills crisis in this country rather than a mental health crisis. Lack confidence? Struggle with anxiety? What happens when you encounter pressure to perform? Do you get overwhelmed? Stressed? Feel confused on how to make changes? Coping with addictive behavior? I am here to help! Through a short assessment process, we identify your innate mental wiring to prepare, predict, and even prevent when you struggle. This simple process leads to customized life/mental skills training to create consistent high performance in your sport or career path. And, yes, parents, I can help you draw the best out of your athlete.

My ideal client is an athlete or performer who has big goals, strong physical skills, and a great work ethic, but is under-performing too often. Typically it's performance anxiety, but often other issues are involved related to confidence, focus or motivation. What they want most often is to just perform in competition as well as they do in practice. I'm also very interested in helping people break through plateaus and go on to reach their highest dreams and goals. That's actually the main reason I'm in this profession.

For trauma and sports-related mental blocks, we will use Brainspotting to dislodge what has gotten "stuck" in your brain.
Picture this: You are going through daily life, but inside, you feel like you aren't reaching your potential. You are a success at work, on your team, at school, and yet...you know you have potential for more. But you just can't seem to get the results you want, almost like you are "blocked," somehow. You've tried everything to get past this "block" from books to podcasts to Tik Tok reels, but you just haven't found the right solution for you.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or a difficult life transition? I work with clients who want practical tools to cope, heal, and create meaningful change. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns of self‑criticism, emotional overwhelm, or all‑or‑nothing thinking that make it hard to move forward. Alongside these issues, I have a special interest in helping clients transform their relationship with their body, food, and self‑care. This might look like feeling ashamed of your body, using food or exercise to cope with emotions, or struggling to maintain healthy routines even when you truly want to feel better.

My clients are ideally willing to openly explore how current and past life stressors contribute to learned behavior patterns that may be ineffective and influence day-to-day suffering. I believe our life experiences influence us but do not have to define us or determine how we will function in the world. Additionally, we all have multiple identities, and we must learn to thrive in a world that is often ill-prepared to treat us with the respect and kindness we deserve. I understand the systemic obstacles often faced by people from diverse communities and seek to empower and support my clients.

Do you find yourself constantly slipping into unhealthy patterns and behaviors or seeking healing for what is still an open wound?

I believe that therapy begins with a non-judgemental and supportive environment. When people feel safe and comfortable they can find healing, gain new skills, and navigate the ups and downs of life. My approach is a combination of humanistic and attachment theory. My goal is to help people find their inner resources, develop healthy social connections, and create meaningful goals.

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.
