"Our lives of learning are filled with hills and mountains. It's simply not enough to know what to climb; we must also know how to climb." - Gloria Frender (Learning to Learn)

Life-skills and Wellness Coaching for Teens and Young Adults
The fast paced, achievement focused life of teens and young adults can leave many feeling overwhelmed and underprepared as they navigate life's inevitable ups and downs.
Hi! I'm Yvette. Do you have a teen or young adult who is struggling to manage their academic and personal responsibilities? Are they feeling disorganized, confused, or overwhelmed by their current circumstances? Are they functioning on little sleep, poor health habits, or feeling burned out and unsure about the future?
I can help! As a former school psychologist and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I bring years of experience working with adolescents and young adults, and proven strategies to support learning and growth to guide my clients. I help them get clear about their strengths, interests and goals. They will create a plan of action, practice new habits, learn from setbacks and successes and develop a growth mindset. They will move confidently into their adult lives with habits and strategies to support their success!
Teens and young adults are at an exciting stage of life; learning to understand their unique strengths, interests and needs, and adjust to a life with greater responsibility and independence.
Success and wellbeing in life goes far beyond scores on admissions tests and GPA.
Those who can flow through the inevitable challenges of life have developed self efficacy, a growth mindset, and effective habits and strategies to help them step into adulthood with confidence.
My coaching program offers a powerful solution to help teens and young adults thrive.

"Yvette's coaching was an overwhelmingly positive experience that helped me make progress toward my academic, health and fitness goals. We worked together to establish action plans that allowed me to track and assess how things were going. I benefitted greatly from, and much appreciate, Yvette's support and guidance."

"Even across a computer screen Yvette felt present and helpful to me. Yvette helped me break seemly daunting tasks into smaller steps that I could complete. I feel better equipped to handle large to-dos after working with her. I also developed some new and healthy small habits including exercise, cutting down on screen time and taking the time to be creative with her help. Yvette not only listened to my life challenges but helped me find
solutions to them."

"I am beyond thankful for your tremendous work with RN. I have watched her from the sidelines really lean in to the work she has been doing to make some changes. These habits are sticking which is so cool. I can't thank you enough."
- Jen (Parent)
"I was feeling really stressed about whether or not to stay in college and I wasn't sleeping well and was having a hard time getting motivated. Coaching helped me make a plan and feel better about making some decisions, and also helped me learn to manage my stress better."
- Carter, 20
I have worked with Yvette within the educational system, where we facilitated group programs and worked together with individual students experiencing major life transitions and learning difficulties. Yvette has a natural ability to quickly establish rapport and trust with both adolescents and adults. She is a compassionate and skilled professional who supports and empowers others."
