Navigating a complex life challenge, managing stress, or simply seeking to feel more grounded and aligned requires a thoughtful approach. I work with adolescent boys (ages 13 and up) and adult men to provide a supportive, confidential space for growth. Whether you are a parent seeking care for your son or reaching out for yourself, our work is rooted in trust and clinical insight.

Honest Dialogue & Practical Feedback

Having effective therapeutic tools matters, but real progress comes from having a space to speak with complete honestly and receive direct, constructive feedback. A strong male clinical perspective can be uniquely grounding for boys and men negotiating today’s pressures.

Common Areas of Focus:

• Anxiety, stress management, and emotional overwhelm

• Depression, low motivation, or life transitions

• Pressure to perform in academics, athletics, or professional life

• Relationships and communication

• Self-acceptance and personal purpose

Continuity of Care Across States (PSYPACT)

Because I am licensed through PSYPACT in 43+ states, I can work with clients nationally and often stay with them through high school, college, and into adulthood. This ensures seamless continuity of care without the need to start over with someone new after a move.

I admire the courage it takes to speak openly and consider new perspectives. My goal for every client is to complete our work together having gained lasting clarity, deeper understanding, and a genuine sense of ease.

Parent Coaching

Raising children in a fast-paced world brings genuine complexity, and navigating family dynamics can leave even the most dedicated parents looking for better tools. I work with parents, either as a standalone parent coach or alongside individual therapy for their children, to bring more ease, clarity, and connection into the home.

I deeply appreciate working with parents who recognize that our children give us a continual opportunity to learn and become better versions of ourselves.

A Skill-Based, Practical Approach

Parenting is a dynamic skill set that can be learned, refined, and adapted as your children grow. Our work focuses on practical, real-world tools for handling everyday challenges while building a home culture rooted in mutual respect and clear communication.

Common Areas of Focus:

• Communication strategies that reduce defensiveness and foster connection

• Discipline and boundary-setting without constant conflict or power struggles

• Emotional support and regulation to help children reduce stress and build resilience

• Family conflict resolution for smoother daily transitions and a calmer household

• Parenting alignment to help partners stay on the same page

Depth of Experience & Telehealth Care (PSYPACT)

Our coaching work is grounded in proven, evidence-informed models. As a certified instructor of Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.), I facilitate workshops designed to give parents actionable skills. Over two decades, I have had the privilege of facilitating parenting workshops, creating a parent education series for Whole Foods, and participating as a guest expert at the Chicago Children’s Museum's Parent University.

Because I am licensed through PSYPACT in 43+ states, I can work with parents across the country. This offers flexible, uninterrupted support for families who travel frequently or relocate.

My goal is to equip you with the practical tools, confidence, and perspective needed to reduce power struggles and create a calmer, more connected home life.

Building Confidence & Learning Habits That Last

While subject tutoring helps with daily coursework, academic coaching focuses on how students learn. I work with high school and college students (including high achievers, struggling learners, and students with or without ADHD) to help them get organized, manage their time, and build habits that make school feel less overwhelming.

Custom Systems Built Around Your Child

The brain skills needed to plan, prioritize, and focus continue developing through high school and college. Rather than handing students rigid workbooks or pre-packaged programs, we build systems together tailored to your child's personality and daily routine.

These tools do not just apply to schoolwork. They show up everywhere else in a teen's life, helping them land a summer job, make the varsity team, lead a club, keep commitments to friends, and step into adulthood with confidence.

Possible Areas of Focus (Tailored to your child's individual needs and goals):

• Stress and anxiety management using grounding tools to stay calm during exams and high-pressure moments

• Organization and executive function to simplify daily planning, prioritize assignments, and stop procrastinating

• Focus and study strategies to build habits and design distraction-free environments where students do their best work

• Understanding teacher expectations to help students decode class requirements, grading rubrics, and assignment feedback

• Self-advocacy and engagement to build confidence in asking questions, seeking help, and taking charge of their education

Flexible Ways to Work Together

Coaching adapts to what your child needs most. Some students see me for a short period to address a specific challenge (like managing a heavy course load or getting through a stressful term).

Others stay with me for ongoing support across high school and into college because true habit change takes time. Together, we look at their entire daily system—building a strong coaching relationship, trying out different strategies to see what clicks, and automating positive tools so students no longer waste mental energy thinking about them.

30+ Years of Classroom Insights

The tools I share come directly from 30+ years of working inside high school classrooms with teens every single day. Offered online across the country, I help students take ownership of their education, understand how their own minds work best, and move confidently into the professional world.

My goal for every student is simple: to leave our work feeling self-reliant, confident, and prepared to navigate school, career, and life on their own terms.

Math Mastery, Built to Last

I work with students ages 13 and up, from algebra through AP Calculus BC. I believe every student is capable of real success in math. The difference is rarely ability, it's finding the method that fits how they think. My coaching is built around that belief, along with the self-esteem and genuine interest that lasting math skill depends on.

Starting From Where a Student Actually Is

No two students arrive at math the same way. Some need to rebuild trust in their own ability after a hard year; others are ready to move faster than their current class allows. I once worked with a small group of students who entered ninth grade in the lowest math track and, through consistent coaching, reached AP Calculus by senior year. Rather than a fixed curriculum, I adapt to each student's pace, thinking style, and goals.

Areas We Might Work On:

• Test and problem-set anxiety through practical strategies for staying calm under pressure

• Foundational skills that hold up long past this semester's grade

• Conceptual understanding, not shortcuts or memorized steps

• Honors and AP-level readiness, including preparation through AP Calculus BC

• A renewed interest in math as something worth engaging with

How We Work Together

Every student's timeline is different. Some come to me for a defined stretch — getting through a hard unit, prepping for an exam, closing a specific gap. Others continue for years, because real skill in math is built gradually, one habit at a time.

Decades in the Classroom

This method is grounded in decades of teaching math at every level, from foundational algebra through AP Calculus BC. I work with students online, nationwide.

My goal is for every student to leave our work with a genuinely different relationship to math — one built on understanding, not just grades, and confidence they carry with them.

Demystifying the Writing Process & Building Confident Writers

A writing coach offers support in all stages of writing (idea development, organization, grammar, and clarity) and for all kinds of writers.

Meeting Writers Where They Are:

• Reluctant writers seek out writing coaches because they absolutely hate writing and suffer from "writer's block" whenever they are asked to write something.

• Eager writers love writing and are looking to develop their skills and broaden their writing experiences.

• Most students fall somewhere in between those two categories and are looking to strengthen their skills and demystify the writing process.

Individual Support

As a writing coach, I meet students where they are and develop individual plans to nurture, strengthen, and develop students' writing skills.

Areas of Expertise (Tailored to your student's goals):

• College essay writing

• Analytical writing

• Expository writing

• Personal narrative writing

Flexible Ways to Work Together

Coaching adapts to what your student needs. Some students seek support for a specific paper or college essay, while others choose ongoing sessions to strengthen their core writing habits.

Decades of Teaching Experience

With decades of teaching experience across middle school, high school, college, and one-on-one tutoring, I help students master structure, tone, and expression online nationwide.

My goal is to help the student become a confident, competent writer.
