Hi, I'm Lindsay!

Your Expert in Teen Confidence and Parenting Teens with Connection.

I help teens who...

Want to raise their hand in class, but as their heart starts thumping, they hold back, and then continue to struggle to figure out the concepts and learn the way they want to
Desire to reach out to someone from school to hang out, but feel like they'll say the wrong thing, so they just sit at home playing video games
Commit to getting their English essay done, but when they hear a notification on their phone, end up going down a trail of funny YouTube videos for an hour, once again creating this feeling of being behind and almost constant anxiety about school
Say no to trying out for the basketball team or school play because they know they'll mess up and then have to suffer the flood of unkind thoughts about themselves and off hand remarks from others.
Feel so depressed or anxious some days that they just can’t get to school or they do and then come home and hide.
If any of this sounds like your teen, learn more about coaching here.

Imagine that:

You trusted that even though your teen is having a “bad” day, it doesn’t mean that you messed up or even that they have.
No matter what your teen says or does, you have the confidence to know what to say and not freak out
You are able to let your teen know that you see and hear them, no matter how anxious or depressed they seem.
You develop a way to relate with your teen so they don’t feel like they have to prove themselves to be accepted by you.

That is a Rooted Relationship!
