Parent Coaching
(virtual or in-person)
Parenting a tw/teen is not easy. It is not intuitive. And, it is not always rewarding. Many parents feel unequipped to deal with the challenges of adolescence and they don't know where to go for learning or support.
Many parents feel that they don't have a community to reach out to for non-judgemental support and guidance when times are tough. Books, blogs, and Facebook posts are great, but they aren't alive, engaging, or responsive in real-time. That is why I am here to help!
​
Join me for private coaching sessions where we will focus on the challenges most relevant to you and your family. These sessions can be proactive, in anticipation of challenges down the road, or focused on concerns in real-time.

Tw/Teen & Emerging Adult Coaching
(virtual or in-person)
Our tw/teens and emerging adults (post high school) have been through a lot over the past couple of years. Covid has changed their world dramatically. Among other things, there has been an uptick in mental health challenges (particularly depression and anxiety), social delays, gender identity understanding, and difficulty building resilience.
​
Sign your tw/teen or emerging adult up for private coaching sessions that will help your tw/teen or emerging adult navigate their life with more confidence and competence. Whether they are on a good path or dealing with challenges in their lives, coaching can help guide them on a path that aligns better with what they want for their life.
​
I can focus on the big picture or dive into focus areas such as academic success, anxiety reduction, social connections, self-exploration, or college/career paths.
