When Physical Training Hits a Wall:
The Yips and Lost Movement Syndrome:
You’ve done it a thousand times in practice, but on game day, your body freezes. We use EMDR to target the 'error signal' in your brain and restore your natural mechanics.
Overcoming Injury Trauma & Contact Hesitation:
The doctor cleared you physically, but you’re still hesitating on the field. We clear the mental trauma of the 'pop' or the 'break' so you can play with 100% confidence.
Neutralizing High-Stakes Performance Anxiety:
Master the 'noise' of the crowd and the weight of expectations. Learn to regulate your system so you can stay in the flow state during the 9th inning or the final whistle.
The Neurological Reset: Why EMDR for Performance?
Mindset work and visualization are 'hardware' adjustments. But when you’re dealing with the yips or injury trauma, the issue is 'software,’ a glitch in the nervous system’s processing.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) isn't about 'talking through' your game. It’s a targeted protocol that clears the neurological debris of past failures or injuries. We aren't just talking about the block; we’re removing the physiological trigger so your body can return to its natural, instinctual flow.
Tactical Applications:
De-sensitizing the 'freeze' response during clutch moments.
Processing the sensory memory of physical injury to eliminate hesitation.
Neutralizing the internal 'noise' of high-stakes contracts and public scrutiny.
Alexandra Brown: Specialized Performance Therapist
For over a decade, I have operated at the intersection of clinical psychology and elite performance. I don't just provide therapy; I provide neurological calibration for individuals whose careers depend on their ability to remain regulated under extreme pressure.
As a California-licensed clinician, I specialize in virtual EMDR protocols designed specifically for the athletic nervous system. My approach is direct, tactical, and results-oriented that is built for the athlete who needs to get out of their head and back into the game.

Ready to Reset Your Mental Game?
Performance blocks don't go away by working harder, they go away by working smarter. Whether you’re in the off-season or the heat of the playoffs, let’s calibrate your nervous system for the next level.
Strategic Session Structure: Built for the Professional Schedule
Your career demands flexibility and precision. Following our initial consultation, we will determine the optimal rhythm for your goals based on your competitive timeline and nervous system needs.
While I typically work in 60, 90, or 120-minute high-impact blocks, your plan is built entirely around your professional schedule. Whether you are navigating the intensity of training camp, preparing for the playoffs, or managing the pressure of a high-stakes contract year, we calibrate our work to ensure you are peaking at the right time.
