Hi there! My name is Emily, and I am so excited that you're here. I am a soon to graduate university student studying psychology with plans to pursue a degree in clinical mental health counseling. I am deeply passionate about education, mental health, and equipping young people with the tools they need to feel calm, confident, and successful in the face of new challenges. We live in a fast-paced word and school is no exception. It is very common for students to feel overwhelmed by academics, and it's even more common for this to impact every area of their lives, from stress to sleep to relationships. I consider it an honor to team up with students to help them build habits and routines to decrease stress and feel better. I work with each student individually to get to know them, their strengths and struggles, and collaborate to come up with strategies and systems that work for them. I've worked an English tutor and academic coach for the past three years, which has honed my toolbox of executive functioning strategies. Additionally, I have over a year of volunteer experience on mental health crisis hotlines, an experience that has taught me active listening, motivational interviewing, and empathy. Although Coachbit cannot replace mental health care, I consider it a particular joy to work with students who might be struggling with anxiety and depression. Mental health challenges can have a huge impact on our ability to be successful in school. In collaboration with outside mental health treatment, I team up with students to support them in their academic journey and reach their dreams. I am a trained and certified yoga and meditation instructor, as well as a trained conflict resolution mediator. In my free time, I love reading, watching sitcoms, baking, and spending time with friends. I can't wait to get to know you and get started!
