Please Stop Talking! Have you thought this about your past therapist? Have you wondered how they could try and help you when they did not stop long enough to get to know you? As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for 30 years, I have heard this complaint more than any other among my patients whom have previously been in psychotherapy. In my clinical practice I respect the patient as the expert on themselves and will work with you to bring out the insight, esteem, knowledge and coping strategies you had inside or were open to learning about.

Throughout our existence, we all move through times that can bring an enormous amount of sadness, anxiety and disturbance. Perhaps the days add up, and we end up living much of our lives in this suffering. If we hold on and search, it is that deep self inside, the one just beneath the everyday routine, who can not only find the motivation to talk about these pains, but the inspiration to transform them into healing, meaning and purpose. When we take the lens and zoom in, every single one of us can find passion and vision. Joy and strength.

Life is unexpected and full of unknowns. Familial, relational, and societal (among others) pressures are demanding and seem like they will never end. This is stressful and may cause you to feel depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and negative about your past, present, and future. You may feel like you have nobody to turn to or to ask for help. Do you feel like you're carrying a burden, beating yourself up, or overthinking?

Life is predictably unpredictable. Despite this, adapting to challenges may not always feel familiar or simple. Feeling understood and accepted is a powerful aspect to dealing with change, but not always available or prevalent. My goal is to provide support and tools while navigating through a variety of struggles and challenges. I strive to provide a holistic therapeutic approach that best fits each individual I work with.

Something needs to change, but you cannot put your finger on what that change is or how to go about making it. Life feels overwhelming and unrelenting and lacks meaning. You might be thinking, "My life is not everything I want it to be, and I want to figure out why that is." Perhaps, you wonder what makes you YOU and what that means for your work, your relationships, or personal self-growth. In therapy, we will holistically consider your story as we seek to restore balance and facilitate lasting change. You want to write new chapters in your story. Therapy can help you put pen to paper.

My mission is to support athletes (youth, collegiate, amateur/professional) to develop mental skills to improve their performance in sport. Developing mental skills can have a positive impact in all areas of one's life. Athletes may be seeking support to reduce performance anxiety, increase confidence and motivation, create effective routines, set short-term and long-term goals, avoid burnout, recover from injuries, and more. I also provide support to performers in the arts, including dance, theater, and music performance. This valuable work can be done in-season or while training in the off-season.

Trauma. A simple word with a heavy meaning. Trauma can be one event that shook you to your core, or a series of events that slowly made you feel like you no longer have control over your own life. Maybe your anxiety is making it difficult for you to be the person you want to be, or you’ve come to avoid certain places or events due to the way it makes you feel. Dealing with symptoms of trauma can make you feel like you’re a prisoner in your own mind. Life doesn’t have to be this way and you deserve peace and happiness. Trauma survivors need holistic approaches that are catered to the individuals needs.

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.
