Sport Psychology & Counseling Services

As a professional member of the Canadian Sport Psychology Association, I offer individual and team consultations to teach performance enhancement skills and techniques. Areas of focus many include the following:

  • Strategies to reach performance potential in sport and/or other aspects of life
  • Regulating arousal, stress and/or emotions
  • Improve confidence, motivation, and concentration
  • Mentally plan for training and competitions
  • Improve communication skills
  • Learn specific performance enhancement techniques (e.g. goal setting, imagery, mindfulness, meditation)
  • Improve recovery and regeneration
  • Debrief and evaluate performance or programs
  • Improve decision making processes
  • Rehabilitate from an injury
  • Make a positive transition from sport

With over 10 years of experience working as a mental performance consultant I have worked with many individual and team sports (recreational, youth to elite/National and Olympic team athletes) including: cross-country skiing, biathlon, triathlon, track and field, swimming, Paralympic Goalball, BMX, mountain bike and road cycling, dancing, gymnastics, golf, soccer, alpine skiing, figure skating, hockey, beach volleyball, short and long track speed skating, and rowing

I work with the sports of rowing, triathlon, and mountain biking through the Canadian Sport Institute – Pacific

As a consultant I draw on nearly 30 years of competitive experience including soccer, volleyball, basketball, elite running and mountain biking, and currently as a professional off-road triathlete

I am also a Registered Clinical Counsellor in the province of British Columbia. As a counsellor, I enjoy helping people with: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, communication, and building skills to create a more meaningful life. I’m work primarily from a strength based approach to help clients cultivate self-awareness and to work through challenges from a place of curiosity in a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space.
