Hi there. I’m Annie.
And I’m a Teen Coach.
Since 2014, I've worked with thousands of teens and their parents, both inside and outside of the school system. My mission is to empower our youth to become strong, confident leaders and to have a successful adolescent experience.
Programs for:
Do you ever worry that your teen:
Prioritizes others’ opinions over their own thoughts and feelings, leaving their own needs neglected?
Is overly critical of themselves in academics and sports, lacking self-compassion when they stumble?
Doesn’t see themselves in the same light that you see them, recognizing their incredible potential?
Struggles with overwhelming emotions that you’ve tried to support them through with various strategies and no success?
Is overly influence by social media and fear what might be happening behind their screens?
Has big questions regarding their life purpose, future, faith, and/or death and you realize that these topics weren’t covered in the parenting books you read 10+ years ago?
That’s why I developed this proven 8-Week Program that teaches pre-teens and teens to turn inward for self-discovery and establish greater self-worth, despite their daily wins and losses.
My program equips teens with tools and resources to cultivate confidence and navigate adolescence with empowerment.
I’m Doing What I Believe in as a Parent
I’m a NYS Certified Learning Specialist with a decade-long teaching career focused on students diagnosed with mental health concerns.
I’m also a mom of two amazing children who wants the same thing for my children as any loving parent—for them to be happy and to find success.
My years in the classroom taught me something important. The students who struggled the most all had one thing in common: they weren’t receiving support for their mental or emotional well-being until they had a “problem” that needed to be addressed. I wanted to get them tools to use before they needed them.
So I walked away from the classroom and my secure path to a pension to follow my truth and make a greater impact on the well-being of students by becoming a Teen Coach.
As challenging as adolescence is, this time can also be a spiritual awakening.
There are so many questions being asked about the Self, their place in the world, their purpose in the world, their ability or inability to achieve goals—which can feel really lonely and isolating.
The Empowered Teen Program offers support and guidance to construct a positive relationship to self and instill healthy mindset patterns.
Looking for on-site school support?
I work with schools on Long Island to customize programs unique to your schools needs utilizing Title IV funding where possible.
