Emotional Wellness & Mindset Coaching

for Children in Newbury, MA and Nearby North Shore and Southern NH Communities

I provide emotional wellness coaching and skill-based support for children, teens, and parents in and around Newburyport, MA, the North Shore, and the Southern New Hampshire Seacoast who are navigating anxiety, confidence challenges, big emotions, and school-related stress.

My work focuses on coaching rather than therapy, helping children and adolescents build emotional awareness, self-regulation skills, and healthy coping strategies they can use in everyday life—at home, at school, and in social situations. Through personalized, developmentally appropriate coaching, I support kids and teens in developing resilience, confidence, and practical tools for managing stress, transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

I also work closely with parents, offering guidance and strategies to help them better understand their child’s emotional needs and support positive change at home.

Many families searching for a child therapist in Newburyport are looking for support with emotional regulation, childhood anxiety, confidence-building, and big emotions. While I am not a licensed therapist, I offer emotional wellness coaching and parent guidance that can be used on its own or alongside child or adolescent therapy services.

With 24 years of experience as a classroom teacher, I have worked closely with children of all ages, teens, and their parents, supporting social-emotional development, school-related stress, and behavioral challenges in real-world settings. I am now a certified child, teen, and parent coach, providing skill-based emotional support, coping strategies for anxiety, and confidence coaching for families seeking emotional balance in their homes.

Support areas include:

  • Anxiety and worry in children

  • Emotional regulation and big feelings

  • Confidence and self-esteem

  • School stress and transitions

  • Social challenges and friendships

  • Overcoming fears and self-doubts

  • Parent coaching and support

As a North Shore educator and coach, I’ve been talking with kids every day for 24 years—listening to what they say and what they struggle to put into words. I understand the social emotional challenges children face today, and parents often tell me their kids feel comfortable with me quickly because I’m calm, positive, and easy to talk to.

I’m especially good at helping kids open up, name their feelings, and feel understood, even when talking about emotions feels hard. I focus on practical emotional skills that support real life at home and at school. Change doesn’t happen overnight—but with time, consistency, and the right support, meaningful growth is absolutely possible.
