I have a passion for helping people reach their goals whether it is personal, relational, occupational or any other domain in your life. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping people and I enjoy understanding what makes each person unique. It is through this understanding that I am able to get to the root of the problem and help walk alongside my clients through their journey of healing.

I have been in the psychology field for over 15 years now. I love what I do and helping every client become successful. The relationship between the client(s) and myself is important in achieving the goals we set together. How our past experiences have influenced our current lives is a key issue. I feel that support systems in our daily lives are important to examine. The issues of separation, loss, freedom, dependence and independence are crucial to examine as one leaves home and parental influences. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families.

I understand how difficult it can be to go through life transitions or deal with personal challenges. You might be feeling the weight of performance pressure, struggling with anxiety or low self-esteem, or just feeling stuck in your current situation. You're seeking a sense of balance, wanting to rebuild your confidence, and looking for a way to push through the barriers holding you back.

We all experience life in a different way. This may include how we are raised, what we observe and how we experience it. Although, we are human, our perspectives are different. With that being said, counseling may be beneficial in addressing problems we are currently facing or issues that have been persistent for years. Counseling provides a safe non-judgment environment with guidance to explore the root cause to the presenting problem. A goal would be working towards a greater well-being. With that come self-awareness, self-compassion, self-kindness, self-care, and most importantly self-love.

Have you ever felt stuck in certain areas of your life and can tell it needs attention or relief? Sometimes, that mere curiosity is all we need to take steps toward a life filled with contentment, satisfaction, and emotional tolerance. I specialize working with adults who have experienced trauma in the past that is causing issues in relationships, work, performance, or overall important areas of life. Past trauma has a way of taking up space in our mind or body, and if left unresolved, will show up as anxiety, depression, withdrawal, and dissatisfaction. I am EMDR trained and use this as my main therapeutic modality.

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, visualization, 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.
