I have 10 years previously teaching special needs children and 12+ years of experience as a mental health social worker working with families, school aged children and adults. My training includes a BA degree in Psychology from the University of Toledo and Master of Social Work Degree from Youngstown State University. I am transitioning from the clinical mental health model to a coaching model to help more clients.
Previous work with clients included trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy techniques, client centered and solution focused therapy techniques, mindfulness for stress reduction, motivational interviewing. I discriminate by religion, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. I am an English speaker and would have to limit clients fluent in English so that each client's needs and preferences are clearly understood. I value the transformational change that can be seen in clients who take an active interest in growth for themselves.
Everyone has a personal journey in life. My journey began as the youngest child born to parents who were both the first college educated members of their families. I have a deep and heavy bag of strategies to help people find their inner strengths, some of those strategies are subtle and others are blunt to save time. Whatever your communication style and preference is will determine the structure of your coaching plan. No two clients are alike, and I do not cookie-cutter my treatment planning as each person has unique gifts and challenges to overcome. I look forward to meeting you on your level and helping you to achieve what it is you truly want in this life’s moment.
In the transformational life coaching sessions each client will take a deep dive into life patterns and areas that you wish to seek support or guidance in. As I am no longer utilizing my clinical license, I cannot offer clinical services due to laws that bind, yet I can utilize all of my previous knowledge from that clinical training to assist you in the sharing my knowledge of the following areas motivational interviewing, client centered and solution focused practices, neurobiology, neuroplasticity, emotional freedom techniques (EFT), tapping, the benefits of silent retreats, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy strategies, cognitive behavior strategies ect. Utilizing the strategies preferred by the client on the topic preferred by the client a structured wellness plan will be co-created to provide benchmarks of growth along the way. This requires a minimum of 3 months or more commitment to participation in services.
In stress reduction coaching sessions, you as the client can address a traumatic life event or current barrier preventing you from feeling at peace in the present moment. This can be compared to crisis management as you will present the situation that is in a state of crisis to you and seek support and guidance on a short-term basis to overcome the immediate life hurdles in a triage format of the most serious first. Each client will be the guide on how long or short each session will be in duration is to take place and how much support they feel they need. This service is variable in time frame as it is my hope that all of your crisis experiences be short lived, and this can be booked one session at a time. If engaging in stressful life event coaching a safety plan will be created to ensure that you are able to get the help you need if the crisis escalates to impact your safety or the safety of others.
In relationship coaching sessions, an identified client will have an initial session by themselves to address concern areas that they wish to seek assistance with. Continuing sessions will be with relationship partners, family or friends in which there is a communication breakdown or conflicts among them. In the group sessions the clients must agree to a respectful and courteous interaction to avoid escalating rather than helping the situations. My role as coach is not to take anyone’s side but to be a mediator and observer to note patterns that are taking place unconsciously by all involved parties to create a plan for growth in the relationship. This would require a longer-term engagement and requires a minimum of 1 month or more commitment to participation in services.
