You don't have to figure this out alone.
I work with teens and young adults who are tired, stuck, or somewhere in between — and want a real conversation with someone who's been on the inside of schools, hospitals, and families.
Coaching, not therapy.
Coaching means we work on what you actually want to change. If you're already seeing a therapist, great — coaching can run alongside their work, not over it. If you're not, we can figure out together what kind of support actually fits.
I won't take notes. I won't repeat what you tell me to your parents unless you ask me to. I will be honest with you, even when honest isn't comfortable. And I will stay curious with you, not stuck on what's “wrong.”
What we might work on
Real things, in your words.
- School and the executive-function stuff. Why starting feels impossible. What “ADHD” might or might not mean for you. The pattern of the late-night scramble.
- Friendships, dating, the social weight. The group chat that drains you. The person you keep checking on. Saying no without losing the relationship.
- The pull toward intensity. If you're a thrill-seeker — adventure, speed, substances, something else — what that need actually is, and how to channel it somewhere that doesn't cost you.
- The next thing. College or not. Job or gap year. Moving out or staying. The decision your parents are sure of that you aren't.
- The patterns you can already feel. The fight you keep having. The thing you keep almost-doing.
First three sessions, in plain language.
- 1. We talk for free. 15-20 minutes, on Zoom or phone. You decide if I'm someone you'd want to keep talking to. No pressure either way.
- 2. We pick one thing. Not five. One. Whatever's most actually-bothering-you right now is where we start.
- 3. We work on that one thing. Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly to start, then less when you don't need them as much.
