TEEN COACHING
The teenage years are incredibly turbulent as the ego is challenged and boosted regularly with new fears and pressure from parents, school, and friends. Potential insecurities and anxieties can often lead to behavior many of us laugh off as “the teens," but in reality, many young people are suffering during these years. This is partially because they are constantly changing and evolving, and because not everybody learns or develops at the same speed, or in the same way, which can lead to conflict with the standardized norms of their schools, families, and society. In addition, the past few years have disrupted all “normals,” and created new sets of obstacles while heightening old ones. However, even when teens find themselves stuck in a rut, depressed, replaying cyclical, detrimental behavior, they each represent a unique expression of... Themselves.
Day 1 Coaching strives to empower young people to open up to and develop their self-awareness, and devise strategies to actively, and consciously, take part in their own "leveling up” process..." I coach young people to take a more proactive approach towards achieving their greatest potential at every given moment, through the practice of mindfulness, empathy, and self-discipline, which I define, in part, as self-love.
Many of the benefits of teen coaching are often consistent across experiences:
Stronger, more grounded sense of self, and self-worth
Improved relationship with family
Increased social literacy with peers
Better organization, time management, and study skills
Better relationship with the concept of school itself
However, the road to progress looks differently for everyone. With this in mind, approaching each child, young adult , and family differently, is essential to mapping out a path towards greater self-confidence, self-esteem, and grounded purpose, both in present endeavors and responsibilities, and in future ones .

FAMILY COACHING
Our approach to family coaching requires similar flexibility as no two parents, marriages, or families dynamic are the same. Each parent-child relationship has it's own set of circumstances... It's own environment. The other parent, role models, siblings, etc, all represent environmental components that affect how each parent parents and is affected by their role. Just as children often forget that their parents are human beings with their own original experiences, wants, and needs, parents often forget that their children are original formations, who may not operate on the same frequency. At Day 1 Coaching, we help parents find ways to bridge the gap between their established personalities and norms, and their children’s ever changing and evolving approach to life. The goal is to create peace and balance for all members of the family, or “Home Team.”
ACADEMIC COACHING AND CONSULTING+
Every student learns differently, and at times, classroom, and group instruction does not lead to a full comprehension of material. Thus, I offer comprehensive support to my teenage and young adult clients and their families. My goal is to support my client’s education and passions, and by focusing on this, I can better help them find the confidence to succeed in their schools, families, and within themselves!
SUBJECT TUTORING: Cooperating with our client’s teachers and schools, we offer a full range of subject tutoring and academic enrichment in a more personalized, one-on-one setting.
TEST PREP: We offer a full array of Standardized test support, including ISEE, SAT, and ACT prep, as well as AP exam tutoring, with prioritization of test taking technique and content enrichment.
EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING: Solid organization, time management, and communication skills are essential for any type of academic success to successfully navigating social interactions, and task performance at home, in the school, at work, etc. In addition, focus and concentration can be greatly improved by adding mindfulness and meditation practices to the daily regime.
SCHOOL APPLICATION SUPPORT: The high school and college application process can be stressful and daunting to the best of students and most organized of families. Where to begin, what schools to apply to, and how to approach tests and required essays are essential and complicated questions on the table. The most efficient and successful approach to applying to high school, and college begins within. Identity work is at the core of our process.
ATHLETE MENTAL PERFORMANCE COACHING: High school and college athletics can be a high stress world, filled with constant expectations that can overwhelm even the most talented of athletes. As a former athlete, and basketball coach, I know how important it can be to feel supported outside of the team environment. Coaching can help young men and women build confidence, motivation, focus, and navigate the politics of competitive team sports.
