Let’s sit together and figure things out.
This is a relationship like no other.
Individual Therapy
Sometimes people wait until a crisis occurs or they can't sleep until they "talk to someone." If it just gets painful enough, it's time. Please don't wait. If you are suffering, if you are confused and can't seem to get clarity, if you are more often than not thinking about something that you can't figure out or resolve despite talking to others (or can't talk about), it's time to connect with a neutral party. I am trained to listen. I will support your feelings and help you with strategies to make changes you desire, reset, or maybe embrace not making any changes. If it's relationship conflicts, body or eating issues, general malaise, grief, parenting, or struggles in managing energy and focus, we can identify what works and doesn't, but also importantly have some time to just feel the feels out loud without judgment. Emotions are not wrong, they are messengers. I will listen, "connect some dots," and then we'll figure out what steps to take to create the life you want.
Sport/Performance Therapy
Improved performance comes with practicing physical and mental techniques. Learn to manage stress, energy, and self talk. Address setbacks or injury, re-entry into sport post-injury, eating disorders, and burnout. Relationships with coaches and/or parents and teammates may be addressed as they impact performance.
Identify what is important, set specific goals accordingly, create self talk phrases that tie in, utilize visualization and writing to reinforce the desired direction in practice and competition. Develop a protocol that works to prepare and execute when the pressure is on.
