I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support to individuals from all walks of life, with a particular emphasis on assisting athletes. With a background in Sport Management from Western Michigan University and as a former youth athlete, I understand the unique pressures and challenges that athletes face both on and off the field. Performance anxiety, high expectations on the self and possibly from others, or the frustration of in juries are simply a fraction of the issues that athletes of all ages can face.

Sometimes you may become overwhelmed due to changes in routine or major events such as a new school, grades, finances, becoming a new parent, losing a loved one, divorce, or conflict in relationships. These life events may lead to anxiety, low self esteem, lack of motivation, and loss of direction. These struggles appear in different ways for each person and lasts for varying amounts of time. However, we can not always recover on our own due to depression, anxiety, past trauma, or other underlying influence. I am a therapist (LPC), here to help you on your journey to healing and becoming your best self.

Life has it's ups and downs, stress, and challenges for all of us. Sometimes we need a neutral person to help us sort through our thoughts and feelings and identify our true needs, desires, and goals. When we have support and an increased insight into ourselves and others, we are better equipped to face even the most difficult challenges.

Choose the therapist, not the therapy. Quality mental health care is a real, human exchange; an opportunity to explore, strengthen, and change aspects of who you are. When psychotherapy is effective, the therapist and patient are creating openings, not closures. This is what heals.

I believe everyone has the strength within to overcome their challenges, but sometimes we just need a little extra support. That’s where I come in. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy space where we can work together to navigate issues, set goals, and make positive changes for a more fulfilling life. I use a mix of different techniques, mainly drawing from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions-focused, and cognitive behavioral theories. I understand that everyone’s journey is unique and I respect each individual's needs and perspectives.

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.
