College Transition & Academic Success Coach

Individual Coaching

Individual work can make a big difference in your journey. Coaches partner with their clients to design the life they want, bring out their clients’ own brilliance and resources so that they can achieve excellence and create purposeful, extraordinary lives. Coaches help clients to bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be. By creating clarity, coaching moves the client into action, accelerating their progress by providing greater focus and awareness of all the possibilities which exist to create fulfilling lives.


Family Work

Parents and other family members play an important role in supporting a student’s preparation and transition to college and beyond. Also parents feel the tension, excitement and fear involved in this process. I partner with you to look at strategies to take a step back while still supporting your student and can work with you as you explore what it means to send someone off to college.


For Educators

Counselors, teachers, and college professionals serve as critical supports for students in their journey toward success. I love working as a consultant for these key figures as they work alongside students. I can provide consultation, workshops, skills training, or simply a listening ear. I am looking forward to building the network of high school professionals I have partnered with in the past and seek opportunities to connect with other college professionals.


Workshops

Workshops can be great introductions to my services and a way to quickly gain skills for success. Learning in a group environment allows for a shared experience and insight gained from different people's perspectives. Workshops are typically 2 hours and cover topics such as:

  • Building skills for Independence

  • Strategies for Remote Learning

  • Time Management

  • Goal Setting

  • College Ready Communication Skills

  • Tips for Stress Management

  • Academic Anxiety

  • Sharpening Study Skills

  • Making the most of your College Experience
