My coaching approach can help with…well, just about anything young people struggle with. I start with a science-based understanding that…
» people are internally driven toward success
» internal and external forces can clutter their path
» with the right tools and support, people can change their circumstances
I apply this understanding to whatever my client is struggling with.
Issues I help teen clients with include:
» anxiety: social, academic, general
» body image issues
» bullying
» combative approach to family dynamics
» power struggles with teachers
» poor grades in school
» choosing friends who are a negative influence
» confusion about college and career goals
» risky sexual behaviors
» attention-seeking behaviors
» low self-worth influencing relationship and career choices
» transitioning to new surroundings
» motivation issues
» smoking
» self-reliance
