Kaity believes every athlete’s journey is unique. Rather than relying on generic mental skills programs, she works collaboratively with athletes to understand their goals, experiences, strengths, and challenges before developing individualized strategies for success.
Her approach emphasizes practical tools that athletes can confidently use during competition while also supporting confidence, resilience, and personal development outside of sport.
Kaity strives to create an encouraging environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and empowered to pursue both athletic excellence and personal growth.
Kaity takes a collaborative and culturally responsive approach to counseling. She pulls from evidence-based theories including acceptance-commitment, cognitive-behavioral and client-centered modalities.
Kaity has experience working with athletes across multiple sports and competition levels while helping individuals strengthen confidence, improve focus, and develop practical mental performance skills.
Her work focuses on creating individualized performance plans that help athletes navigate pressure, build resilience, and perform more consistently over time.
She enjoys helping athletes recognize that mental performance is not about becoming someone different—it’s about developing the skills necessary to consistently perform as the athlete they are capable of becoming.
Kaity graduated with her B.A. in Psychology from Illinois State University in addition to earning her certificate in Human Resources. Kaity also competed for the Division 1 Redbirds volleyball team and was a three-year team captain who helped lead her team to three NCAA tournament appearances. She earned conference honors including MVC Libero of the Year and MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Beyond athletics, Kaity contributed to Redbirds for Change, a diversity, equity, and inclusion organization dedicated to advancing social justice advocacy within the athletic community.
