Work With Me

What to expect when working with me

I do these steps prescriptively and intuitively. I often fold these in with other tools in the work.

I act as a non-shaming accountability partner for students who need it. My texts regularly include, “Gentle nudge. Did you do ____? If not, how can I support you?”

Without these basic ways to regulate the brain, mood, and hormones, no other Executive Function skills can happen. I concentrate on this foundational work first. It usually takes 2-3 weeks to regulate fully.
1. Sleep: consistent bed and wake up?
2. Movement: gentle at first (does not have to be cardio)--walking, yoga
3. Water: Are we dehydrated? how many ounces per day?
4. Fuel Foods: enough protein, veggies? At regular intervals?
5. Mindfulness practice: thought downloads (a form of journaling), meditation?
Using a student’s observational Watcher self, I have students fill out or audio in real time a time audit activity so that they can reliably answer the questions, "Where does my time go? Is it smoking weed and scrolling on social media? Netflix?"
Short sprints of activity (using a timer for 6 minute, 12 minute, 20 minute intervals) to clean, get dishes done, move around, tidy one’s work space, do classwork, answer emails, reflect on the day, etc.
I start each live one-on-one session asking clients to give me FIVE WINS.
Pride Pong is like ping pong for our wins. I ask students to report out what is going well instead of what is wrong. The primitive brain loves to point out how we are shit/losers.
I partner with students with great apps that I help students set up a budget. Helping students create (and keep) a budget. Many students live at home and long to move out so they hope to create more independence for themselves and get moving, she will need to create a budget and save.
I partner with students to help them figure out best how to honor their future selves by planning their day, week and month. Google calendar? Paper calendar? A mix of both or none? We uncover the system that works best for students.
