You know what it feels like when everything clicks.

You’ve lived there.

“It started as a tool. It worked. The world rewarded it. Somewhere it stopped being something you used and became something you are.”
— Amelia, MFT

In yourself :

∙ Your drive and motivation feel unreliable — and that scares you more than anything.

∙ You’re exhausted but slowing down feels dangerous.

∙ You’re irritable where you used to be focused.

∙ You feel lost in the spaces where you used to feel most alive.

∙ You can’t remember the last time you felt genuinely like yourself.

In your performance :

∙ You’re putting in the work but the results aren’t matching the effort.

∙ The focus that used to come automatically requires everything you have now.

∙ You’re showing up but you’re not quite there.

∙ Your body is doing the thing but your mind checked out somewhere along the way.

∙ Performance used to feel like home. Lately it’s just another place you’re pretending.

“You didn’t lose your edge. You just can’t feel it anymore. That’s different”
— Amelia, MFT

In your relationships:

∙ You’re in the room but not really there.

∙ The people closest to you are getting the version of you that’s running on empty.

∙ You’re either pushing people away or holding on too tight — and you’re not sure which is worse.

∙ The irritability that used to be focus has nowhere productive to go.

∙ You feel completely alone in a life that looks full from the outside.

“The people who love you most are getting what’s left over. And you know it.”
— Amelia, MFT

When the motor won’t turn off.

It started as discipline. Structure. A way to get results in a world that rewarded exactly that.

And it worked. So you kept going. The world kept rewarding it. Your identity built itself around it — brick by brick, result by result, until it stopped being something you did and became something you are.

That’s not a character flaw. That’s what happens when intensity meets a culture that only knows how to celebrate it.

The question isn’t what’s wrong with you. The question is what happens when the thing that built you starts running on its own.

Hi, I’m Amelia — Sports Therapist | Performance & Body Image

I’m a licensed therapist and I spent over a decade as a personal trainer and studio owner in Los Angeles. I’ve been inside this culture. I’ve stood next to people in the best shape of their lives who could only see what wasn’t there yet. I watched discipline become ritual, ritual become compulsion, and compulsion get mistaken for dedication — by everyone around them, and by themselves.

I’m not a sports therapist who will nod politely while you explain your world. I already know it. I know what the motor feels like when it won’t turn off. I work with athletes, high performers, and high intensity adults across Los Angeles and California navigating disordered eating, orthorexia, compulsive exercise, and body image — people for whom the line between discipline and disorder disappeared a long time ago.

I call what I do Relationship Fitness — building the mental and emotional strength that makes you stronger in your body, in your relationships, and in your life. Not just performing okay. Actually okay.

Not here to dismantle what you’ve built. Just to soften the edges.

What Working Together Looks Like

  • Getting Clear

    We start by slowing it down. Finding the pattern. Understanding what’s actually driving it. For athletes, high performers, and high intensity adults navigating disordered eating, orthorexia, compulsive exercise, body image, and performance anxiety — we build a treatment plan tailored specifically to you using somatic rewiring, mindfulness, CBT, and attachment-based therapy.

Why It’s Hard to Start

  • The behaviors feel normal because everyone around you does the same thing. In athletic and high intensity culture discipline is always celebrated. That’s exactly what makes this so hard to see — and exactly why it keeps going.

  • Your edge. Your results. Your identity. Your drive. We don’t dismantle here. We figure out what’s actually working and what’s quietly working against you. The motor stays on. We just get you back in the driver’s seat.

  • Everything we do is completely confidential. Online sessions mean nobody sees you walking into a therapist’s office. And the fact that you’re still reading this means something in you already knows.

  • Most therapists don’t understand this world from the inside. That’s not an excuse — it’s a real clinical barrier. This practice is built specifically for athletes and high intensity adults. I already speak your language.

  • You’ve built something real. We go at your pace. The goal isn’t to tear it down — it’s to understand what’s underneath it so you can actually feel what you’ve built.

If she happens to have space in her practice, you would be in excellent hands working with her.
