***********************************************************
Likely, you are here because you are seeking some sort of change in your life. Perhaps you want to create a healthier lifestyle, deepen your relationships, embark on a creative project, explore your purpose, change career paths, live more in alignment with your passions, fall in love...
Or, it could be that you don't know exactly why you're here or what you want. Maybe you just have this sense that you could be more fulfilled, happier, more at peace with yourself and your life—but you're not sure how to get there. Or, you know how to get there, but you keep stumbling on your way and you're not sure why.
Or, perhaps you're here for none of the above reasons—but you have a hunch that coaching could support you in whatever it is you're up to in life.
In any case, welcome!

Here's the scoop on coaching,
and my approach in particular:
Working with a coach can be a powerful and transformational experience. Coaching is an entirely different kind of conversation, an entirely unique relationship. It is not psychotherapy, traditional goal-setting, or like talking to a good friend. As useful as these avenues can be, coaching is something different.
So, what is it?
Coaching is a unique process of facilitated self-investigation. It is designed to bring about a new level of awareness that allows you to initiate, integrate and sustain positive change in your life. This process involves thoughtful questioning, self-observation, the creation & practice of new habits, and more—all designed to cultivate the desired results and lead you more and more into your flourishing life.
My coaching philosophy is that there is nothing wrong with you. You don't need to be fixed. In fact, it's likely you have a pretty great life already. Yet, you know you could be more deeply fulfilled. You know there are certain areas of your life that you'd like to change or improve. You know you could be flourishing more than you already are, even if you're not exactly sure what that would look like. This work is about creating openings, shifting perspectives, and discovering more and more of your authentic self.
As your coach, I will listen deeply to what you say and do not say. Coming from a belief that all lasting change must involve the whole person (not the intellect alone)—I will listen not only for content, but also for attitude, tone, and non-verbal 'language'. I will make observations about how you present yourself in the world, and help you uncover your blind spots—your ways of being and doing that you may not even be aware of but are nevertheless impacting your life. Together we will identify some of your underlying beliefs and see how they are serving–or not serving–you and your life. All this leads to new insights, broader perspectives, and the possibility for transformation.
