Victoria Jacobs
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
As a former NCAA Division I soccer player, I understand the pressure that comes with high level sport. I support athletes with the mental and emotional side of competition and training. We make room for pressure, the inner critic, injury and return to play, team dynamics, and who you are beyond results. My goal is to strengthen self worth that does not rise and fall with performance. We talk about healthy striving versus perfectionism and how to shift from harsh self talk to balanced, motivating language. I adapt evidence based psychotherapy approaches for sport contexts so the work fits your reality. I use my training in clinical hypnosis to design personalized visualization scripts for the athletes I work with. These are guided imagery exercises in your own words that support confidence, focus, and recovery. We can practice them in session and you can use them before practice or on game days. Many athletes find this helps with readiness, confidence, and post-mistake resets.

Junie Baek
Registered Psychotherapist, MTA, RP (Qualifying)
Performance anxiety results from many reasons but sometimes from a fear of judgment or failure, leading to heightened stress in situations where one is evaluated or expected to perform. Performance anxiety can be a heavy burden for musicians, students, athletes, or anyone, holding them back from reaching their full potential. As a long-time musician who performed since a young age, I deeply understand what it is like to be a musician and to be under constant pressure. I provide a compassionate space to explore these fears, helping you understand and manage the pressure. Together, we'll build strategies to regain confidence and channel your energy positively, so you can perform with clarity and thrive in your passion. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.
