I've seen how when one person is struggling in a family, everyone can feel it. I use relationships and effective communication to help people express their feelings and better their connections to find peace and happiness as they learn to navigate their emotions and hardships in life. Healing can happen, and it often comes through finding unity with others and within.

In therapy, my goal is to help you expand your capacity, discover your strengths, and feel empowered to embrace the complexity and uncertainty of the world we live in. Coping is not the same as healing therefore I use a blend of evidence-based approaches including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and mindfulness. I also value the power of movement and somatic awareness in healing, and I integrate that wisdom when it's helpful.

Life is beautiful and we are capable of exploring all aspects of it: the good and the difficult. Both things are necessary to become a strong and better "us"! Though there is so much good, life also comes with unanticipated 'rocks in our backpack'. This can leave us confused, hurt, and feeling displaced. Effective therapy is about several factors: experience, client healing, a clear diagnosis, concise and appropriate goals, and the tools needed to effectively navigate difficulty along the journey of life. We love what we do and we are good at it!

I believe that if someone is willing to be honest with him or herself and is willing to change, then all things are possible. I work hard to help people find their own answers. If I were looking for a therapist, I would want to be sure that the therapist would be a great listener, would be willing to accept my values, and would be able to guide me into solutions for my problems. Those are the qualities I work hard to bring into therapy. Not very many therapists have emphasized men's issues in their practice. I help men understand themselves, and women seeking to understand their partner or other important people in their life.

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.
