Hi my name is Kolin, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC), Certified Mental Performance Consultant (AASP), and Professional Member of the Canadian Sport Psychology Association (CSPA), with extensive experience in health, wellness, and performance across both the sports and business worlds. My academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Human Kinetics and a Master of Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia, an MBA from Athabasca University, and a Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Western States.
​
As a former multi-sport athlete who pursued a competitive hockey career, I bring a deep, personal understanding of the demands athletes face. My professional journey has included working with Hockey Canada, coaching Junior Hockey, supporting Olympic athletes, and working with a National Hockey League Player Agency. These roles helped me recognize a vital but often overlooked component of athlete development: mental performance and wellbeing.
I specialize in Integrated Performance Therapy, a unique approach that blends psychotherapy, mental performance consulting, and performance coaching.
This integrated model is designed to address mental health, enhance performance, and foster emotional resilience, all while helping individuals achieve their personal and professional goals. Whether it’s navigating stress, recovering from injury, or building mental skills for success, this holistic approach ensures my clients are supported in every aspect of their journey.
​
I focus on empowering clients to build resilience, sharpen focus, and enhance overall mental health and performance. I work with athletes, parents, and professionals to develop tailored strategies that foster mental and emotional strength, creating opportunities for growth.
