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.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is increasingly being used in the field of sport psychology to help athletes improve their mental performance. While EMDR is primarily known for its effectiveness in treating trauma-related issues, it can also be adapted to address various challenges athletes face, such as performance anxiety, self-doubt, and past failures.
In sports psychology, EMDR can assist athletes in reprocessing and reducing the emotional impact of negative experiences or limiting beliefs that may hinder their performance. By doing so, it can help athletes develop greater mental resilience, enhance their focus, and overcome mental barriers that may be holding them back in their athletic endeavors. While EMDR is not a universal solution for all sports-related challenges, it can be a valuable tool when tailored to address an athlete's specific psychological needs. Working with a sports psychologist trained in EMDR can be beneficial for those seeking to optimize their mental game in sports.
