MENTAL RESILIENCE FOR MEANINGFUL PERFORMANCE

UNLOCK YOUR

You’re not broken.
You’re responding to real demands — in sport, in life, or both.

At some point, most people run into moments where pushing harder stops working. Anxiety may become more persistent. Mood can dip. Confidence feels less steady. Discomfort shows up and starts to feel harder to stay with — whether that’s during training, after an injury or loss, or in the middle of a life transition.

These experiences don’t mean something is wrong with you. They mean your system is being asked to adapt.

At Unlocked Counseling, I work with people who are capable, thoughtful, and often high-functioning — and who may also be navigating anxiety, stress-related symptoms, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty regulating their nervous system under pressure. My work with clients isn’t about forcing change or overriding the body. It’s about learning how to work with discomfort, develop psychological flexibility, and move forward with more clarity and intention.

Unlocked Counseling is a therapy practice supporting both mental health and performance-related challenges.

At Unlocked Counseling, I support people in moving through anxiety, stress, and self-doubt so they can feel more grounded and confident in what matters most.

My work is grounded in a strong clinical mental health foundation and informed by sports counseling and performance work. Performance shows up in many forms. Whether you’re an athlete, a student, a professional, or navigating a challenging season of life, our work together focuses on building resilience, breaking through mental blocks, and reconnecting with your goals, motivation, and sense of purpose—in sport, relationships, work, and life.

LET'S GET STARTED

Is This You?

✔ You feel stuck by anxiety, self-doubt, or mental blocks.
✔ You’re recovering from a setback and unsure how to move forward
✔ You’re questioning your identity beyond performance or productivity
✔ You’re juggling big goals with an already full (and maybe overwhelming) life
✔ You want to show up with more confidence and consistency
✔ You’re in a transition and wondering what’s next?


All of these challenges are more common than you think—and they show up for people in many different seasons of life. With the right support, it’s possible to move through these hurdles, build resilience, and come out feeling more grounded and confident.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING


“Christy is in a unique position to understand the deep connection mountain athletes have with their sports”


Eighteen months ago I had a stroke while on a training hike near my home in Almont, Colorado. The experience wreaked havoc with every aspect of my life. Fortunately, I met Christy on the journey to regaining the ability to do the outdoor things that I love- skiing, mountain biking, paddleboarding, hiking, and trail running. Christy is in a unique position to understand the deep connection mountain athletes have with their sports and the physical and mental challenges that stand in the way of performance when dealing with injury. I cannot thank her enough for helping me regain confidence and overcome my fears, not just in the outdoors but in my life as well.
