Hi, I’m Josh

As a lifelong school counselor, I've worked with thousands of young people and seen them and their families through some of the hardest moments of their lives. I've also spent the last decade leading mindfulness workshops for schools, businesses and individuals.

What I've learned, more than anything else, is this: young adults don't need someone to fix them. They need someone to listen — really listen — ask the right questions, and then help them take one manageable step forward. And then another.

That's what I do at Next Chapter.

I started this practice because I kept seeing smart, capable, genuinely wonderful young people who were stuck. Not because they lacked potential, but because the transition out of school is disorienting in ways nobody prepares you for. The structure vanishes. The social life reshuffles. The path forward feels anything but clear.

I know how to meet kids where they are. I know how to get them talking. And I know how to help them build the confidence — through small, real, achievable wins — to believe they can handle what's ahead.

Let's Talk

Feeling Stuck? Overwhelmed? Lost at sea?

We offer individualized plans to help you move on to the next chapter in your life

Life Coaching

Clarify who you are, what matters to you, and find the direction you want to take your life. For young adults who feel overwhelmed by the big picture, the first job is breaking it down. Josh works with each client to identify what they actually want, where they're getting stuck, and what a realistic, manageable path forward looks like. This isn't a generic roadmap — it's a plan built specifically around them.

Career Coaching

Get your life unstuck with a clear, actionable plan involving structure, accountability, and positivity. Josh helps young adults tackle the broader stuff: building a social life after college, developing daily structure, taking care of themselves physically and emotionally, and figuring out who they are now that the old context is gone.

Executive Functioning

Start building a career path that aligns with your strengths, interests, values, and long-term goals. Whether it's figuring out what kind of work feels meaningful, navigating a job search, or deciding between grad school and jumping into the workforce — Josh has spent decades helping young people think through these questions clearly and practically.

How It Works:

Helping young adults navigate the transition to independent adulthood

  1. Book a free consultation. Most engagements begin with a call or meeting with the young adult as well as their parents where Josh listens, learns about the situation, and talks through what working together might look like.

  2. Get to know each other. The first session is simply to get to know each other and start building trust. Josh provides a safe, non-judgemental space for young adults to be heard and understood.

  3. Build a game plan. Together, Josh and the young adult identify goals, pinpoint what's getting in the way, and map out a set of small, achievable steps to get things moving.

  4. Start moving forward. Step-by-step, Josh will work with the young adult to tackle the tasks in their plan, providing structure, support and encouragement along the way.

  5. Maintain momentum. Weekly check-ins, progress reviews, and having honest conversations to keep the young adult accountable.
