Sport & Performance Psychologist
Her work is especially valuable for athletes performing on visible stages — where preparation, attention, and emotional regulation must align in moments that matter most.
Dr. Anderson works with athletes competing on international stages, where years of preparation converge into a single performance window. She helps athletes build systems that allow them to execute under scrutiny, expectation, and uncertainty.
As the structure of women’s athletics shifts, athletes face new pressures related to visibility, identity, and opportunity. Dr. Anderson supports female athletes in navigating confidence, comparison, leadership, and long-term performance sustainability.
Performance often breaks down not because of skill — but because of attention. Dr. Anderson trains athletes to manage internal and external distractions, maintain composure, and execute intentionally under pressure.
From injury recovery to team leadership shifts to post-season transitions, Dr. Anderson helps athletes maintain stability as their roles and environments evolve.
