I am also a Certified Mental Game Coach and Sports Nutrition Coach, focusing on athletes and coaches.
Are you transitioning to or from college? Do you experience anxiety around sports performance and strategy? Is the need to be perfect ingrained in you? I work with young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship stressors. Whether it's graduating high school and moving on to college or graduating college and moving on to the "real world", we can do this together. Encountering feelings of anxiety, perfectionism, poor self-esteem, and depression are all common. Bringing a consistent space for you to process, I will work through patterns that just aren't working for you anymore.

I am a dedicated clinician with the mission to help others recognize and reach their potential by promoting their emotional and mental well-being. Resiliency is a skill that I emphasize throughout treatment. For some the need for crisis intervention or need for short term solution therapy is appropriate. Others need long term, psychodynamic therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy. The chosen modality is always tailored to the needs of the client. "Choose your attitude, choose your life."

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.
