Hello! I am a Registered Psychologist and I am passionate about working with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, sports related concerns, and challenges in life, and helping them to overcome the impacts of these challenges. I believe the relationships and experiences in our lives influence our development and belief systems and inform the way we interact with our environment and the people in it. Understanding the impacts of experiences clients have had allows me to appreciate their journey while creating safety in a therapeutic relationship.

Trauma therapy begins with safety and body/brain research using Brainspotting to identify, target and release trauma, including sports injuries/performance, relational trauma, abuse, etc.
Have you experienced trauma that is negatively impacting your daily life? Are you experiencing performance anxiety, blocks, slumps, Focal Dystonia and/or want to expand performance/creativity? Do you have behaviors associated with craving, temporary relief, and long-term negative consequences that you are unable to stop? Brainspotting locates, targets, processes, and releases trauma in the brain and body, expanding performance and creativity, from the source.

Waitlist for new clients
I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including mindfulness, yoga, somatic, compassion-focused therapy, EMDR therapy, Sports Psychology, DBT, and Gottman couples therapy, in order to support individuals in being more connected, current, and creative in their relationship with themselves and the world.
I help clients shift from just surviving into thriving; realigning with who and how they want to be instead of being hijacked by outdated narratives as a result of past experiences. My focus is on creating safe trauma-informed spaces and inspiring a compassionate curiosity about "who am I?" "How did I get to this point?" "What else might be possible?". I have always been fascinated with how our experiences shape us and how we may discover meaning and inspiration. During this quest I have worked as a strength & conditioning coach, yoga teacher, and counsellor and these experiences have uniquely shaped how I show up as a therapist.

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, visualisation, 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.
