About Zoe
As a former professional athlete, softball coach of 12+ years, challenge-seeker, and clinical counsellor, I strive to integrate my knowledge and passions to support people working through difficult life phases and changes, challenges with sport and high-level performance, and emotionally challenging situations and conflicts. I aim to help people on their journey of becoming a more empowered, confident, and compassionate self.
​
I specialize in supporting people in high-pressure environments, navigating the highs and lows of competitive sport, and confronting the fears and insecurities that keep us unfulfilled or stagnant. I believe in the power of resiliency and mental strength to perform under stress, remain composed through life's surprises, and the ability to tackle challenges thrown your way with grace and compassion. As strong and adequate as we all may be, pursuits and challenges don't have to be conquered alone. Through life's experiences and my education in mental health and performance, I'm a firm believer that our capabilities are enhanced when you have the right support in your own corner.
I strive to create a warm, curious, empathic, and empowering environment for individuals seeking counselling or mental performance coaching with me to help explore your inner or outer worlds using person-centered, emotion-focused, dialectical behaviour, positive psychology, and psychodynamic therapeutic modalities.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, burnout. challenges in sport, grief and loss, life transitions, low self-esteem, or resonate with what you have read here, I invite you to reach out to me to see if I might be part of your journey in healing, growth, or performance.
