I provide individual counseling that focuses on establishing goals and developing a plan to build sustainable practices for achieving peak performance in sports and in life. Sports counseling for mental health peak performance with a strength-based approach that assists the athletes in enhancing mental strength and emotional regulation. Topics addressed: anxiety, depression, confidence, injury, focus, recruiting, motivation, relaxation, team roles, consistency, general emotional health, mindfulness, and goal setting.
In the first session, it is important to build a therapeutic relationship. I work on getting to know the client as a whole person, not just their problem. It is critical to create a trusting relationship and have a non-judgmental conversation about what is going on in a client's life and what they envision for themselves in the first few sessions.
I am a very transparent provider. I start the work early on and do not enable clients for what they want to hear. I will challenge clients for the change they are seeking. I am straightforward and caring towards my clients of all ages. I believe folks have skills and strengths that need to be discovered and directed for the quality of life we all deserve.
