Coaching is about action. It is a collaborative relationship focused on making a tangible change in the student's way of life. We work together to identify barriers and pain points, try out new strategies and problem-solving approaches, and set up habits and systems to help you sustain that change over the long term.

Tutoring is for help with a specific academic subject and learning the content; you need help with calculus so you want to work with someone who is an expert in that content area. Coaching helps with general learning and study strategies, but isn't specific to a particular subject. I can help you make a study plan for the calc midterm, but I am definitely not the person to help you with derivatives!

Therapy is about healing emotional wounds, and processing difficult emotions. Many students who benefit from coaching also work with a therapist. Some students need to work with a therapist before they are ready to act on what they learn in coaching.

I work with high school, undergraduate and graduate students. I also work with post-bac students, and students who are on a leave of absence or gap year. In those cases, we might work on personal goal setting, establishing healthy habits and routines, work/life balance, and academic exposure (i.e. I will assign you a research paper, self-study project, etc. so you can practice academic skills in a low-stakes setting). I often work with students with learning disabilities, chronic or mental health disabilities, and/or who are neurodiverse.
