Athletic Performance and Recovery

Athletes so often struggle with navigating the challenges of balancing sports performance and life. Some of these struggles can include injury, which can lead to further struggles with identity as an athlete, confidence, fear of failure or further injury, anxiety, and more. My practice works with acute and chronic physical injuries, focusing on inflammation, the nervous system, and emotionally stuck traumatic material that prevents the body from fully healing. Every athlete hopes to get back to 100% functioning after an injury. The neuroexperiential techniques used allow removal of barriers to access that healing, which leads to the ability to focus on increasing athletic performance.

In the realm of healing, finding the right therapeutic fit is paramount. My practice blends advanced EMDR and Brainspotting protocols, parts work, mindfulness, and movement, offering a comprehensive approach to addressing complex or recent trauma, including both acute and lasting effects of physical injury and mental blocks when returning to movement after injury.

As an athlete, I understand firsthand the ups and downs of the role that the mind and body play in performance, as well as navigating the balance of life and sport. My personal journey as an athlete, with both a trauma history and significant injury recovery, fuels my hope and passion for enhancing the quality of life for clients. My ultimate aspiration for each client is to foster authentic, lasting connections and facilitate long-term healing.
