Or maybe your performance in sports, school, or work has suffered recently and you're not sure how to get back on track.
I specialize in treating eating disorders, faith transitions/concerns, and performance concerns. My therapeutic approach aims to help you identify and move toward your values and goals while acknowledging the universality of pain in the process. With me you can expect a warm, collaborative relationship (with healthy doses of dry humor).

I help men get unstuck, effectively navigate through challenging transitions (divorce, life change, etc.), better manage symptoms of depression or anxiety, improve their relationships, and/or get back onto solid ground. Not to stereotype, but we men sometimes struggle to reach out for help (especially therapy). Yet we often thrive in partnership, in community, and when the road gets rough, research and experience show that we fare better if we don't go it alone. So, let's chat! I once heard that we should "talk about therapy like we talk about gong to the gym" - an exercise in strength. I like that.

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.
