Mental Performance & Therapy for Athletes in Ontario
I offer virtual therapy for athletes and high-achievers in Ontario,
navigating performance pressure, anxiety, and inconsistency.
In high-performance environments - whether it’s the field, the stage or the boardroom, your value can start to feel tied to results. When you win, you’re on top of the world; when you lose, the silence is heavy and deafening. Over time, this pressure can make it harder to trust yourself in the moments that matter most.
I work with athletes and high-achievers to untangle their worth from their performance. Together, we build a foundation that allows you to strive for excellence without sacrificing your mental well-being.
The Person Behind the Performance
Internal Pressure
Understanding the ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking that makes a single mistake feels like a complete failure.
Exploring who you are when the game is over, the grades are in, or when you leave the job. Your self-esteem shouldn’t be a moving target.
Overthinking Under Pressure
Processing the complex emotions that arise when your path is interrupted by physical setbacks or a change in season.
Injury & Transition
