Pain is hard to ignore, even for athletes.
It’s another day; you wake up with pain, and your body is sore. But practice and training come first.
There is no time to think about yourself as you lift weights and run – with no time to sit and relax.
You are concerned about your well-being. Every day comes with anxiety and no promise or guarantees of safety.
“Oh, God! Do people understand what I go through at all? I need to see a massage therapist, a chiropractor, or an infusion therapist.”
All this is running through your mind. But it’s stressful to think about finding the right help – thinking about seeking help is intimidating.
Famous on the outside – but troubled on the inside.
All people see is the glamour of a professional athlete.
The tailgating, craziness of some drunken fans, requests for autographs come with the territory. These accolades are great, but you go into your secret place of anxiety, depression, and physical and emotional pain after receiving the praise.
Your relationship is suffering because you think even your close friends and families are not helpful. There is no time to build meaningful and positive relationships.
Today, you are happy; tomorrow, you are sad and upset.
Pressures come from many directions.
The fear of getting injured, the stress of staying fit, the high from performing well, and the low of poor performance keep you in emotional turmoil.
The emotional pain of not being acknowledged and disappointing the fans plague your soul every day.
Everyone wants something from you, whether it’s money or something else. And now COVID-19 is here, and the consequences have altered everything, including your professional life.
What about the pressure of satisfying family and friends? What about the thought of the future?
Everyone tells you that your career is temporary, which is a lot of weight and responsibility to carry.
Help is available – Let’s work to change your MINDSET.
Yes, you are experiencing a lot of mental and emotional stress. Perhaps it’s time to do something about it.
You work hard in training and when you compete. Imagine doing nothing to ensure that you are as mentally fit as you are physically. The consequences would be a disaster.
The missing link here is therapy for your mind and soul – they both need attention as well as your body.
The right therapist with experience and insight is what you need. Learn more about me.
My son has been a professional football athlete for seven years, so I have first-hand insight and knowledge to help young athletes grow in their careers. I am very much interested in supporting athletes’ mental well-being.
Let’s collaborate to find tools that work for you.
I help professional athletes who are experiencing stress, anxiety, and physical and emotional pain related to years of competition.
Using solution-focused therapy, collaborative partnership, supportive counseling, and mindfulness techniques, I help my clients get to the source of the distress while learning tools to take back control of their lives.
My clients learn to recognize unhealthy thought patterns and replace them with positive, healthy, and focused thoughts.
I offer a safe environment for athletes to vent, cry, and express themselves; I provide empathy, nonjudgmental validation, and reinforcement of positive attitudes and behaviors. I coach and help explore improved coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and worry.
My clients leave transformed, full of confidence, and enthusiastic about life – equipped with the coping skills to resolve future issues as they arise.
Find emotional release from the pain.
Based on my experience helping athletes, I understand the exhaustion and pain of staying focused mentally to perform at the optimum capacity. Support is available to enhance your overall well-being.
My approach is different from a professional agent or financial advisor. Your mental welfare is my number one concern.
