Sports Psychology Therapist

​

I help athletes stress less and improve their sports performance.

​

Do you ever:​

  • Question your ability to be successful as an athlete?

  • Have negative thoughts that affect how you play?

  • Struggle with panic attacks that are effecting your performance?

  • Feel tense and tight in your body and can't relax when you play?

  • Feel depressed and miss when playing sports used to be fun?​

​

I've been there.  I played football for ___ years so I totally get the specific stressors that athletes go through.  It's a different world and a different way of thinking.  Everyone always talks about the mind body connection, and the same applies in the world of sports. Working on your mental health WILL help your physical performance.

I help athletes:

  • Identify how stress, anxiety and depression are impacting your physical athletic performance

  • Learn tools specifically for athletes to stress levels that impact performance

  • Learn how to relieve tension and tightness that impacts physical performance

  • Improve their focus and concentration and manage distractions

  • Get rid of panic attacks â€‹

​

Some of the approaches I take that are proven effective in sports psychology are:
