Taking the first steps in finding a therapist can be an intimidating experience for many people. Over the past twenty years as a clinical psychologist, I have been sensitive to my client's personal process of building rapport and trust. It is crucial to provide a space in which my client feels safe to share his/her personal life challenges without judgment, shame, or embarrassment.

Struggling with trauma or anxiety can affect every area of your life. Sleepless nights, avoiding social functions, and not being able to think clearly, all take their toll. Being tensed and stressed wears you out, or maybe anxiety holds you back in your work or personal life. Others don’t understand or give misguided advice, and you might feel isolated and alone. You keep looking for and trying different remedies and strategies, yet it still gnaws away at you. You know there must be a better way, and you long for the peace of mind and confidence others seem to enjoy. If this describes you, I likely can help.

I believe that therapy is a mutual relationship, a partnership involving mutual respect and empathetic understanding. Counseling should be more than just a method of solving a problem or achieving a goal - it should provide a way of opening us up to an awareness of ourselves - facilitating personal growth and development of character. I will not presume to know all of the answers and I don't believe in quick fixes. I promise to work with you side-by-side as you gain new insight and understanding in overcoming past and present events; obtaining knowledge and resources that will equip you in moving forward. We are in this together.

I like sports, movies, shows, music, food, and all sorts of things.
Every counselor has a different approach, personality, and feel. Good counseling usually means there is a good fit between you and your therapist. So, it’s important that you feel comfortable talking to me. I try to create a connection where you feel accepted, understood, and supported. Once we’re comfortable together, talking about complicated things (anger, depression, anxiety, relationships) becomes a lot easier. Some people may feel comfortable right away. Some take time to get there. I hope to talk about what’s important to you and hopefully do something about it.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. What should you look for? How do you find a good fit? What should you expect? These are common questions that many people have when trying to find a therapist. And at times, it can feel overwhelming. My best advice? Find someone you feel you'll be able to open up to. More important than the letters behind their name, more important than where they went to school, more important than their credentials or areas of expertise is their ability to connect with you!

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.
