The years of "teenagehood" is turbulent, exciting, and scary. Teens need someone to turn to, that can be a trusted ear to help them bounce ideas and problems off, without fear of judgment. While needing that someone to be an adult, there is comfort in it not being their parent. My goal as a coach is never to advise what should be done, but instead to ask powerful questions guiding my clients to look within for what could be done. We can nag them until we are blue in the face, but the reality is that unless your child finds motivation within, no real lasting change will take place. 

​

When we add together the stress of school, an unprecedented 2020, perhaps life changes, and an entirely new way to "go" to school, it is evident that students need coaching more than ever. 

​

I bring to the table my academic, life, and wellness coaching certifications, 25 years as an educator, and experience of raising three daughters. My approach is one of kind listening, gentle nudging, and a good old-fashioned "Here's the deal..." when needed. 

​

In addition to increased grades, confidence, and life goals, students leave my office with life skills that will help them be true to themselves, set SMART goals with actionable steps, and feel ready to adult!

​

There are two options available for this program. Academic coaching, while still takes the student's emotional needs as the lead, focuses on academic success and includes regular grade checks. Life coaching is designed to help your teen navigate the challenges of being a teen and learning to thrive and grow into an independent young adult. No grade checks or academic systems reviews are included in the life coaching program.

Fine print: Please note this is a coaching experience, as I am not a licensed therapist. Some ask the difference between a therapist and a coach. Put loosely, a therapist talks about feelings and past experiences. A coach addresses feelings and actionable steps toward the future. Also, we cannot guarantee an increase in grades, although that is common with coaching, as ultimately, your child's grades are a reflection of his/her dedication to work and the program.
