As a Certified Mental performance Consultant. I work with athletes and performers to optimize their performance and fulfillment through mental skills training. I do this in 1:1 sessions (in-person & online), group workshops and organizational consultations. 

MST is a specialized service that helps individuals, teams, and organizations optimize their mental skills and mindset to enhance performance. I utilize psychological modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Training, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour techniques and neuroscience to help athletes get their most of their sporting experience. Some examples of mental skills are confidence, motivation, emotional regulation and attentional control (focus). There are many techniques to develop these skills. I select relevant techniques based on the athletes situation, goals and strengths. Think of it like taking your mind to the gym with a personal trainer.

Everyone can benefit from mental skills training! There doesn't need to be something "wrong" with you (just like you dont just go to the gym if you have pain in your body). MST is used by athletes across all levels (grassroots to professional) in all different sport settings. In fact most pro teams have MPC’s / Sport Psychologists on staff now. MST is also used by performers, first responders and surgeons.

After a year abroad working with a professional womens' teams in Australia, I am now back in Canada. I am primarily based in the Sea to Sky region British Columbia where I work with athletes, coaches and organizations both in-person and online. I also work virtually with athletes in 7+ counties.

I specialize in helping performers come back from injury and concussion, developing confidence and managing anxiety. However, mental skills are all intertwined and also work to develop focus, motivation, stress management, emotional regulation, resilience, mindset, identity, leadership, and developing psychological safety/ team culture. 

No! Therapy is provided by a counsellor or psychologist and primarily focuses on treating a range of mental and emotional health issues. I specialize in enhancing mental skills so individuals can optimize their performance and achieve their version of sporting success. 

I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, meaning I have completed my Masters in Psychology, supervised hours and passed a certification exam. In Canada, a psychologist has completed their PhD and additional supervision which I have not yet decided to pursue. 

Mental Performance Consulting is not (yet) covered by private health insurance providers.
