Why Coaching?
I believe that connection, mentorship, and a feeling of belonging and being heard are essential for men. I've been a teacher for over twenty years, a sports coach, and I'm a Certified Youth Resilience Coach and a Certified Parent Coach. I support adolescent boys and men in gaining deeper self-awareness, building self worth, contending with stress, and reaching their goals. I also support parents in reclaiming their relationships with their children.
Supporting Men
My own experience of being supported by men, whether friends, mentors, coaches, or counselors, has been profoundly helpful. Today, adolescent boys and men need support as they grapple with identity and attempt to find purpose in a rapidly changing world where traditional roles are less and less clear. They may be dealing with pressures to succeed academically, professionally and socially. In our fast-paced society this can lead to burnout, stress and feelings of inadequacy. Adolescent boys and men struggle with traditional notions of masculinity. Many of the traditional values attached to the masculine can be limiting and harmful, leading to difficulties in expressing emotions, reaching out for help, or showing vulnerability. Reliance and even addiction to substances, technology, and pornography are real and widespread issues that today's men must confront as they find their way
