Executive Function Coaching
If you're watching your teenager or young adult struggle to get started — and wondering why — I can help.

With 16 years of experience in schools, private clinics, and my own practice, I partner with young people and families to build the awareness and structure that makes school and life feel less like a constant uphill battle.
Many of the families I work with share the same puzzling experience: their teenager or young adult has every tool and reminder available — and still can't seem to get traction. That's exactly where I come in — figuring out what's getting in the way and building something that actually fits.
Who I Work With
The students and young adults I work with don't all look the same. Some have a diagnosis, some don't. Some are struggling academically, others are managing fine on the outside but exhausted on the inside. What they have in common is that something isn't quite clicking — and they're ready to figure out why.
What My Clients Say
For 7 years, Sandy has played an essential role in guiding and supporting my daughter, who has learning differences and ADHD — through undergraduate and graduate school applications. Sandy's coaching has given my daughter the gift of increased confidence in herself. She takes pride in the essays she wrote and her vision for the future, and she will be attending one of her top choices for graduate school in the fall
Karin, Parent
“Sandy brings a positivity to getting organized and planning, noticing what's working and what's not, and course-correcting as needed—something that's hard for me as a parent to muster amidst my worry. She exudes confidence that one can do anything and rise to any challenge. My high school junior responds so well to Sandy's reflection questions and thoughtful suggestions that I try to note how she does it!”
Andrea, Parent
