Strengthen Executive Function Skills — and Build a Stronger, More Organized Family Life

Strong executive function skills — like organization, time management, focus, and self-regulation — are critical for success in school and beyond.
Yet many students need more structured practice and support to fully develop these essential habits.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of coaching students and families in building executive function skills that lead to greater independence, confidence, and academic success. One truth has stood out: when families are actively involved in creating a supportive environment, the results are transformative.

That’s why I created FamCoach: Empower — a program designed to strengthen both student executive functioning and family systems through a combination of direct coaching and practical strategies. Together, we work to:

Help your child practice and strengthen key executive function skills through personalized coaching and guided activities.

Equip you with effective tools and routines to create a calmer, more organized, and goal-oriented home environment.

Foster an atmosphere where independence, confidence, and resilience can flourish naturally.

With FamCoach: Empower, you’ll gain the skills and support you need to lead your family with clarity, build routines that work, and empower your child to develop habits that will serve them for life.

You’re not just managing today’s challenges — you’re building a foundation for lifelong growth and success.
