REDISCOVER BALANCE, PURPOSE, AND OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
Sport has shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you.
For new, active, or retired athletes, mental health wellness can suffer when the game has been your everything…
For so many athletes I work with, sport is more than a passion—it’s a refuge. It’s where you’ve channeled your pain, built resilience, and found purpose. No one can take away what the game has given you: the discipline, the camaraderie, the sheer joy of doing what you love. Those moments—the wins, the growth, the times you pushed past what you thought possible—are yours to keep.
But sometimes, the game that gave you so much can also mask the parts of yourself that need healing.
Old wounds and unresolved traumas are covered by the drive to perform, to win, to keep going at all costs
Life off the field––a breakup, family dynamics, body image struggles––has taken unexpected turns
The disappointment of unmet promises
The pro career you worked so hard for didn’t pan out––what now?
What if you could take back your power—not by proving anything to anyone else, but by rediscovering who you are beyond the game? What if the qualities that made you a standout athlete—resilience, determination, focus—could help you navigate life’s setbacks and create something new, something meaningful?
THERAPY FOR ATHLETE MENTAL WELLNESS
Honoring the incredible strength sport has built in you while uncovering and healing the parts of you that have been left behind.
What happens in your body when you’re in the zone of your sport—those split-second reactions, the drive to push through pain, the emotions you tuck away to stay focused—is deeply tied to how you navigate life outside of the game. Your nervous system doesn’t just impact your performance on the field; it shapes your relationships, your emotional resilience, and how you respond to life’s challenges.
It is possible to not only understand the connection between what feeds your athletic edge and your nervous system, mental blocks, and emotional responses, but also find clarity about what that means for you. Therapy is what is able to bridge that gap.
Learn more about how your nervous system and mental health are connected—and how uncovering these unseen parts can lead to deeper strength and a more fulfilling life––in this article.

I want you to know:
Showing up fully present. and powerful is possible for you.
The mental blocks, the pressure, the fear of falling short—they don’t have to hold you back. You have the strength to overcome them and rediscover the joy that brought you to the game in the first place.
Because here’s the truth: sport is supposed to be fun. It’s meant to be a place where you feel alive, connected, and free to give your all—not trapped by doubt or weighed down by unseen battles.
If the mental blocks are keeping you from feeling that freedom, it’s time to take the first step toward breaking through them. Let’s work together to uncover what’s standing in your way and help you show up as the powerful, present, and joyful athlete you’re meant to be.
I also understand your time is valuable. That’s why therapy with me is designed to fit seamlessly into your demanding schedule—efficient, impactful, and productive. The time you invest here is a worthwhile investment in yourself, your performance, and your future.
Using EMDR and nervous system-informed therapy, I can help athletes like you identify and address the root causes of performance issues. Together, we’ll rewire your mind and body to unlock optimal health and mental clarity, so you can perform at your highest level with confidence and ease.
If stepping up to the plate leaves you frozen, the missed three-pointer still replays in your mind, or the weight of leading your team keeps you up at night… know this: there is a way to bring balance to the pressure you face on the outside and the unseen battles within. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
SPORTS PERFORMANCE + MENTAL RESILIENCE
Perform at your highest level while feeling like your strongest self by understanding and regulating your nervous system.
“We all want to be the best versions of ourselves. And talking to a therapist, being vulnerable, opening up about what you’re dealing with, it only helps. Nobody can deal with life all alone.”
