Clients come to me struggling with different challenges like anxiety, trauma or sports performance.
Do you find yourself constantly worrying about everything? You’re an adult or teenager who is always feeling anxious even though you don’t have anything happening in your life that should make you worry, it is impacting your ability to focus and sleep, and you feel like nothing can help you relax. You may feel like you will never be able to calm your mind, but you’re ready to make a change and try something new. You’re ready to learn strategies to help you relax. You want to learn how to manage your anxiety so that you can start living your life to the fullest without worrying what that will bring. I want to help guide you there.

I specialize in working with individuals with high functioning anxiety who are struggling with self-esteem and perfectionism, as well as individuals with sports-related trauma.
Do you feel the pressure to be perfect all the time? A relentless pursuit that extends into every corner of your life, from the food you put on your plate, your relationships, the demands of your job, and the expectations surrounding your appearance. These expectations can be overwhelming, leading to feelings of inadequacy and frustration. But what if we shifted the focus from pursuing perfection to authenticity and self-compassion? You’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to redefine success and find strength in vulnerability. You are ready to love yourself. I want to help you get there.

I believe in treatment from the biopsychosocial perspective. From the biological perspective - pain management, nutrition, exercise, sleep; the psychological perspective - education, stress management, emotional regulation; and the social aspect - relationships, conflict resolution, and more. I provide an open and non-judgmental space where we can explore your life, thoughts, behaviour, emotions and relationships, and together work towards reducing unwanted thoughts and feelings. I also encourage nature therapy, where you reconnect with nature and improve your sense of peace.

Waitlist for new clients
You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Through it all, we learn the skills that protect us on this journey through the interpersonal world. We sometimes struggle to be our authentic selves because there is no SELF without the context of the OTHER. Each of us is a single being trying to be seen as we see ourselves in a never ending sea of often confusing but always important social interaction.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

You're the one who friends say "has it all together", the "high achiever", the one who is self-aware, confident, and clever.

Usually you can figure things out on your own, and you don't often ask for help, but sometimes you feel frozen, panicked and/or overwhelmed.

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.
