What is Executive Function?
Simply put, it is the art of getting stuff done! Executive Function is a set of skills that help us manage our time, keep track of important information, and make plans and decisions at every stage of life. No one is born with these skills, but we are all born with the potential to develop them. Task initiation, persistence , and time management are all important aspects of executive function. By developing and practicing these skills, your teenager will have the tools necessary to reach their full potential.
I help teens find their way.
No matter which barriers stand in the way of a teen and his or her self-mastery, or how seemingly big they are, there is always a way through. My job as a coach is to help teens figure out the obstacles that are preventing them from moving forward, and guide them to discover their own unique path. I do that in three phases:
Establish: build rapport, create trust, and help them see the importance of building core life skills.
Explore: help give them a bird’s eye view of what’s working for them and what’s not. Their thoughts play an important role in self-monitoring.
Engineer: help them create an environment where they can establish their own internal and external controls. As they develop controls, positive habits will follow.

"Chris has been so important to our family. My son, who just entered high school, needed the organization and guidance of a coach. He was not going to listen to me and the way Chris communicates with his ADHD brain has been wonderful. I look forward to having him set up and organized for the rest of his high school career"
