Academic Success Coaching
I help students (middle school through college) develop essential study habits, improve time management, and manage stress and anxiety so that they feel free to achieve the highest grades possible. By equipping them with effective strategies and personalized support, I empower students to perform at their best academically, while maintaining balance in their lives.
With my guidance, your student can confidently focus on excelling in their studies and reaching their full potential.
Is your teen or young adult struggling with confidence, stress, overwhelm, and perhaps a low social battery?
Does your teen or young adult have a high demand schedule and are they experiencing lots of pressure?
Are you a teen or young adult who needs some guidance on study habits, needs help to improve focus, or wants to achieve better grades?
I coach teenagers and young adults to navigate these difficult times, helping them increase the size of their social battery as well as increase confidence and maintain boundaries. I coach each of them to reach their full potential, helping them develop effective study habits, manage their time well, and overcome obstacles that might slow them down.
Achieving academic success in high school and college can be challenging for teenagers, but with the right support, these years can be exciting and rewarding.
Navigating high school and college can be tough for teenagers, and getting the right help is of paramount importance. Along with my 30 years of experience in the field of psychology, therapy, and coaching, I use a customized approach, drawing on concepts from Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly and other proven methodologies, to develop tailored strategies for each student. In one-on-one sessions, I focus on helping students build key skills such as communication, leadership, and effective problem-solving. By promoting a growth mindset and equipping students with practical tools for success, I guide them in transforming academic goals into measurable achievements and turning challenges into opportunities for personal development.
Building a strong foundation during these important school years is key for long-term success and personal growth.
I can help your child or young adult feel more confident, focus better, and achieve higher grades.
By providing the right mindset, tools, and support, I guide them to build a life full of purpose and happiness. Investing in their growth now prepares them for a future where they can confidently face challenges, seize opportunities, and lead with kindness and honesty. This foundation not only enhances their academic performance but also ensures they are well-rounded, resilient, and capable individuals ready for the demands of adult life.”

The effort and honesty you put forth in all of our sessions is unparalleled. Your dedication and passion to your work and clients truly shows, and has made an intense difference in my life. Instead of dreading going back to school, I'm looking forward to it. Instead of giving up on communicating to authority for fear of misunderstandings, I am ready and empowered to explain my perspective and stand by my beliefs.
Thank you so much for all your help this summer!

Amber, Your work with our teenage daughter has been remarkable. In just a few sessions, she was more confident and self-possessed. You gave her the language and context to not only understand herself, but to communicate with us what she is experiencing and feeling. Because of you, she has renewed her self confidence and found her voice. She is ready to return to her junior year of college and leave behind her self-doubt and negative thoughts. We are thrilled to watch her evolve into a mature adult and will forever be grateful for the very important role you played in her journey.
Thank you.
