More about thrive

With over 20 years of experience in education and specialized training in restorative practices, social and emotional learning, and trauma informed yoga, I believe the skills most directly affecting student success in the classroom are self-awareness, executive function, and emotional regulation.  

I founded Thrive Coaching to walk alongside teens and provide research-based supports as they develop skills to help them flourish and find joy both inside and outside the classroom. I hold Masters degrees from Lipscomb University and Middle Tennessee State University and professional certifications in Social and Emotional Learning from CASEL , restorative practices from the International Institute of Restorative Practices, and trauma-informed yoga from Breathe for Change. My areas of expertise include social and emotional regulation, student motivation and accountability, work completion planning, and helping students create actionable steps to reach their goals. 

We offer a range of coaching services, including weekly one-on-one coaching during the school year, group sessions focusing on organization and goal setting, teacher workshops, and parenting support groups. We look forward to adding individualized tutoring services and mindfulness yoga for teens and adults in Fall 2025.
