Sport Psychology in Therapy for Performance Anxiety & Chronic Stress in High-Pressure Enviornments
I get it - athletes and performers are just wired differently. The early morning practices, the late-night rehearsals, the exhausting training sessions…the competitive mindset is just different. And you might need someone who has been there like you have to really understand you.
I understand performance anxiety because I've lived it. As a former NCAA Division III athlete and competitive figure skater, I know what it feels like to live in high-pressure environments—and how that mindset follows you into your career, relationships, and life. It doesn’t stop just because you hang up your skates or cleats.
Whether your performance pressure comes from sports, business, creative work, or the internal standards you've set for yourself, performance anxiety is treatable. I work with high-functioning adults who experience anxiety tied to achievement and help them move from constant pressure to sustainable success.
Sport & Performance Psychology in therapy with me may include:
Managing performance anxiety in high-pressure careers
Nervous system regulation for chronic stress
Creating balance and finding fulfillment
Building self-worth beyond achievement
Overcoming perfectionism rooted in competitive backgrounds
Transitioning from athlete/performer identity to new roles
Developing intrinsic motivation instead of focusing on external validation
