Therapy for Athletes

You push yourself every day to be faster, stronger, better—but no matter how hard you try, it never feels like enough. The pressure to perform can feel all-consuming, and when you're not meeting your own standards, it can hit you harder than any loss on the field. It’s not just about physical training anymore—it’s about the mental battle, the fear of failure, the constant worry of not measuring up.

And when those same feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, or burnout creep into your personal life, it’s like you're constantly running on empty. You’re drained, but you keep going because that’s what athletes do, right? You push through. But deep down, you're longing for a way to get past the noise—the pressure to be perfect, to never show weakness, to always keep moving forward.

I get it. Being an athlete is about more than performance; it’s about the person you are underneath the uniform. And I’m here to help you navigate the mental and emotional side of being an athlete, while also supporting you as a whole person. From performance anxiety to recovering from injury, to overcoming that constant inner critic that never lets you rest—together, we’ll tackle it all.

You deserve to show up as your true self, not just as an athlete. Let’s focus on what matters most: your well-being, inside and outside the game. Because when you thrive as a person, the athlete will follow.

Common Struggles Athletes Face

Performance Anxiety: The constant pressure to perform at your peak, fearing that failure will define you, often leads to anxiety that can impact your ability to focus, relax, or give your best effort.

Injury Recovery: Physical recovery is hard enough, but emotional healing from injury can feel even more overwhelming. It’s not just about getting back on your feet—it’s about rebuilding confidence and managing the emotional toll of being sidelined.

Burnout: Pushing yourself to the limit day after day can eventually leave you feeling drained and uninspired, leading to burnout. It’s tough to find the balance between pushing yourself and knowing when to rest.

Perfectionism & Self-Doubt: Striving to be perfect in your sport can easily spiral into a cycle of self-criticism and doubt. That inner voice telling you it’s never enough can wear you down mentally and emotionally.
