About Inside Edge
I work with 15–25 year old athletes whose performance anxiety, inconsistency, or shutdown isn't about effort or focus — it's about identity being tied to results.
My work helps athletes separate who they are from how they perform, so mistakes stop feeling threatening and confidence becomes stable under pressure.
This isn't quick-fix mental skills work. It's not "just be confident" coaching. It's identity and nervous system level work — the kind that creates real, lasting change.
Why I Started Inside Edge
I loved playing college hockey. I also spent a lot of it playing in my own head.
At 16, I almost didn't pursue the next level — not because I wasn't good enough, but because of a story I was telling myself that I couldn't even see at the time. My identity was so wrapped up in my performance that every mistake felt like a verdict on who I was. That weight is exhausting. And it's invisible to almost everyone around you.
What I needed then was someone who understood that the problem wasn't my effort or my skill. It was the story underneath it.
That's what I build with athletes now.
My approach
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Duluth, MN. I work with athletes in person and virtually across Minnesota using evidence-based methods — including Internal Family Systems, somatic work, and solution-focused therapy — always grounded in real conversation, not clinical distance.
You'll leave sessions with practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and confidence that holds under pressure.
Beyond the office
Two toddlers, a husky named Liam, and Lake Superior. I know what it means to never fully slow down — and how much is possible when you finally do.
