Coaching college students to find clarity and take action in school & life
Sound familiar?
You want to make the most of college while building toward what comes after. Between classes, clubs, jobs, friends, and family, everything pulls at once, and some days you can't tell what comes first. Or you know what you want and still feel stuck.
Maybe there's a conversation you keep putting off or something you keep saying “yes” to when you actually want to say “no.” You may have something you want to start that hasn't got past the idea, and you'd love a partner in making it a reality.
How coaching helps
College is where you come into your own, with bigger decisions that are yours to make. Coaching gives you a confidential space to:
Find Clarity
Untangle what's pulling at you and get clear on what to do: what to prioritize and what to choose.
Take Action
Make a plan you'll act on. Grow confident in your decisions and ability to follow through.
What We Might Work On
Your focus may be academic, but we look at your whole life, because your academics and your social life support each other.
Yourself
Stress, burnout, and energy: easing the pressure, noticing what energizes or drains you, and finding your flow*
Inner blocks and setbacks: working through the doubts and fears that keep you from starting, and recovering when a plan falls through
Commitments: owning your "yes" by owning your "no"
Your relationships
Friendship and belonging: finding your people, and making, keeping, and repairing the friendships that last long after college
Family: keeping family bonds strong as you grow into yourself
Challenging conversations: setting boundaries and saying what's true with love
Your direction
Direction and purpose: using your values, interests, and strengths to choose classes and a major that fit you, explore careers, and find what feels meaningful
Projects: turning assignments, free time, and school breaks into work that builds your resume and tests your interests
*Coaching is separate from therapy, tutoring, and academic advising; your advisor tracks your graduation requirements. If a concern falls outside the scope of coaching, I will refer you to a licensed mental health professional.
How Coaching Works
Client led, coach structured
You decide what we work on. I bring the structure and the questions. I believe you already have the answers you're looking for, and my job is to help you find them.
In each session
You bring a goal. If all you know is that you're overwhelmed, we start by clarifying it.
We define success by asking, "How will we know you've got there?"
You leave with next steps. I draw on my project management background to help you design actions you can take right away.
We build in accountability, so each commitment has a way of getting done.

Hi, I’m Casey!
I'm a Certified Professional Coach by iPEC, a former Engineering Project Manager at Apple, Dartmouth College Engineering Science grad, mom, entrepreneur, systems thinker, and creative.
In 2020, I founded KC's Adventure Boxes: a company that sold a therapeutic activity box I designed for kids facing serious health challenges. I recount the story of how this incredibly meaningful product came to be in my TEDxTalk: "Choose Ideas that Fit You." I most recently opened my own Etsy shop as an experiment in selling interactive invitations and other products I design.
I bring concept mapping and systems thinking to my coaching as a way to help visual clients see the way the different parts of their life connect and how their thoughts, feelings, and actions flow.
I believe the truth is always kind—if it doesn't feel kind towards yourself or another person, you haven't gotten to the truth yet. My job is to help you find yours, with an open heart.
