Sport Performance Therapy for Adults in Western MD and Baltimore areas
Competing at a high level isn’t just about training harder—it takes a toll on your mind and emotions too.
As a former competitive athlete, I know what it’s like. The pressure to perform, the fear of letting people down, and that constant inner voice telling you to push harder, be better. It adds up fast. Then you pile on the long hours, the aches and injuries you try to ignore, the losses that hit harder than anyone knows, and that lingering feeling that you can never truly “switch off.”
Even when things look good from the outside—wins, stats, praise—it can still feel exhausting. Lonely. Like no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough. It can start to feel like this is just the price of competing at a high level.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout don’t have to define your athletic journey
Maybe you know the nerves that hit before every competition—the kind that make it hard to breathe or think clearly.
Or the voice in your head that says you’re not good enough, no matter how much you’ve accomplished.
Maybe you push yourself through pain or exhaustion, worried that taking a break will set you back.
Or maybe you’ve started to wonder if the sport you once loved is still bringing you joy, because the pressure overshadows everything else.
It’s a lot carry on your own.
And yet, so many athletes keep it inside, thinking they should be tougher, stronger, or able to push through.
But the truth is: no one performs their best when they’re drained, anxious, or burned out.
The good news? You don’t have to carry all of that alone.
With the right support, you can learn to handle pressure in healthier ways, build confidence that lasts, and reconnect with the love of your sport.
Imagine what it could feel like to compete with a calmer mind—to step in with focus and trust in your training, to recover fully without guilt, and to rediscover joy in your sport, knowing your worth isn’t defined only by wins or losses.
That’s what mental performance support is about: building the tools to manage pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and stay grounded—not just as an athlete, but as a whole person.
Here’s how I can help…
