Educational Psychologist – Personal Growth & Relationship Coach
How I can help you
I have navigated the joys and challenges of parenting, marriage, and career and have experienced numerous personal, educational, and professional transitions. I have a keen understanding of personal change strategy and unique capacity for empathic listening and holding space for my clients to imagine and bring about the best possible version of themselves. Moreover, I am optimistic about human potential to change and grow and passionate about supporting others to have more joy, less conflict, and more personally meaningful lives.
My in-depth understanding of human development, emotional intelligence, transformational learning, and the human brain provides the foundation for my work.
Services
Connected Parenting
Parent/Family Coaching
Parenting Classes
It's been said that "parenting is the hardest job you will ever love," and that "a parent is only as happy as their saddest child." Both of these statements reveal the undeniable thread of connection between parent and child. I help parents/step-parents/guardians understand concerning behaviors and developmental needs of their children and share tools to support positive behaviors and an enduring and positive connection.
Teen/Young Adult Coaching
Coaching for Social, Academic, and Career Growth
Growing up is no simple "walk in the park," and too many are feeling stressed out, anxious, and rudderless in a quickly changing and ever more uncertain world. I coach and mentor youth/young adults to develop problem solving skills, mindfulness and stress reduction, and habits and patterns to help them feel more successful, more in control and more optimistic about their futures.
Transitions & Growth
Coaching, Consulting, Assessment
Most people yearn for and seek purpose and meaning in their lives. Adults and children feel this equally. I am passionate about helping ALL individuals identify their "Best Self" – what it is that intrinsically motivates them, inspires them and others, gives them hope, and engages them more happily. I'd love to help you along the way to deeper fulfillment as you navigate life's transitions and your own personal growth!
