Functioning Success
Services
Establishing client rapport is my first objective, building a trusting relationship within a safe, comfortable space. Celebrating strengths and improving weaknesses, I provide clients with executive function and emotional intelligence coaching, along with behavior and homework planning. By addressing areas of concern through effective communication and problem solving, I modify a plan for each specific situation within a confidential setting. This process is assessed during regular check-ins allowing for troubleshooting as needed. The duration of coaching is client specific and depends upon motivation, improvements, and applications to everyday life leading to overall success.
Executive Function Coaching
How often do you think about thinking? I provide specialized knowledge in executive function skills through a collaborative, client-centered approach. This model uses proven research along with questionnaires and strategies from experts in the field of executive function coaching. One-on-one sessions run twice weekly to assess and address executive function skills in the brain such as task initiation, sustained attention, flexibility, organization and more.
Emotional Intelligence Coaching
Not only does the brain affect our attentional abilities but the heart does as well. Being cognizant of our emotions and having the power to regulate them takes patience and practice. The mindfulness approach makes it more manageable by putting the client back in control. One-on-one sessions run twice weekly and may include but are not limited to social skills training, cognitive flexibility, response inhibition, growth mindset, stress tolerance and more.
Behavior and Homework Planning
Is there a specific behavior you'd like to change? Sometimes all it takes is motivation and daily reminders. This method focuses on behavior interventions and corresponding reward systems that follow your daily schedule. The homework planning piece helps families establish a routine at home using simple yet effective strategies. This technique teaches accountability and time management skills, along with essay writing and project planning steps to completion.
