The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

Your inner self-critic takes up too much space in your head. People keep saying you’re “too sensitive,” as if it’s a bad thing. You’re worried you're either too much or not enough – and sometimes you’re both at the same time! There's a part of you that knows you deserve more, but there always seems to be something holding you back. As a LPC (Counselor) and a Registered Dietitian specializing in trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, self worth, relationships, and life transitions, I have been able to bear witness to the incredible inner transformation of my clients toward a more joyful, authentic life.

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.
