From a parent:
“Ms. Carrier’s lessons were the perfect segue for my daughter to prepare for real life situations – for what she is bound to encounter in her future. It provided her with a preview of what it would feel like to be seen as a professional adult. This is an important aspect of life.”

build self-confidence, graduate, and pursue a meaningful career.”

Additional Family Communication Coaching:
Once I start working with teens, I often see gaps in communication between teens and parents. I offer additional coaching services for families that enable fresh, open conversations and empower teens to find healthy ways to speak up. I help families navigate those tricky topics and encourage structured, goal-oriented discussion. Typical engagements:
- 8 sessions, first weekly then every other week
- Dinner-table, non-confrontational discussion
- My role is advocate for your teen and I lead the discussion
- Goal-setting oriented discussion around topics I see most amiss in families including:
- Space
- Privacy
- Structure
- Boundaries
- Consistency
- Personal time
- Screen time
- Communication
