A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to be collaborative, motivational, and meticulous in assessing issues that interfere with sport performance both on and off the field.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to take away from sports therapy sessions:

Clients can expect a warm, welcoming, supportive, and safe environment to share their experiences, fears, and struggles and receive validation and support. Additionally, clients can expect a thorough assessment and a tailored program that aligns with the goals and objectives to improve performance.

Further, clients and their families can expect truth, honesty, and a person-centered approach.
