As a therapist, my ultimate goal is to help my clients achieve their desired change or growth. I am determined to guide you through the therapeutic process, one session at a time. In order to do this, I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. This involves creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I also strive to establish trust and mutual respect so that you can feel supported and understood. I use various evidence-based techniques and interventions in my sessions, tailored specifically to each client's needs and goals.

I enjoy working with clients who want to understand and better themselves. I've worked with clients who come in knowing that long for something more and know that they need help. I love empowering them to make their own decisions, set boundaries, and learn to love themselves.

Life has its struggles. We have all had to deal with anxiety or depression or other issues that have left us feeling less than satisfied with life. Losing a loved one for example, can be one of the hardest things to go through. These experiences can be challenging and painful. Maybe you have been trying to manage these issues alone, maybe you are tired, frustrated and unsure what to do. Feelings of hopelessness and frustration can be common when struggling with mental health issues. Talking to someone can help lessen that pain and frustration. You don’t have to keep living the same way, things can change.

When someone is struggling, the hardest part is often reaching out and acknowledging that you need help. You may be feeling sluggish or not as productive at work. You may not be performing as well as you would like to in an athletic competition. You may be recognizing difficulties relating to other people and forming connections. You might not be able to find joy in the activities you once did. You may be stressed and constantly worrying about what other people are thinking or how you are performing. All of these things can be difficult to understand and manage on your own, but there is great news, you don't have to do it alone!

Sports Performance Therapists

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.
