These challenges often intertwine with outdoor adventure sport needs; such as barriers to performance and sports related trauma processing.
If you're here, something probably feels stuck. Maybe old patterns keep repeating, a difficult past still shapes your present, or life doesn't quite fit the person you actually are anymore. I want you to know that where you are right now isn't where you have to stay. I work with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I have a passion for supporting athletes and outdoor adventurers — the fear, the injuries, the pressure to perform, the challenges that show up in relation to sport. I also work with people in life transitions and those exploring non-traditional relationships or lifestyles. I'm LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyamory affirming.

Anxiety and stress are such understandable things to experience in early adulthood. Another description of anxiety is uncertainty, and this time of life is definitely full of it! What should I do with my life? Where should I go to school (is school even the next step I want to take?) If so, what should I study and do for a career? Should I date or not and how do I know if I should move forward in a relationship? Where do I want to live? How do I embrace responsibilities and still enjoy the things I want to in life? All of these questions and more are very common to experience in early adulthood

Clients who have sports and performance anxiety, existential concerns, or other anxiety-related challenges can expect an exploration of how their lived experience, desire for change, and cognitive approach intersect.
You're capable of more than you're showing up as right now — and you know it. Maybe it's the moment in competition when your body tightens and the shot, the serve, the audition slips. Maybe it's the meeting where the words you rehearsed disappear. Maybe it's a quieter ache: the sense that meaningful work, real connection, or a fuller life is sitting just out of reach. I help athletes, performers, and professionals get unstuck. My clients tend to be high-functioning people whose anxiety has started costing them — in performance, in relationships, or in the slow erosion of feeling like themselves.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, ADHD, depression, family issues, or the general stress of life, you don’t have to keep spinning your wheels.

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.
