Trauma Informed Therapy for Athletes

Support for student and adult athletes navigating performance pressure, injury, burnout, and life transitions.

I provide trauma-informed therapy for student-athletes and adult athletes in Palo Alto and online throughout California. My work supports athletes navigating the emotional and psychological demands of training, competition, injury, performance pressure, team dynamics, and life beyond sport.

You may be experiencing performance anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, loss of confidence, a challenging transition, or a sense that your worth has become tied to your results. Past experiences, identity, relationships, and nervous-system responses can all influence how you manage pressure, respond to mistakes, connect with teammates and coaches, and experience yourself as an athlete.

My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed. Together, we can strengthen self-awareness, develop healthy coping and emotional-regulation strategies, and build resilience without losing sight of the whole person behind the performance. Therapy offers a confidential and supportive space where you do not have to perform or prove yourself—a place to process your experiences and develop a more grounded relationship with sport and self.

If you are interested in trauma-informed therapy for athletes, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether we may be a good fit.
