Support for Kids & Teens
Helping Young Hearts Grow Through Life’s Challenges
Life can be overwhelming for kids and teens—especially when they’re navigating big emotions, family changes, or personal struggles. As a certified coach, I provide 1:1 play-based coaching that helps young people build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness in a safe, supportive space.
Who I Work With
I work with children and teens who are:
​​
-
Struggling with anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem
-
Adjusting to divorce, blended families, or co-parenting transitions
-
Feeling overwhelmed by school, friendships, or life changes
-
In need of tools to better express their thoughts and feelings
​​
Whether your child is quietly shutting down or acting out, I create a space where they can open up at their own pace—and begin building confidence and resilience from the inside out.
​​
Every child and teen is unique, and so is their experience. I meet them right where they are—with patience, compassion, and curiosity.
What Is Play-Based Coaching?
Play is how kids explore and make sense of the world around them. Through games, art, movement, storytelling, and conversation, I help children and teens build practical tools and skills they can apply in everyday life.
​​
In play-based coaching, I guide kids to:
​
-
recognize & navigate big emotions
-
Practice healthy coping strategies
-
Set boundaries and advocate for themselves
-
Strengthen problem-solving and communication skills
-
Build confidence in who they are
​
Every session is tailored to the child’s unique personality, needs, and stage of development.
​​
This isn’t traditional talk therapy—it’s a coaching approach designed to empower kids and teens to grow, learn, and move forward with greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.
Why Families Choose Coaching
Coaching is not therapy—it’s future-focused and action-oriented. I don’t analyze emotions or process the past; instead, I help kids and teens build skills and strategies they can apply in everyday life.
​
Coaching helps kids and teens:
​
-
Strengthen emotional resilience
-
Build confidence and a stronger sense of identity
-
Improve communication and relationships at home and school
-
Feel seen, supported, and encouraged
​​
The benefits often extend beyond the sessions—many parents notice greater peace at home, improved communication, and positive shifts in their child’s overall confidence and well-being.
What Parents Can Expect
You’re not just signing your child up for sessions—you’re stepping into a partnership. I keep you updated with tools, strategies, and insight into what your child is learning so you can continue supporting their growth long after each session ends. Together, we create a circle of support around your child’s emotional and personal development.
​​
Please note: Coaching is not a replacement for therapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. However, it can be a powerful complement to therapy in situations where therapeutic support is needed. Coaching focuses on practical tools, emotional growth, and forward movement—and often works beautifully alongside clinical care to support a child’s overall well-being.
​​
Your role as a parent or caregiver is vital—and I’m here to walk with you through it. If you’re wondering whether coaching is the right fit for your child, I’d love to talk it through with you.
