Coaching with me
RESULTS & GOALS
Start living the life you want today: You deserve to live the life that you want. It’s your responsibility and it’s all within your reach. Living a truly fulfilling life ripples out into the world allowing you to create your own positive change in the world.
Learn tools: Our work together will help you discover your own magic. We’ll both uncover your inherent wisdom and practice new skills. You will move forward with stronger tools to engage your challenges now and in the future. It’s like creating your own toolbox for life.
Reach your highest potential: Live your life to the fullest from a place of strength. Live with confidence and feel empowered to get unstuck and reach your dreams. Shed your beliefs and paradigms that keep you stuck so that you can thrive.
HOW I LIKE TO COACH
Targeted and Quick results: The fast paced life of today leaves us no time to do therapy over a series of years - this is a fast and targeted way to work. We work directly with concrete specific issues with the goal of creating rapid change. Change your life and fulfill your dreams by taking action now.
I use proven methods: We work in a highly structured research based model that is deeply infused with creativity. This allows an environment that is not too tight and not too loose -- this blend of comfort and tension creates change. I use proven strengths based methods to help boost confidence, support decision making, and achieve results.
It’s all about relationship: Change happens in relationship and in this relationship you are the number one priority. Our relationship allows you to achieve your dreams and goals that you may not be able to achieve on your own. Working together we uncover your strengths, life expertise, and explore the thoughts and actions that might be holding you back. I will hold you accountable within a relationship of trust, support, safety, and care.
It’s convenient: No issue is too big or too small! Geography and time is no obstacle. We work with your schedule either in person or via Skype or phone.

I am committed to helping clients find resources; explore difficulties and successes and the underlying emotions and issues in a supportive and inclusive environment; and look at their lives in larger contexts. I understand that human connection shapes our lives and without healthy relationships it is difficult to thrive. I bring my background in using a strengths-based perspective and humanistic approach allowing me to support clients in creating better communication with others and becoming more resilient, empowered and resourceful.
