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 healing from the inside out.
​​
​Every child/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 process the world around them. Through games, art, movement, story-telling and conversation, I guide them to:
​
-
Identify and manage big emotions
-
Learn healthy coping strategies
-
Set boundaries and speak up for themselves
-
Develop problem-solving and communication skills
-
Feel more confident in who they are
​
Every session is tailored to the child’s unique personality, needs, and stage of development.
​​
This isn’t like traditional talk therapy—it’s a coaching approach designed to empower kids and teens to move forward with practical tools and greater self-awareness.
Why Families Choose Coaching
Coaching is not therapy—it’s future-focused and solution-oriented. I don’t just talk about emotions, I help kids & teens work through them in ways that feel natural and empowering.
​
Coaching helps kids and teens:
​
-
Build emotional resilience
-
Strengthen their identity
-
Improve their relationships at home and school
-
Feel seen, heard, and supported
​
The benefits reach beyond the sessions—many parents notice more peace, stronger communication, and emotional breakthroughs at home, too.
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.
