I provide individual and couples therapy. I have worked with clients who are struggling with self worth, trauma, addictions, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety, performance challenges (sports psychology) communication challenges, life stress, and workplace difficulties. The feedback that I get from my clients is that they feel seen, heard and supported. While many people come to me struggling with issues in their lives, I also know that therapy does not have to be always so intense. Laughter and joy are a part of my sessions, as are space for deep discovery and emotional connection.

I am a Registered Psychologist who appreciates the importance of empowerment and autonomy for all individuals. I value a client's need to be heard, respected, supported, and given a safe space to uncover their skills and strengths. I have a special interest in supporting teens and young adults as they navigate changes, life transitions, and challenges (ie. anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, motivation, identity, sports and school issues, and low self-esteem). My background in sports and education provides valuable experience with building connections and a genuine understanding of teens, youth, and young adults.

My goal is to help you maximize your fullest potential on and off the playing field, as well as provide helpful strategies to help you achieve your goals. Many obstacles can present themselves in our daily lives that can be overwhelming, confusing, or uncomfortable. This can leave us feeling disconnected from our experiences, goals, and ultimately our lives. By removing barriers that may prevent you from performing optimally, you make space for a bigger opportunity to grow, learn, and develop more self-awareness and to get a closer, deeper look at what you are capable of.

My goal as a sport and performance psychologist is to help change sport and performance culture to be a more healthy community while also reducing mental health stigma.

They struggle with understanding how to cope with these issues and the tools necessary to make progress and not have these issues impact their life the way they are. They want someone to understand their perspective & provide them with tools to help make their life easier/happier. I also work with many couples. My ideal client is one that wants to make change & is open to the process.

Overcoming life’s troubles can be really hard. Two out of every three people suffer in silence; often feeling ashamed or fearing judgement & rejection. Times have changed, and asking for help is no longer considered a weakness. In fact, it’s one of the most important, life-changing decisions we can make for ourselves.

You’re exhausted all the time, but struggle to sleep. You try to relax but it never works and you end up snapping at family/friends. No motivation which leads to procrastination. “What’s wrong with me?” you might ask yourself. "I don’t even feel like myself anymore". Dreading to go to work. Even hobbies or hanging out with friends doesn't bring much joy. Everything just seems so draining! You feel overwhelmed, not good enough, and irritable. Feeling lost and stuck because nothing you try seems to work. You want someone that "gets it" and can help you generate some practical solutions for your relationships, work, and life.

I'm excited to now offer in-person sessions! Life is beautiful and can be full of challenges and stress. I specialize in helping individuals gain deeper self-understanding and to learn strategies to feel more grounded and connected with life. Trauma is a human experience that we have all faced. If left unhealed, we may feel triggered in our daily lives and feel out of alignment with ourselves. This could manifest as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, avoidance, and unhealthy relationship patterns that can prevent us from feeling our best. We are capable of healing, and my passion is facilitating this journey.

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.
