My goal as a Youth Empowerment Coach is to support, guide, and inspire young people as they navigate today’s peer pressures, expectations, social situations, and influences.

Children of all ages have a lot of stressors these days, and with mounting pressures stacking up as they decide their futures, very few have an adult ally who can help them figure out what they most want, then create and execute a strategy to reach those goals. I offer extra support for guardians to help their kids adapt to stress, build self confidence, learn practices to self soothe, and build awareness of their own strengths and values.

​Through this process, they become more courageous, conscientious, organized, and equipped to improve all aspects of their lives, including physical, mental, and emotional health, social interactions, and academic success.

In weekly, hour-long youth coaching sessions (virtual or in-person), I help kids understand the elements of complex elements of their lives, find areas of improvement, and help inspire a sense of agency in co-creating a plan forward. Together we build hope in shaping future goals and start with small strategies to inch closer to that reality.

Along the way, we explore the unique traits that make them who they are—their strengths, values, and learning styles—and turn their challenges into tools for designing their ideal life.

I take a bio-individual approach and discover with my clients where they are arriving from and what areas need change. Once we have clarity here, we figure out what’s behind the challenges and build a personalized plan for getting through the blocks and reaching their vision of success.

Depending on where the child/teenager is, we may focus on academic success, college and career track, anxiety reduction and stress management, social connections, self exploration, or a combination unique to them.

Youth coaching programs require time to build trust and reassurance as the child navigates a difficult time, needs help at school, or is interested in improving overall health and wellbeing. We begin with an 8-week program to establish a trusting relationship, plan for action, and begin working together on carrying out strategies to achieve goals.

For some, it may feel more beneficial to work with the academic calendar, supporting the child as they navigate the complexities of school life. For others, they may seek a more dynamic engagement over summer break. Pricing is determined based on these factors, as well as the financial needs of the family.
