Life Coaching

If you are interested in working with me, feel free to contact me. I am only able to accept a limited number of clients at this time, but am happy to refer you to another coach if I do not have any new spots available at the time you contact me.

 

Philosophy, Experience, and Credentials

I help my clients create transformational change in their lives. I operate from the deep conviction that you are a naturally creative, resourceful, and whole person exactly as you are (even if you don’t feel that way right now!). My expertise is in facilitating a self-discovery process that allows you to access your deepest inner strength, heal your wounds, make changes you’ve been struggling to make, and live the way you long to live.

I use a variety of coaching methods, but a large part of my work is helping each client connect with and operate from his or her true self—the part of each of us that we are living from when we are at our absolute best; the part of us that can navigate life’s challenges with wisdom and peace, find joy and meaning in both difficult and relatively easy times, facilitate change with grace, and allow us to fulfill our life’s purpose.

Once you connect with and operate from your true self, many wonderful things become possible including (but certainly not limited to):

  • Releasing past wounds and hurts

  • Seeing clearly what decisions are wisest for your life

  • Strengthening your marriage and other relationships

  • Being the best parent you can be for your children

  • Being able to make the changes you’ve been struggling to make

  • Getting “unstuck” and moving forward in meaningful new ways

  • Becoming your own coach so that you can get back on track whenever you need to

When do people hire a coach?

There are many reasons to seek coaching, but here are a few examples of times when coaching can be particularly helpful:

  • You are feeling stuck: you can’t seem to move past something, can’t seem to reach an important goal, can’t seem to be who you really long to be, or find yourself in a holding pattern in life

  • You are undergoing a major change or life challenge and feel overwhelmed, confused, and/ or afraid

  • You are struggling with parenting and are longing to find ways to parent that make you feel joyful and strong and connected with your child(ren)

  • You feel you’ve lost touch with what brings you joy; you feel as if life has lost its “shine”

  • You feel as if you’ve lost touch with who you really are (or maybe you feel you’ve never truly discovered who you are)

  • You feel lost and unsure of what you want or what to do next in life

  • You find yourself filled with regrets and/ or worries and feel you need a new direction in your life

  • You are struggling in your relationships

  • You have tried traditional therapy and have not gotten what you need from it

  • You want to live your life in the most meaningful, powerful way possible
