I get it, life can be stressful when you are going through major transitions.
As teens, you have a lot going on. College preparation is overwhelming and more competitive than ever.
Socially you are preparing to leave a core group of friends you have most likely had your entire life.
You are already struggling with procrastinating because between the number of tasks you have, time management issues, and wanting to enjoy your teenage years, it is hard to get anything done early.
And I am here to tell you...
Throughout school, you caught on quickly and learned fast. You are smart and a high achiever naturally. You don't need to practice your math or writing skills, you know you do well in these academic areas.
And while your teachers and the schools have done a great job giving you an excellent education, they didn't teach you how to cope with the stress that comes with being human.
This stress has started to create problems for you when it comes to time management and procrastination. You know it is a problem, but you don't know how to fix it.
Your mom has tried to help you learn some basic time management skills and put processes into place to "get things done sooner."
But nothing has worked so far. Both you and your parents really want to find a solution that gives you the lifetime skills you need.
Not just a temporary solution that doesn't help you learn how to manage the stress that comes with major life transitions - graduating high school, going to college, or starting a new job.

Hi, I'm Christine Kaplan
Teens amaze me. I’ve spent the last 26 years working with and living with teens.
Growing up, we always had a house full of energetic and sometimes struggling, teens. My Dad was the school Principal and therefore had plenty of vacation time. During the school year, Dad was the one we turned to for help studying for biology tests, writing reports on Jedediah Smith, and organizing our study time when we felt we couldn’t get it all done.
I followed in his footsteps, getting my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Oregon, (Go Ducks!), then continued my education in social work where I received my MSW from the University of Nevada, Reno.
My entire career has been focused on working with teens: from middle schools to high schools, from runaways to elite private schools, from cancer survivors to Ivy League colleges. I believe in the power of the teen spirit to survive and be the best versions of themselves.
...led me to continue my education throughout my career. I studied Mindfulness at UCLA, the Science of Happiness at Berkeley, as well as studying at Mindful Schools. With these tools, I have helped hundreds of teens manage their anxiety, find balance in their lives, and to create a clear vision for what they want for their lives.
I have seen teens transform by bringing more mindfulness into their lives. Being a part of this journey truly does warm my heart and allows me to feel more sunshine in the world – it's hopeful.
When a teen works with me, they can expect to live a positive life that they will enjoy and allows them to be better stewards to their community. I want them to live and grow in their community (family, friends, school, extracurriculars) which leads them to be well-rounded adults so they are set up for success in their future.
I want to help teens find a balance – having a fun childhood as well as being set up for success.
Teens want to succeed and feel confident. They want to have fun and be happy. I’ve been lucky to have helped hundreds of teens create positive relationships and achieve their goals. That’s fun.
Yes, I’m older and yes, I’m wiser. I’ve seen teens succeed when they’re given tools with support to understand themselves and set their goals. Let’s work together to watch our teens succeed and be happy.
