As an executive functioning coach, I offer support for 7th grade- college students looking to up their organizational game. This ranges from motivation, procrastination, material organization, planning systems, note-taking, study and memorization techniques, test taking (standardized and academic), time management, and breaking down multi-step assignments. My goal is to meet each client where they are and help them achieve their ultimate goals for academic and personal success. Now offering virtual and in-person sessions. Email me at mindsproutchicago@gmail.com to see if your child could benefit from an executive functioning coach.

Utilizing my Masters in Teaching, I provide individual coaching sessions with ADHD, LD, and social emotionally challenged teens in order to support executive functioning skills for high school and college, such as self-regulation skills; the mental processes that enable clients to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.

I work with organizations to train their staff in utilizing the elements of storytelling to build stronger teams and improve the effectiveness of their professional goals. I have helped large companies, non-profit organizations, schools, libraries, and universities harness the power of storytelling, vulnerability, and connection. Workshops available and also tailored to your organization's needs.
