Ways I can Work with You

Teens are under a lot of pressure. They have multiple people telling them what to do, from peers, parents, teachers to social media “influencers.” The fact is quite often they need someone who can listen their wants and goals and help them outline a roadmap towards that success.

As a certified life coach for teens, I take an approach that harnesses each teenager’s strengths, acknowledges weaknesses, and builds confidence to succeed one step at a time.

How does it work?

I offer hour-long coaching sessions (virtual or in-person) and start by getting to the person I am working with. What are his or her vision of an ideal future? What does it take to get there>

We take into consideration their talents and interests, what’s most important to achieve success, and personality. From there, we collaborate on a strategy plan that starts slowly and gains momentum.

Stress Reduction: For young people, there is a lot of stress caused by academic pressures, parental expectations and attempts to find friendship that they can count on. I have created a system of evaluating teens’ perceptions of themselves and reframing their reality to ease what they feel is inducing anxiety. I turn kids who are struggling with self-worth into ones who embrace their unique identity and roles in life.

Social Connections: It’s really tough to fit in. Fitting in can take on so many meanings. But for most teenagers feeling comfortable their peers is very important, no matter what adults think of this on the scale of what matters in life. Again, I will get clarity on what their ideal social environment can be and work with them to figure out why their current relationships may not be working. After identifying their vision for having better social connections, we formulate concrete steps that lead to betterment.

Self Identity: Most often teens are told who they should be. But we all know happiness comes from within. Living in shame of who we really are can lead a variety of issues that can affect every facet of life. Everyone was put on this earth with gifts to share. I help teenagers find their passions and turn them into constructive activities that can transform every waking moment.
