Learn More About Me
Coaching is a transformational journey of self-discovery and growth. As a coach, I partner with you to explore your dreams, goals, and ambitions, fostering increased self-awareness and facilitating meaningful change in your life.
For over 40 years, I have assisted people in moving from challenging circumstances to becoming the individuals they aspire to be. I feel blessed to be part of countless journeys toward ultimate personal development and becoming the best version of oneself. My mission is to continue to help clients unlock their potential and empower their success.
​
Many clients seek coaching to achieve greater happiness and fulfillment. Our work together will use your strengths and explore the obstacles that hinder your progress—old patterns, a lack of fulfillment, self-judgment, or behaviors that undermine your self-esteem. Through coaching, we identify and remove impediments to living a happy and fulfilling life.
​
I bring authenticity, genuineness, empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard to our sessions. These qualities foster a healthy connection that accelerates progress toward goals. My approach is empathic and supportive, providing encouragement, guidance, and accountability. The acceptance and positive regard you experience in coaching will eventually become internalized, leading to self-acceptance and a positive view of yourself.
​
You are the true architect of your healing and growth; I am here to facilitate that process. Together, we will explore your strengths, challenges, and self-sabotaging patterns, finding solutions that work for you. I assist you in identifying, developing, and mobilizing your resources and developing new skills as needed to successfully meet life’s challenges in a healthy and functional manner.
​
Throughout my career, I have authored numerous articles, e-books, and a Couples Communication Exercise, developed therapeutic programs, conducted workshops and in-service training, and served as a valuable community resource.
I offer client-centered, collaborative, solution-focused guidance, support, practical feedback, and directed growth experiences. I create a supportive, accepting environment where you can explore yourself with openness and self-acceptance. Self-judgment stifles exploration. By maintaining a client-centered approach, I help you become the empowered, integrated, and fully functioning person you aspire to be.
​
Part of our work may involve identifying and transforming self-defeating patterns that no longer serve you. Understanding how and why you perpetuate negative behaviors enables you to take the steps necessary to change your life. You determine the direction, depth, scope, and time-frame of coaching. My role is to help you find your inner strength and resources, and I respect each person’s religious and spiritual beliefs, incorporating them into the coaching process whenever appropriate. Exploring your value system is encouraged to help inform your goal development.
​
I hope to assist you on this journey of self-discovery. I will be present, non-judgmental, encouraging, and active as you chart your self-determined path. This self-exploration journey aims to increase your self-understanding. I am not the expert on your life—you are. You hold the questions and answers about your life. My role is to help you discover them. Through this process, we will flesh out your goals into actionable plans, and you will take the steps necessary to achieve them.
​
Change can be daunting, but stepping outside your comfort zone becomes more manageable with a guide or coach. Often, discomfort with an outgrown comfort zone can be a powerful motivator for change. I use a strengths-based model to help you find positive solutions to issues and maximize your strengths. I aim to help you make well-thought-out decisions and hold yourself accountable.
​
I am excited to participate in your journey toward becoming the best version of yourself. Together, we can journey towards your most fulfilling and empowered self.

Coaching, Consultation, and Counseling: Know the Differences
Counseling, consultation, and coaching exhibit commonalities while also presenting distinct differences. Counseling and psychotherapy typically center on the assumption of a "pathological" condition or the presence of an "illness." Treatment of diagnosed health issues (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, etc.) are covered by health insurance because treatment for the specific health issue is "medically necessary" for the individual's well-being.
​
In contrast, consultation and coaching do not presuppose the existence of pathology or a mental health condition requiring "treatment." Consultation involves a client utilizing a professional's knowledge and expertise to address a specific problem or issue. Consultation can consist of a single session or extend to multiple sessions, depending on the complexity of the matter at hand. Coaching is a collaborative effort that unfolds over a series of sessions, in which the client takes the lead in identifying their own goals and life objectives. By working together to identify and overcome obstacles, the coach provides guidance, support, encouragement, and professional expertise to assist the client in aligning their goals with their values. Importantly, coaching clients have the autonomy to define the session's purpose, content, and the number of sessions they desire, and they retain the right to terminate the coaching relationship at any point.
