How Does Coaching Work?

Your first call is always free. Typically, we speak with both parents and student to learn more about your struggles and goals.

We have a variety of coaching plans to fit your needs. Once we select the best plan for you, we'll sign a coaching agreement that outlines how we'll partner together.

Now we get to the good stuff! You'll partner with Lori to navigate the struggles and reach for the goals you identified in your consultation.

Different from traditional therapy, collegiate executive function coaching, and stress management life-coaching can help students move through the overwhelm, demands, and pressures of college life with sustainable strategies, systems, habits, and exercises that build the skills necessary to thrive.

Coaching is a co-creative, 1:1 process where a professional coach partners with and empowers the student to create structure, pursue goals, and form sustainable habits. Both coach and student play active roles as we connect, collaborate, and navigate your needs and ambitions. ​Between my coaching and mental health expertise, and your clear vision of personal success, we will make a dynamite team. ​

Our process is highly personal and supports, moves, and engages the student in self-management practices that build and sustain success in every area of college life, not just academics. Personal and academic success are our ultimate goals in coaching. Together, we design the best methods, practices, habits, exercises, beliefs, and actions to make this happen.
It all begins with your free consultation.

About me

​Hi there! I'm Lori. Since 2017, I have partnered with high school and college students across the country to reach calm and emotional composure in the midst of personal and academic chaos. With a background rooted in mental health, I really like helping students not only identify their strengths, values, and passions, but to help them *use these personal qualities as the primary vehicle for moving through daily challenges.

I was once the exact college student, with the exact same struggles, that I now have the privilege of coaching young people through. 

Foremost, I am an advocate for student mental health and overall wellness. I am a strong proponent of keeping a school life-fun balance as a busy college student. To me, when you feel in control of your life in a healthy, productive way, your mental health becomes both the foundation and catalyst for your academic success.

My goal is to help your student not just survive, but thrive, in college and beyond.
