Managing Self-Criticism + Burnout
The voice that says you're not enough — the one that gets louder the harder you push — doesn't have to run the show. Here we'll work on untangling pressure from self-worth, building the kind of resilience that doesn't require destroying yourself first.
Navigating Injuries + Setbacks
Being cleared to return isn't the same as feeling ready. We'll work through the mental side of injury — the identity loss, the fear of going back, the grief of a hard season — so you return to your sport with genuine confidence, not just grit.
Anxiety, Trauma + Grief
Anxiety, trauma, and grief don't stay off the trail. This is a space to make sense of what you're carrying — to process it, not just push through it — and find your way back to feeling like yourself.
Mental Performance
Your body can do more than your mind is letting it. Mental performance helps you compete with doubt instead of against it — staying composed when it counts, finding flow in the pain cave, arriving at the start line ready rather than just hoping.
When your sport asks everything of you — your mind has to be part of the training.
You can't get to the summit if the load you're carrying weighs you down. When your nervous system is overwhelmed — when you don't feel safe, connected, or steady — it's almost impossible to focus on what matters. The mental and physical aren't separate. They never were.
The people that have worked with me know that what we do is foundational to performance – you can’t lift the heavy packs or do speed work without having a solid base – and that comes from fortifying mental health – and unloading that extra weight.
They perform better. They're more connected. They're managing the strain of training and competing without it spilling into everything else. They feel better about themselves — and about being an athlete.
Therapy that helps you get back to the doing.
The anxiety has been building — quiet at first, but now your heart is pounding before you even lace up. You're burnt out, dreading training, not sure who you are outside of your sport. The nagging injury feels permanent. The accident is still replaying. The hard moment with your coach is still sitting in your chest.
No matter what brought you here — therapy is about learning flexible ways of approaching your thoughts, feelings, and sensations so you have agency again. Responding in ways that are aligned with who you actually are. Getting back to the things you're passionate about. Being the kind of athlete — and person — you want to be.
Let’s get started.
You don't need another self-help book or a podcast telling you to visualize success. You need someone in your corner who isn't going to judge you — where you can be yourself and get back to what you love.
