Counseling and Consulting Services
Individual Counseling & Consulting
I offer individual therapy and consultation for athletes. I believe that peak performance is only sustainable when mental health is fundamentally balanced. It is widely recognized in the sporting world that athletes can achieve significant breakthroughs using sport psychology. While most mental performance coaches teach mental strategies, many lack the clinical training required to address underlying mental health challenges. When working with me, athletes work with a highly trained professional who helps these strategies integrate deeply into their nervous system, providing compassionate support through both competitive hurdles and personal struggles.
Injury & Traumatic Experiences Recovery
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Experiencing are specialized therapeutic modalities that facilitate healing after physical injury and other high-stress events that are causing an athlete to feel "stuck," "frozen," or the "yips." Originally used with war veterans experiencing PTSD, EMDR is a therapeutic modality that uses eye movements to reprocess and reduce the distress a person has from past experiences. When applied to peak performance, this can help athletes move through stuck beliefs in the mind and stuck patterns of the body. For instance, if a player missed a game winning play, they may struggle with being in the spotlight again for fear of making a similar mistake. Or, if an athlete got injured working on a particular move, they may struggle to master that move in future attempts. EMDR helps eliminate distressing symptoms to return quickly to one's natural flow state of performance.
Team, Coach, & Parent Education
Empower your entire athletic community with sessions that foster collective resilience. I bring clinical expertise directly to the field, equipping teams, parents, and coaches with mental health literacy and psychological skills training. My presentations cover essential topics of peak performance including mindfulness, visualization, goal setting, optimal zones of activation, stress management, and optimal team dynamics.
Access & Inclusivity Commitment
I believe that high-quality sports psychology should not be a luxury restricted by financial means. I am dedicated to supporting athletes from underserved and low-income backgrounds by providing accessible resources and sliding-scale services. My mission is to ensure that elite-level mental health support is inclusive, empowering every athlete to reach their full potential regardless of their economic means, race, gender, or identity. If requesting sliding scale services, please indicate that on your inquiry form.
