Who are you outside of being an athlete, employee, or boss. As a Mental Health Therapist and 10 years experience in Sports Medicine, I have worked with thousands of athletes, aiding in their physical needs to get them back to full capacity and into competition. Through my experience I have found that, whether on a court or in an office, individuals can only be their best if they are focusing on their entire health and wellness. Their mental game is as, if not more, important as their physical wellness in finding success. I focus on five factors of holistic health: creative, essential, social, physical, and spiritual.

Becky is a licensed Clinician with a Sports Psychology Certification & specializes in helping athletes and teams break down mental barriers and reach peak performance in competition.
You have goals and a desire to excel but you are in a constant battle in your head with that nagging voice of self-doubt. You feel stuck; like shutting down, all attempts to avoid feeling this way. Your inner critic is common, but not helpful in becoming who you want to be. The most successful people and the highest performing athletes have learned to silence their inner critic and focus their mental energy differently. We work together to identify the barriers that prevent you from living life the way YOU want to, and create a roadmap to help get you to your optimal self.

Life can be full of challenges, stress, transitions, trauma, and struggle. Times when we feel stuck. How we perceive and feel about these experiences creates our story, how we view ourselves and the world around us. Working together we can find meaning, understanding, and navigate to a more fulfilling place. If you are struggling in relationships, work, sports, family life, or understanding self, I would love to be apart of your healing journey.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and holistic approach to the individuals I serve. By incorporating an overall wellness and "whole mind/body" approach with individuals, I believe each person can get the best out of themselves through mental health therapy. I utilize evidenced based clinical counseling techniques such as ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of sport counseling/psychology modalities into practice. Lastly, I take an individual approach to every person I treat, knowing that every person is different and deserves authentic, genuine, and exceptional mental health care.

I completed my master's internship at UNMC Counseling and Psychological Services where I had the opportunity to work with graduate and medical students. During this time, I started integrating neuroscience into treatment planning. I have found this evidence-based approach resonates well with my clients because they can better understand the way that they respond to their environment and how their internal processing frames the way in which they view the world.

I treat adults and adolescents with addictive behaviors, depression, anxiety, oppositional behaviors, and/or trauma history. I also help to guide family members of those with addictions. I enjoy seeing the progress that people make in all areas of their life when they are able to put aside addictive behaviors, reduce their emotional pain, and genuinely feel better about themselves. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and have used it to help people heal from trauma and reduce overall anxiety. I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Theory in my approach.

Are you feeling stressed or depressed? Perhaps you are struggling with a specific issue, feeling lost, or maybe you're feeling completely overwhelmed? Life can indeed be overwhelming. It sometimes diminishes our ability to see the solutions to the problems we are facing. There are many ways to deal with life's challenges. Sometimes the ways we choose to deal with them are unhealthy or counterproductive.

Life has a way of letting us know when it is time to reach out. Are you feeling overwhelmed, burdened, stressed, and ready for change, but not sure where to begin? Do you feel you have more to offer, but feel stuck? Then counseling is the right setting to have a conversation that may open doors to problem solving and provide tools for guidance. Growing up working in the family restaurant and being active as a student athlete, I didn't have the tools to manage the stress around me. While I was helping others to perform as a personal trainer, I knew I needed to become a counselor to help in a more wholistic way.

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.
