Our life experiences have shaped our perceptions, coping methods and relationships. For 25+ years I have researched symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety): how they develop from life experiences, and how to dismantle them in therapy. Together, we will work to assist you in overcoming your sadness, fears, worries, and low self-esteem while helping you navigate stressors at home, work and family. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and friendly space. We can build on your courage to support your healing and growth. Therapy offers freedom to explore with compassion, to find stability, and to create new possibilities.

A lot of the time, our first instinct is to seek support when we may feel we are drowning in our current struggles. The first step is always the hardest, in where we fear we will not be understood. My belief is that because each one of us is unique, our struggles and thus our journey in healing will be too. I aim to be an anchor in these turbulent times and be a beacon of unfiltered, unconditional and non-judgemental space in exploring our internal processes. In collaboration, we can address motivational, acceptance, behavioural, cognitive, social, biological and cultural aspects that can work in tandem in maintaining our struggles.

I have always been interested in relationships & have always believed that our optimal well-being is intimately tied to the relationships in our lives. Relationships are not only with our romantic partners but with our families, friends, children, & ourselves. Unfortunately, throughout our journeys, we may find ourselves disconnected from those whom we love most. It can be difficult to navigate the barriers & stressors we face with our significant others & family members, & sometimes it may be overwhelming.

Mindfulness based psychotherapy is a powerful approach to healing that is based on the ancient wisdom of how to work with our own minds. Mindfulness is defined by paying attention, with intention, in the present moment, without judgment. Clients who practice mindfulness skills share that their lives are more positive, they have an enhanced sense of well-being and better relationships all around. In Mindfulness Psychotherapy, I work with clients to support their development of moment-by-moment awareness by teaching a variety of skills and techniques, which will aid in their development.

If challenges at work or home are leading to lower functioning (e.g. poor sleep, difficulty thinking, more arguments in relationships), maybe it's time to get it assessed. Mood and physical issues often signal a need for change, extra support, and/or, a reset of sorts. Your body systems hold vital information: if you're not sure how to decipher the messages, let us help you.

In a safe and secure therapeutic setting, my clients can find the comfort to express themselves authentically. I aim to assist them in moving towards self-acceptance, self-compassion, and developing strategies to enhance their connections with others. Additionally, we can address emotional management techniques, including anger management, during our sessions.

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.
