WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?

Although my background involves years as a counselor, my work is now focusing on life coaching, and I love it. Life coaching is different from therapy. It addresses mental health issues only as part of the context of a person's life. If mental health issues are causing distress or functional difficulties, you will receive a referral to a licensed mental health professional to help you with those difficulties.  A life coach is not problem-oriented, not looking into the past, but is focused on the present moment and toward the future. The present moment is the only moment from which we can begin to move toward our goal, which is situated in the future. Our goal (s) is our own vision for our life. It may be internal as in "I would like to stop over-thinking and be peaceful." It may be external as in "I would like to work in a job that is meaningful to me."  A life coach assists you in establishing goals, discovering strengths you may not know you have; assessing present obstacles, developing your own plan to move toward your personal or professional goals, and learning to listen to your own deep inner wisdom which is beyond fears and beyond the definitions of the past.

Embrace Life’s Challenges

Sometimes, it seems as if life just has it in for us and we can never catch a break. In reality, there will always be moments we have little to no control over but, what we can always control is how we react to those moments. Sometimes we need to attain specific interpersonal skills to move forward. We may need to increase our understanding of emotions, or our communication skills, or our stress management skills, etc. in order to enhance the journey forward.  To this aim, I offer both online and in-person classes.

I offer a variety of coaching services to help you move past the obstacles in your life. I will help you identify your personal values, strengths, and abilities in support of your personal and professional goals. Life Coaching can be one of the keys to a happier, healthier life. My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling life. After several Life Coaching sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. Contact me to see how I can help you develop different perspectives and achieve the outcomes you’re striving for.

I offer classes online for behavioral health professionals and others. These classes focus on specific client-centered best practice brief strategic techniques and approaches proven effective in rapport building, cultivating motivation, and present moment solution-focused change. My hope is these classes will assist and inspire you to achieve more of your personal and professional goals. Get in touch today for a list of upcoming classes.

How do we cultivate living in the present moment when our minds tend to pull us into the past or plummet us into the future. We often live in those two places, and not in the present moment where we are. Much of our training reinforces this past or future orientation. But life happens in the present moment, love happens, inspiration happens. How do we remain in, and experience the gifts of the present moment where we are?
These groups are designed to cultivate the natural ability to show up and be present to life, to ourselves, to each other, and to the Spirit of life...
