As the fire horses gallop toward their goals with passion and purpose, let’s also remember to pace ourselves.

🏮Burn bright, not out.🏮

This year is all about drive, courage, and energy — but rest is part of the journey too.

Let’s ride forward with balance, focus, and self‑compassion. 🌙🪶

Summer is a great time not only to enjoy some down, and also to reflect and consider in what areas of your life you would like to improve.🌻

🛟 We specialize in helping people get ready for their new chapters of their life. 🛟

🏫 In particular, we have an extensive and successful experience with adolescents making the important transition from high school to college/work. Not only do students need to develop academic and time-management skills, but they are also required to use emotional management skills to handle the rigors and challenges of college life.

Our clients often leave with a tool box of strategies they can use and strive for their goals. 🧰🛠️

🧑‍🧒 Parents can also benefit from learning how to cope when their child goes to college. We have helped many parents deal with “empty nest syndrome.” You may find yourself missing the sounds of stomping feet running through the house and feeling anxious. While having a bittersweet feeling is expected, you can also talk through issues with us as you transition into the new chapter of your life. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒
