Which best describes you?

I'm seeking mental health therapy.

If you're tired of masking your pain, hiding your struggles, and keeping it all stuffed inside consider working with me. As a Licensed Psychotherapist, I provide high quality therapy for a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD/Trauma, grief, and low self-esteem.  Together, we will get to the core of your concerns. By working with me you'll gain coping skills, self-awareness, healthy levels of confidence, effective communication skills, and an overall better quality of life. 

I'm an athlete or performer.

It's essential to give mental training the same attention as physical training. By incorporating principles from sports psychology, you’ll master techniques such as positive self-talk, mindfulness, imagery, and concentration, while also strengthening your self-motivation. These skills enhance both your sports performance and everyday life. Mental Performance Coaching will assist you in overcoming mental obstacles and developing the mindset, skills, and routines needed to achieve your goals and maintain peak performance, even amidst challenges and setbacks.

I'm a sport parent or coach.

Is your athlete facing mental roadblocks, struggling with confidence or losing passion for their sport? Are they dealing with self-criticism, negative self-talk, performance anxiety, or a dip in motivation due to low mood or depression? Or are they doing well and you’re seeking to enhance their success and gain a competitive edge through mental performance coaching? Whatever the reason, Mental Coaching will equip your child with the tools, knowledge, and techniques required to succeed in sport and life!
