Working
Together
Our relationship begins with a free 15 minute consultation. This is a chance for us to talk through what you’re looking for and explore how I might help. Moving forward, all sessions are 50 minutes and held remotely via video call unless we decide otherwise together.
For coaching sessions with students and young adults, we generally meet once a week, with communication between sessions as needed. For some topics — IEP/504 goals — one or two sessions may be all you need. There may also be times when we meet on an ongoing but irregular basis. We’ll decide together what schedule makes the most sense.
Parents are always welcome to schedule additional sessions for general check-ins or direct support. While I primarily work with the student or young adult, I partner with parents to untangle what’s happening, create tools that work at home, and find greater ease for everyone. I know you want to show up for your child without burning out, so together we’ll shape an approach that supports their growth and independence while also caring for you.
Regardless of the topic, I gently weave executive function skills in with all my coaching. Together we’ll build practical routines, systems, and strategies that align with the way you think. These practical tools delivered with compassionate support help you stay organized, focused, and on track.
Coaching is available for teens, college students, young adults, adults, and parents.
