The subconscious stores feeling, memory, body monitoring, and body control. Through hypnosis, you are able to safely access; experience and release old highly charged emotional incidents. Related outworn habit patterns of thought and behavior are identified and reevaluated. New positive, growth promoting patterns are reinforced.

You’ve been trying to manage everything on your own, but you’re starting to wonder if it’s time for therapy. Whether it’s you or your child feeling overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, or life, it’s natural to struggle under that pressure. You might feel like you’re not measuring up, constantly battling anxiety as you try to meet everyone’s expectations—especially your own, which can sometimes feel unrealistic. These challenges can take a toll on your relationships and self-esteem. “Sometimes we're responsible for things not because they're our fault, but because we're the only ones who can change them.” Dr. Feldman Barrett

Do you know what one of the most powerful desires in the world is? To feel heard. My ideal client desires to feel heard, seeks no judgment, and wants to learn how to develop self-compassion. As a former athlete turned therapist, I recognize that life IS performance. And although it helps to have a voice to help with high-performance demands, sometimes it's hard to ask for that voice. As a proud blerd (black and a nerd), I can also help those willing to use aspects of their culture, or pop culture, or any movie, television show, anime, video game, or piece of music that allows one to reflect and try to embrace life uniquely.

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.
