Does seeing a sports counselor help non-sport issues?

Yes! The work I do with athletes is transferable to anything in their lives. When we discuss something like managing stress or anxiety in competition the same mental skills and techniques can be applied outside of competition.

How often should I expect to come in for sessions?

Most athletes start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency. As progress builds, we shift toward more independence, spacing sessions out or moving into check-ins as needed.

The goal isn’t to keep you in sessions forever. It’s to help you build skills, apply them, and trust yourself to use them without needing constant support.

Does insurance cover my sports counseling sessions?

I do not accept insurance, but I can provide a superbill upon request. Some clients are able to receive partial reimbursement depending on their plan, but this varies widely and full reimbursement is uncommon.

If you’re considering using out-of-network benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your coverage.

What kind of results should I expect?

Results don’t look like “no nerves” or “perfect performance.”

They look like:

• responding differently after mistakes

• staying more present under pressure

• reducing hesitation and overthinking

• building consistency, not perfection

This work is less about eliminating pressure, and more about changing how you meet it. Some athletes notice shifts quickly. Others take more time. Either way, the focus is on building something that actually holds up when it matters.

How quickly will I see progress?

Some athletes feel a shift within a few sessions, especially when they start applying tools right away. But real, lasting change comes from repetition and application.

Just like physical training, this is a process. We’re not chasing quick fixes; we’re building something that shows up when pressure is highest.

What does a typical session look like?

Your first session is an intake, where we get a clear picture of what’s going on, your sport, your history, and what feels hardest right now.

After that, sessions are collaborative and practical. We:

• identify your patterns under pressure

• understand what’s getting in the way

• build tools that fit you

• create ways to apply them in real environments

You’re not just talking, you’re learning how to respond differently when it counts

What makes my approach different?

Most approaches focus on just one piece, thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. My work focuses on how all of it connects.

Because under pressure, performance doesn’t break down from one thing, it breaks down when your mind, body, and actions aren’t aligned.

We focus on building that alignment so you can perform, not just when things feel good, but when they don’t.
