Why families work with me

What makes this different

Coaching is not therapy- and that's the point

Therapy and coaching both have a place. Here's how skills-based coaching with children compares to traditional therapy.

Traditional therapy

Often diagnosis & treatment focused

  • Focus on assessment, diagnosis & symptom relief
  • Talk-based, processing past experiences
  • Clinical setting & framework
  • Often longer-term, open-ended
  • Parents typically less involved in sessions
  • Insurance and clinical licensing required

Children's coping coaching

Practical, skill-building & forward-focused

  • Practical tools & real-life skill building
  • Role-play, games & active rehearsal
  • Practice between sessions, at home & school
  • Nervous system regulation built in
  • Parents involved when appropriate
  • Goal-focused, time-bound support

My approach

What sessions actually look like

A grounded blend of child mental health expertise, children's yoga, mindfulness, and somatic tools - woven together in a way that feels playful, never clinical.

Nervous system education

Age-appropriate language so children understand what's happening in their body.

Breathwork & somatic tools

Simple practices that calm the body before the mind can catch up.

Children's yoga & movement

Movement-based regulation that's playful and physical.

Mindfulness for kids

Short, sensory practices children actually want to use.

Role-play & games

Skills are rehearsed, not just talked about.

Personalized coping plans

A toolkit your child takes into school, friendships and home.
