SERVICES:
With over 10 years of experience in education and mentoring, I offer virtual and in-person life coaching and academic counseling for teens and young adults. Life coaching is a mentoring relationship, not therapy, that focuses on practical goal setting, life skills and open, honest communication. The ultimate purpose is to produce self-awareness and confidence in a teen so they can achieve their own unique social, academic, professional and other personal goals. I act as a confidant and guide through that process, and also coordinate with parents to help facilitate the growth of their teen, elicit open communication and improve family relationships. As an experienced educator I also offer academic assistance, including college admissions and SAT/ACT and school tutoring.
BIOGRAPHY:
I am a veteran educator with over 10 years of experience working with teens and young adults. I've worn many hats in the field of education as a high school teacher, the social skills and academic manager at a private school, the group director of a teen travel summer camp, and the owner of a private tutoring business. My philosophy for my clients is one of compassion, respect and occasional tough love, with the ultimate goal of helping the teens and young adults I work with on their journey of becoming independent, confident adults. I also host and produce The Educator Podcast.
