As an athlete, you are held to a different standard and the invisible pressures of your role and responsibilities can be debilitating. You love your sport, but lately the demands of it paired with the stress of academics, work, your social life and taking care of your health have been exhausting and you’re wondering if continuing to compete is even worth all the stress. You feel pressure from your coaches, peers and yourself, and your sport is starting to lose its joy. You dread going to practice and feel anxious almost every time you compete, and you fear that you’re one small stressor away from just leaving your sport behind, but you know that you don’t actually want to quit. Worst of all, you feel like you can’t talk about it because athletes “aren’t supposed to show their struggles.” I’ve been there, and I’m here to help.

You’re overwhelmed with the demands you feel from yourself and the world around you, and you feel pressure to be everything to everyone all the damn time. You’re tired of carrying it all - keeping track of everyone’s schedule and losing sight of your own needs; making sure the dog is fed, the house is clean, the kids are happy; trying to find a work/life balance in a culture that glamorizes hustle and stress. You dread the days ahead and everything feels like a task or checkbox that you need to complete. You feel like you need to be the one to do everything because if you don’t then it won’t get done at all. You’re running on few hours of sleep, squeeze in “me time” and self-care only on occasion, and you can’t remember the last time you sat down to have a real meal. You forget what joy feels like.

Reach out today so I can help you feel like yourself again.

You do all the things, are successful enough, and you’ve done what society told you to do in exchange for happiness and satisfaction. But internally, there’s more. You feel deeply and notice what others miss — the emotions, the energy, the silent conflicts that build inside your body. Your sensitivity is a gift, but it feels hard to see it that way in a loud and fast world that views empathy and vulnerability as weakness.
You find yourself easily overwhelmed, deeply affected by others’ moods, or struggling to set boundaries in a world that seems to value profit over people and outcome over process. You try to keep up with trendy self-care while striving for success but still somehow feel empty. Some friendships feel superficial at best because you fear the alternative will leave you lost and alone. You feel stuck on a roller coaster you never asked to ride that only keeps going and never stops to give you the chance to get off.
