Academic Consulting and Coaching
The events of the last two years impacted everyone's daily lives. There is an argument to be made that the school-age children took the brunt of the impact. Any underlying emotional, or academic struggles were perpetuated and exacerbated by the disruption of daily life, and the routine of in-person learning. Now that we are returning to some level of normalcy, we are seeing the academic and emotional impacts of the past two years, in the classroom. Students have continued to progress through grade levels, but there are some significant gaps in knowledge and maturity as a result of the online learning format. I work with individuals to identify specific areas of struggle, whether academic or emotional (or some combination) and come up with an action plan to address it and get back on track. Here are some of the common challenges and my general approach to helping:
Executive Functioning:
*Time management, organizational skills, adaptive learning styles, planning and prioritizing, initiating larger projects, and more.
Emotional Intelligence, Tolerance and Regulation
*Emotional vocabulary and awareness, distress tolerance skills.
Gaps in Knowledge
*Finding out where students lack content understanding, review and reteach important concepts.

I am not a licensed therapist, nor do I claim to be. I have over a decade of experience working in the mental health field, but I do not diagnose nor assign any official labels to any client I work with. I can offer observations which help clients work through some of these issues, and/or refer clients to other resources if they have additional needs.
