ABOUT SUZETTE
In my sessions, I offer youth and families a powerful interaction that fosters within each individual a deepened self-awareness and self-understanding. They will also learn tangible tools that can help them overcome their challenges, embrace themselves, and achieve their goals. Some of my specialties, among others, include helping with academic and social anxiety, organization, negative feelings about self, choices around friendships and relationships, formation of healthy personal boundaries, decision-making around the future, formation of life goals, improved communication, improved coping skills, and development of increased sense of personal responsibility.
Through the trusted and unique coaching relationship, I will listen, advise, inform, challenge, and support youth to know and honor themselves, overcome obstacles, identify and achieve their goals, and grow into successful, happy and confident young adults.
