Reviewing the steps
Students will learn strategies to reduce their own anxious thoughts in everyday situations like schedule changes, test anxiety, needles at the doctor's office, meeting people, trying new things, etc.
I am an autism and sensory coach, helping Autistic teens and their families find and remove hidden barriers to success and build positive life experiences. One of those hidden barriers is often anxiety, which is why I've spent years helping my clients and students work with and reduce anxiety, so they can do the things they want to do.

I am Autistic, a highly sensitive person, have sensory processing differences, and live with chronic pain. It is my lived experience with these different ways of being in the world that led me to learning more about them and helping others. I am a trained Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach and a Professional Certified Coach. Prior to coaching professionally, I taught middle and high school, and remain a certified teacher.
This is designed for neurodivergent teens, including ASD autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, OCD, Tourettes, etc. by an Autistic and ADHD and Dyslexic adult who knows what's it's like.
