In January 2017, I helped New Orleans' Academy of the Sacred Heart redesign their planner, and conducted a workshop with the entire freshman class. The original student planner was nothing more than a glorified assignment pad, and together we turned it into something functional. 

Maybe you describe yourself as a "young, single professional." Maybe you've graduated from college or an advanced degree program and have embarked on your dream career. Maybe this "dream career" is exactly what you wanted, or maybe it isn't. Maybe things aren't lining up the way you'd hoped they would by now, in your late twenties, thirties, or even forties.

Why a life coach for college-age students? We're all aware that college students are balancing a lot: a full load of classes, a part-time or full-time job, a busy social life, and family obligations. Meanwhile, they're also living on their own for the first time, maintaining their budgets, their time, their laundry, and their health.

If you're a mother or father of a lower-school student who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, you may be relieved to finally put a name to the complexities your child experiences when it comes to finishing tasks, focusing on school work, or adjusting to the demands of a new teacher each year.

I learn as much from my clients as they do from me.  Last night I was helping a young woman figure out a way to manage her phone addiction.  There is a new guy in her life.  And he is sometimes on her phone.  And sometimes he is not.  So she checks.  And she checks often.  And so her work doesn’t get done.  

A few years ago, my son was diagnosed with ADHD.  I had been a middle and high school teacher for over ten years, but had never experienced ADHD as a parent. I read every book, researched every website and attended every workshop and seminar about ADHD in the New Orleans area.  I was on a mission to help my son.
