FAQs
What is the Confidence Equation?
Athletes often hope to feel confident during important events, whether that be an age-group time trial, youth team tryout, or the Olympic Games. However, the truth is that confidence is not a feeling. It is a thought process. Athlete Insight takes the guess work out of hoping to feel confident by focusing on past success, preparation, controllables, and, most importantly, joy, to help athletes train their brains to think confidently.
What is the Mental Skills Curriculum?
Our Mental Skills Curriculum helps athletes to develop a “toolbox” of strategies that they can take into training and competition. We teach skills such as mindfulness, goalsetting, and self-talk reframing in concrete, tangible lessons. Just like learning math, we focus on one skill at a time and build upon the progression of skill acquisition. Each session follows with homework to help athletes master their new skills and troubleshoot challenges as they arise.
How many sessions will I need?
Not surprisingly, this varies by individual. However, our Mental Skills Curriculum covers the “basics” in six sessions. We find that younger athletes tend to benefit from fewer sessions whereas more experienced and competitive athletes may need to cover the full curriculum to optimize their headspace. The Mental Skills Curriculum covers 18 lessons in total and some sessions cover multiple lessons. No two athletes are alike - once we understand you and your needs, we can provide a estimate on how many sessions you will likely need.

Grappling with life’s challenges can be incredibly difficult – especially in high-performing environments where the pressure to achieve is constant and identity is often tied to results. As a former college basketball player with the experience of competing in the NCAA DIII Final Four, I understand the unique demands and sacrifices that can come with competing at a high level and recognize that addressing our struggles takes courage and vulnerability.
I aim to honor this by creating a compassionate and trustworthy space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through a direct, honest, and empathetic approach, I help clients confront personal obstacles, navigate performance demands and unlock their full potential. My experience as an athlete strongly informs my work and allows me to connect authentically with those navigating similar challenges.
My goal is to work collaboratively with clients to foster more meaningful, purpose-driven lives – both in and beyond performance.

Sometimes clients feel an overwhelming sense of pressure from the world around them or in their sport. They are trying to make sense of their identity while fitting into a world of high expectations. This may lead to concerns such as anxiety and depression, impacting performance and overall wellbeing. As a former DI and DII student athlete, I get it.
I strive to actively listen to every client to understand their unique needs and strengths. I often help clients identify concerns or roadblocks in their mental well-being and then work through these with them. I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy to enhance present moment focus and overall psychological well-being. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to understand unconscious processes that may be manifested in the client's present behavior.
I work to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, in which clients can develop a holistic understanding of their world and individual needs. It is my goal that clients will not only enhance their ability to effectively cope with the full variety of life’s worries but also improve their confidence in their ability to reach success both in life and sport.

Athletes are “supposed” to be mentally tough; however, the truth is that athletes are humans first. As a person, you experience all of the same stress as your non-athlete peers in addition to ALL of the stressors that sport & competition brings along. You might struggle to acknowledge that your mind may not be “tough enough” to handle all of that stress. I am here to say, it is okay. You can ask for help. In fact, you become stronger and tougher when you know how to effectively manage your headspace.
I meet all athletes exactly where they are at, as humans first. Together, we identify goals to meet your life and sport needs. When you work with me, you get a therapist and a coach. My goal is to provide the “right-for-you” tools, strategies, and insights to support you in becoming the most confident and resilient version of yourself in both sport & life.
