Sports Performance Therapists in Franklin, TN

At White House Sport Psychology we specialize in sports performance, sport psychology and mental health for athletes. We help athletes overcome challenges in and out of sport (i.e. mental blocks, performance anxiety, perfectionism, personal issues, etc). We'll help you focus on what is most important to you and teach you how to overcome the barriers that get in your way (e.g. stress, anxiety, relationships, etc.). This will include helping you gain a deeper understanding of your concerns as well as teaching you specific skills and strategies you can use to manage the challenges you face, and ultimately move toward your goals.

I am located at Nashville Neuro Psychiatric Associates near Music Row. Grief, anxiety, trauma, and sports performance are my primary areas of interest. As a former athlete, coach, and organizational leader, I understand the impact our inner voice has upon our confidence, mood, and relationships. Gaining insight into ourselves can free us to overcome obstacles that seemed historically insurmountable. I enjoy working with children adolescents and adults; athletes, artists, and actors. Depending on the unique needs of the individual, we may utilized humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, or psychoeducational techniques.

Growing up in a military family, I sought a deep need for connection and affirmation, which I pursued through competitive sports and academics. It wasn’t until my early adulthood that I realized this deep need was a common thread with individuals across many backgrounds and cultures. I began to understand the value of the “wholeness” of a person rather than the perfection we are taught to run after. My desires for helping others continued with life experiences such as marrying at a young age, relocating to new cities, and becoming a new mother.

Everyone has rough times caused by life situations, mental health or a combination of both. Whatever the reason, it is the actions you take next that determines success or staying stuck. No matter what age or arena you are in!

I would love the chance to work with you on the areas of your life where you feel stuck. Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD (I use EMDR Therapy to treat this), performance issues (both athletically, and professionally), relational issues with family, spirituality issues, grief and loss are all areas in which I have experience. My primary job is to walk with you through the areas you are struggling in and support you all along the way. My greatest desire as a therapist is to see my clients healthy in every sense of the word. I am ready now to help you.

Many obstacles can interfere with living life to its fullest, but they don't have to. Creating a focused plan and sticking with it can be life changing, and at times deeper issues are at play. In my practice I work with high performing individuals such as Athletes, Entertainers and Public Figures, as well as their families. Having competed and worked in the Sport and Entertainment Industries for more than twenty years, I've developed a unique approach incorporating performance psychology, positive mental health and mindfulness to consistently help clients around the world meet and exceed their goals.

Does it feel like you’re drowning in the riptide of life? Being a human can be overwhelming and complicated. It is common to be bombarded with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that you aren't sure how to cope with. Struggles with low self-worth, perfectionism, thoughts of suicide or self-harm, bullying or trouble with peers, destructive behaviors, and trouble communicating (or even just acknowledging) needs can feel unbearable. I want to help you face these difficulties head on and move from just keeping your head above water to thriving.

Sometimes, your teen has experienced a traumatic event or is just having difficulty navigating life’s changes, such as divorce; the death of a family member; adoption; or adjusting to school, friends, and their self-identity. Communicating how they feel, especially to their parents, is not a teen’s strong point. As a result, both the teen and parents become frustrated. Adolescence is a significant life transition. Without some guidance (or interpreter), the process becomes a rocky road for all involved.

As children, most of us didn't get taught what we needed to know so that we could become mature adults and often times we find ourselves asking "why do I do what I do" & "how did I lose myself." There are concrete answers to these questions which can change your life. I teach clients how to better understand their story so that they may connect the dots.

My practice is psychoeducational assessment only. Please note that I do not provide therapy. My clients are typically families of students in preschool through college who have suspected exceptionalities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, TBI, giftedness, etc. Client goals typically include improved functioning, clarity, diagnosis when appropriate, strategies, recommendations, and advocacy. What clients say is most helpful is having test data and my clinical judgment to provide clarity, then help them navigate what to do with that data and how to get the help their student needs.
