Therapy is an opportunity to talk about feelings and patterns surrounding past events. Coaching is focused on building skills to take action in the future. This primary difference explains why coaching is so effective with teens. Not only do they need a space to explore their feelings, fears and identity, but also they benefit from having a mentor who can help them devise specific plans to achieve their goals. Through this work, teens gain fundamentals such as resilience and self-awareness at a critical time in their lives - enabling them to better navigate life’s ups and downs.

Unfortunately, coaching is not currently covered by health insurance. We realize coaching is an investment for families, and helping your teen develop the tools she needs to thrive is a responsibility we treat with great respect. 

My coaching sweet spot is girls ages 15 to 26. I also offer one-on-one Parent coaching.

It all depends on the person, but I recommend girls work with a coach for a minimum of 3 months. I have found that it takes at least this amount of time to build their trust, bolster their self-awareness and make headway with their goals.

Parents are not part of the teen sessions by design. I want girls to feel fully comfortable opening up without thinking they are going to get in trouble or be judged.

Parents are included in the inquiry call as well as monthly check-in calls.

Strategically. You know your teen best, but make sure you’re presenting it in a positive light. As a rule of thumb, remember these tidbits:

Position it as a GIFT that will give her a confidant and mentor with an outsider’s perspective as well as tools to be happy throughout life.

Be ENTHUSIASTIC about the experience and keep the vibe light.

Make sure she knows the experience is hers to OWN.

I offer different coaching packages that will be outlined in the free inquiry call.

Teen sessions are 50-minute video calls over FaceTime or WhatsApp.

My coaching method focuses on helping girls develop critical life skills, such as building self-awareness, self-care and self-confidence strategies. I also work together to achieve tangible goals she’s identified.

In addition, my coaching model enables me to mentor girls in real-time, providing suggestions for day-to-day obstacles that arise.

Let’s set up a call to discuss your daughter. Then, I will introduce myself to her over text and set up a 15 minute Factime "meet and greet". After that call, if you both decide you want to move forward, we’ll select the right package, finalize the paperwork and schedule the first session.

I speak teen…always have! But more importantly, I have more than 10 years of experience working with pre-teen, teen girls and young women. Not only do I work with girls on a 1:1 basis through coaching, I also created a non profit called "It's a Girls Life" where we have initiatives focused on empowering girls to discover and build GRIT in order to grow into strong, confident women. I am so incredibly passionate about this work and take immense pride in the accomplishments of each of my clients.
