Big Transitions Require
More Than Willpower• Young adults are expected to step into new roles all at once, emotionally, socially, and practically. These transitions often come with steep expectations and little support.
• This period is high-stakes and high-growth. Trying to navigate it without a plan or guidance often leads to frustration.
• We walk alongside clients during this time of transition, creating space to practice, adjust, and grow into their roles.
Progress Involves
Peaks, Valleys, & Victories• Growth isn’t linear. There are ups, downs, pauses, and pivots.
• We proactively plan for life’s hard moments. Clients build toolkits, spot early signals, and activate support plans as soon as possible. Clients can then be met with structured support during moments of overwhelm.
• We meet clients where they are, encouraging independence when momentum is strong and providing direct support in challenging moments.
Everyone Benefits
from a Support Team• True independence includes knowing when to lean on others.
• Support makes challenges less isolating and successes more sustainable.
• Real progress comes with intentional support. It means having people you can turn to, knowing when to reach out, and finding the kind of help that makes a difference. It means being steadied in hard moments and encouraged toward what comes next.
Systems Weren't Build
with Everyone in Mind• Systems often expect one way of thinking and learning. This leaves many clients feeling misinterpreted, underestimated, or overlooked.
• The result? Frustration, missed opportunities, and a deep sense of not fitting in.
• We bridge this gap. We support clients as they navigate flawed systems, while honoring who they are and advocating for what they need.
Growth Begins with
Self-Understanding• Lasting growth begins with self-awareness. Understanding how you think, learn, and engage with the world is often the foundation for changing one's mindset, habits, or use of supports.
• We support clients with identifying what's getting in the way. With that clarity, clients and our team can create personalized plans and systems.
People Do Well
When They Can• Struggles are often misread as a lack of effort. In truth, challenges often stem from missing tools, unmet needs, or unclear expectations.
• Real progress comes when clients feel supported, capable, and understood.
• Rather than push with direct advice, we invite discovery. By asking the right questions, surfacing overlooked conversations, and exploring barriers and solutions together, we build the desire to change and the plan to make it happen.

What We Believe
Beliefs That Shape Our Services
My Journey
The Path That Led Me Here
My Transition into Young Adulthood.
Like many, my transition into adulthood felt overwhelming and without guidance. The support, structure, and guidance that I had received until high school felt like it "dropped off a cliff" upon high school graduation — right when I needed it the most.
This time of transition felt like everything was changing, all at once. Adjusting to the academic rigor of college, living independently for the first time, and building new friendships - all while being faced with long-term questions like "what do you want to do after graduation?".
I felt alone, both in my experience of the difficult transition and that I did not have anyone to turn to. Support services felt too general and mentorship was non-existent. I navigated through the transition with many low points and learning lessons.
Finding My Rhythm
My early college years were held together by a patchwork of self-made solutions. I pieced together what I needed as I went, learning from mistakes and adjusting course when things didn’t work. It was far from ideal, and certainly not efficient.
Along the way, I built organizational systems, developed lasting relationships, found a professional pathway that excited me, and gained the skills and confidence to direct my own future.
In retrospect, I know that with a different mix of circumstances, things could have easily tipped the other way. The progress I made was real, but it relied too much on grit, trial-and-error, and luck. That experience convinced me that no one should have to navigate this stage of life without clear, steady guidance.
Pursuing My Purpose
After building my skills and finding my footing in college, I set my sights on a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy—a profession dedicated to helping people achieve their most meaningful goals.
I realized this path would allow me to focus on supporting young adults through times of transition—the kind of guidance I had once needed but didn’t have. That understanding became my compass.
Since then, I’ve focused on building the skills, experiences, and credentials to offer the kind of steady support that every young adult would benefit from.
Refining & Applying My Expertise.
Over the past decade, I’ve applied my skills with intention—leading, managing, and building student support programs across higher education (disability services, student success programs) and private services (transition programming, nationwide college coaching, study abroad experiences) for neurodiverse and underserved students.
I’ve spent thousands of hours alongside students—listening, problem-solving, celebrating wins, and working through setbacks. Along the way, I’ve seen how the right structures, strategies, and relationships can quietly change the course of a life, mine included.
A New Chapter: NewBridge
Over the years, my work has taken many forms: helping students navigate college for the first time, guiding them through study abroad programs, coaching them toward independence, and being there in moments of uncertainty. Through it all, one truth has stayed constant—real change happens when support is personal, steady, and adaptable.
NewBridge Transition Coaching is simply the next step in the work I’ve been doing for years. It’s a place where I can keep showing up for students in the same way I once needed someone to show up for me.

What We Believe
Beliefs That Shape Our Services
Everyone Benefits from a Support Team
• True independence includes knowing when to lean on others.
• Support makes challenges less isolating and successes more sustainable.
• Real progress comes with intentional support. It means having people you can turn to, knowing when to reach out, and finding the kind of help that makes a difference. It means being steadied in hard moments and encouraged toward what comes next.
Growth Begins with Self-Understanding
• Lasting growth begins with self-awareness. Understanding how you think, learn, and engage with the world is often the foundation for changing one's mindset, habits, or use of supports.
• We support clients with identifying what's getting in the way. With that clarity, clients and our team can create personalized plans and systems.
People Do Well When They Can
• Struggles are often misread as a lack of effort. In truth, challenges often stem from missing tools, unmet needs, or unclear expectations.
• Real progress comes when clients feel supported, capable, and understood.
• Rather than push with direct advice, we invite discovery. By asking the right questions, surfacing overlooked conversations, and exploring barriers and solutions together, we build the desire to change and the plan to make it happen.
Progress Involves Peaks, Valleys, & Victories
• Growth isn’t linear. There are ups, downs, pauses, and pivots.
• We proactively plan for life’s hard moments. Clients build toolkits, spot early signals, and activate support plans as soon as possible. Clients can then be met with structured support during moments of overwhelm.
• We meet clients where they are, encouraging independence when momentum is strong and providing direct support in challenging moments.
Systems Weren't Built with Everyone in Mind
• Systems often expect one way of thinking and learning. This leaves many clients feeling misinterpreted, underestimated, or overlooked.
• The result? Frustration, missed opportunities, and a deep sense of not fitting in.
• We bridge this gap. We support clients as they navigate flawed systems, while honoring who they are and advocating for what they need.
Big Transitions Require More Than Willpower
• Young adults are expected to step into new roles all at once, emotionally, socially, and practically. These transitions often come with steep expectations and little support.
• This period is high-stakes and high-growth. Trying to navigate it without a plan or guidance often leads to frustration.
• We walk alongside clients during this time of transition, creating space to practice, adjust, and grow into their roles.

Over the past decade, I’ve applied my skills with intention—leading, managing, and building student support programs across higher education (disability services, student success programs) and private services (transition programming, nationwide college coaching, study abroad experiences) for neurodiverse and underserved students.
I’ve spent thousands of hours alongside students—listening, problem-solving, celebrating wins, and working through setbacks. Along the way, I’ve seen how the right structures, strategies, and relationships can quietly change the course of a life, mine included.
A New Chapter: NewBridge
Over the years, my work has taken many forms: helping students navigate college for the first time, guiding them through study abroad programs, coaching them toward independence, and being there in moments of uncertainty. Through it all, one truth has stayed constant—real change happens when support is personal, steady, and adaptable.
NewBridge Transition Coaching is simply the next step in the work I’ve been doing for years. It’s a place where I can keep showing up for students in the same way I once needed someone to show up for me.
My Transition into Adulthood.
Like many, my transition into adulthood felt overwhelming and without guidance. The support, structure, and guidance that I had received until high school felt like it "dropped off a cliff" upon high school graduation — right when I needed it the most.
This time of transition felt like everything was changing, all at once. Adjusting to the academic rigor of college, living independently for the first time, and building new friendships - all while being faced with long-term questions like "what do you want to do after graduation?".
I felt alone, both in my experience of the difficult transition and that I did not have anyone to turn to. Support services felt too general and mentorship was non-existent. I navigated through the transition with many low points and learning lessons.
Finding My Rhythm.
My early college years were held together by a patchwork of self-made solutions. I pieced together what I needed as I went, learning from mistakes and adjusting course when things didn’t work. It was far from ideal, and certainly not efficient.
Along the way, I built organizational systems, developed lasting relationships, found a professional pathway that excited me, and gained the skills and confidence to direct my own future.
In retrospect, I know that with a different mix of circumstances, things could have easily tipped the other way. The progress I made was real, but it relied too much on grit, trial-and-error, and luck. That experience convinced me that no one should have to navigate this stage of life without clear, steady guidance.
Pursuing My Purpose.
After building my skills and finding my footing in college, I set my sights on a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy—a profession dedicated to helping people achieve their most meaningful goals.
I realized this path would allow me to focus on supporting young adults through times of transition—the kind of guidance I had once needed but didn’t have. That understanding became my compass.

I’ve spent thousands of hours alongside students—listening, problem-solving, celebrating wins, and working through setbacks. Along the way, I’ve seen how the right structures, strategies, and relationships can quietly change the course of a life, mine included.
A New Chapter: NewBridge
Over the years, my work has taken many forms: helping students navigate college for the first time, guiding them through study abroad programs, coaching them toward independence, and being there in moments of uncertainty. Through it all, one truth has stayed constant—real change happens when support is personal, steady, and adaptable.
NewBridge Transition Coaching is simply the next step in the work I’ve been doing for years. It’s a place where I can keep showing up for students in the same way I once needed someone to show up for me.
What We Believe
Beliefs That Shape Our Services
Progress Involves Peaks, Valleys, & Victories
• Growth isn’t linear. There are ups, downs, pauses, and pivots.
• We proactively plan for life’s hard moments. Clients build toolkits, spot early signals, and activate support plans as soon as possible. Clients can then be met with structured support during moments of overwhelm.
• We meet clients where they are, encouraging independence when momentum is strong and providing direct support in challenging moments.
Growth Begins with Self-Understanding
• Lasting growth begins with self-awareness. Understanding how you think, learn, and engage with the world is often the foundation for changing one's mindset, habits, or use of supports.
• We support clients with identifying what's getting in the way. With that clarity, clients and our team can create personalized plans and systems.
Systems Weren't Built with Everyone in Mind
• Systems often expect one way of thinking and learning. This leaves many clients feeling misinterpreted, underestimated, or overlooked.
• The result? Frustration, missed opportunities, and a deep sense of not fitting in.
• We bridge this gap. We support clients as they navigate flawed systems, while honoring who they are and advocating for what they need.
Big Transitions Require More Than Willpower
• Young adults are expected to step into new roles all at once, emotionally, socially, and practically. These transitions often come with steep expectations and little support.
• This period is high-stakes and high-growth. Trying to navigate it without a plan or guidance often leads to frustration.
• We walk alongside clients during this time of transition, creating space to practice, adjust, and grow into their roles.
People Do Well When They Can
• Struggles are often misread as a lack of effort. In truth, challenges often stem from missing tools, unmet needs, or unclear expectations.
• Real progress comes when clients feel supported, capable, and understood.
• Rather than push with direct advice, we invite discovery. By asking the right questions, surfacing overlooked conversations, and exploring barriers and solutions together, we build the desire to change and the plan to make it happen.
Everyone Benefits from a Support Team
• True independence includes knowing when to lean on others.
• Support makes challenges less isolating and successes more sustainable.
• Real progress comes with intentional support. It means having people you can turn to, knowing when to reach out, and finding the kind of help that makes a difference. It means being steadied in hard moments and encouraged toward what comes next.
