Therapy Services
Are you an athletic person who is a perfectionist? This can lead to performance anxiety, fear of failure, inconsistent performance, and negative self talk. I can help you! I specialize in working with tweens, teens, and adult athletes. I use CBT and sports hypnosis to assist my clients with their goals.
The constellation in my brand represents the process of bringing seemingly separate pieces of performance together--skill, mindset, confidence, muscle memory, talent, and consistency--to create something far greater than the individual parts. Confidence is not something athletes have or don't have. It is not simply hoped for or found. It is a skill that needs to be understood, strengthened, and intentionally developed.
Each athlete has their own constellation: a unique combination of talents, strengths, experiences, goals, and potential. My work is all about helping athletes and high performers connect the dots to build a confidence blueprint that enhances performance. A blueprint that can be reused over and over for ongoing success.
The constellation concept comes full circle when athletes experience sports hypnosis sessions with me. Every hypnosis script starts with a relaxation process that begins with a comforting, familiar visual of a night sky full of stars.
I am a former Junior Olympic and collegiate athlete myself and I am passionate about helping young athletes gain mental skills needed to reach higher levels of competition and college scholarships. I see my role in this as teaching the skills necessary for visualization, training plans, correcting thoughts, and eliminating negative self talk. I am a Certified Sports Hypnotist and Certified Sports Psychology Consultant.
As a therapist with nearly 18 years of experience treating anxiety, trauma, and depression, I am familiar with methods that work and provide faster results. I use EMDR to target any past traumas that may be related to sports performance. Traumas for athletes can include injuries, witnessing injuries, being bullied by coaches or team mates, or being embarrassed publicly.
Anxiety, confidence slumps, or choking can lead to drop out from sports prematurely. My services help clients to re-gain confident flow state often leading to "PRs", best performances, and restoring the joy for the game. This is Confidence By Design.
