About me
I am a Transformational Coach, Educator, and Trainer specializing in Personal Empowerment, and Change Management. I put it in caps because, to me, it’s that integral. Perhaps the greatest tragedy in life is that, in spite of all the physical pain, obstacles, and limitations to which each of our lives is subject to some extent, it is often our own limited perspectives, hang ups, and fears that pose the greatest obstacles to our happiness – as they blind us to our ability to overcome our personal challenges.
​
I often conceptualize life (in general) as a journey or odyssey – one in which we may not necessarily end up where we thought we wanted to go, but if we continue to steer ourselves in the direction of our dreams and keep adjusting course toward our true north, we might just end up where we need to be. And maybe have some fantastic adventures along the way…
I am driven by a passion for helping my clients perceive the fantastic in what many of them see as their own mundane or even underwhelming realities – for helping them re-write the script that they tell themselves about themselves and their own abilities. For helping them access and leverage their innate, internal magic and overcome the obstacles that (for the moment) confound them.

HOW I LIKE TO COACH
No matter what you want to achieve, it all begins with you - with who you are right here, right now. So that no matter what you want from life – whether you have a concrete idea of what you would like to improve or are starting out fresh with a general desire for change but need clarity about what that change should entail - the coaching process has something to offer everyone. And that is exactly where I start.
All 1-on-1 packages begin with an introductory strategy session, where I work with clients to create a coaching plan tailored to their specific interests, support needs, and best learning modalities. Especially with clients looking for change management services, earlier sessions often center around goal exploration and creating an action plan including specific objectives to bring those goals to fruition.
Clients and I meet for 1-2 hours weekly/bi-weekly, where we discuss progress and insights since the previous session as well as emergent goal related issues, and strategically design next action steps to pave their way toward the future. Along the way, clients have available to them a range of assessments, creative activities, and skill building exercises – such as journal assignments, brainstorming sessions, practical role play, and more.
