Frequently Asked Questions about Therapy for Athletes
-
No— my approach is infused and informed by performance psychology, but this is psychotherapy and focused on mental, emotional, and relational health. I am a licensed clinician who specializes in this work for the athlete population because when I was competing, and after retirement, I could see how impactful it would have been to work with someone who had also lived it.
There is a spectrum for athlete mental health work: on one end is pure Mental Skills aka tools, plans, and hacks for how to prepare your mind for performance, and on the other is Clinical Mental Health/Psychotherapy for Athletes which is a broader more foundational approach how your whole life informs who you are as an athlete and a person. This is often where many performance issues start, and if you want the problem actually fixed you have to go where it actually is.

I see athletes of all genders in all sports.

I focus my work on Athletes 15 and older. If your child is younger than this I am happy to provide referrals. Here is a list of the types of competitive athletes I specialize in:

Outdoor/Adventure Athletes
Retired Athletes of all ages

If you are interested in only doing work that is non-clinical mental skills, please refer to the Performance coaching on this page. During the consultation we can discuss your situation and goals and determine what is the best path for us to work together. I strongly recommend an openness to deeper work as we can still integrate skills work into it.

I am glad you asked because I love talking sports AND playing sports. Growing up in Morro Bay, CA was spent playing organized basketball, wrestling, and 4 years of pop-warner football; when I wasn’t at practice I loved being outside building bike jumps and catching waves down at the beach. I started distance running in high school in Portland, Oregon, competing in both Cross Country and Track. I ran 4 seasons each of XC and Track for Pomona College; Highlights include 2x SCIAC 5000 Meter Champion and being named 1999 NCAA All American in Cross Country. Since graduation I have run 5 marathons (including Boston 2018) and am passionate about road and gravel cycling, skiing, snorkeling, and anything to do with the mountains. I am a huge Dodgers fan and love watching EPL, European Cycling and anything having to do with winning a championship.
