Athletes

Being an athlete isn’t only about physical performance—it’s a part of who you are, whether you’re actively competing, recovering from injury, transitioning away from sport, or figuring out who you are now that it’s no longer front and center. My work supports athletes at any stage of their journey.
For those still competing, we might explore performance anxiety, the inner critic, or how self-worth has become tied to performance. Our work together will get curious about the parts of you that show up before, during, and after performance that may be impeding you. We may explore ways to improve performance and tend to the roots from which performance-affecting symptoms stem. We may come to understand how factors outside of competition are impacting performance, or how performance impacts aspects outside of competition.
For those navigating injury and recovery or transitioning to life after competing, the work often looks different—making space for grief, identity, and the process of rebuilding a sense of self beyond the sport.

Our work will go beyond athletics, exploring how to navigate relationships, self-worth, and identity beyond the one tied to being an athlete.
