Tanya is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Mental Performance Consultant offering private practice services. Originally from Montreal, Tanya has called the Sea to Sky her home for over 32 years. Working in mental health and mental performance is an opportunity to help athletes improve mental, emotional, and physical capacity while encouraging a positive relationship with self, others and the larger community. Believing people are experts in their own lives, Tanya works collaboratively in identifying strengths and using them as a platform for continued success. Tanya’s holistic approach comes from having worked in schools and in private practice. In both mental health and mental performance roles she is able to support athletes in their sport focus and performance as well as other influences in their lives such as family, school, work, relationships, society, and culture, to name a few. Holding a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (City University), a Bachelor of Education (McGill) and a Bachelor of Arts, psychology (Dalhousie), she later chose to incorporate mental performance consulting into her work from observing the power of sport and the challenges of balancing life and athletics.
