Your Strategist, Your Friend

As I thought about what training I needed, nothing felt quite right. I could get more

degrees, but I have a bachelor's and master's degree and that isn't what made me

successful. I could get certifications to learn someone else's method of coaching,

but then I wouldn't be authentically providing the type of coaching that I have found

to be effective. So, I thought about the type of feedback I receive from those who

have sought my assistance and following are some of the key themes.

Listened without judgment.
Offered empathy and accountability.
Encouraged and supported.
Provided tools and resources.

I believe my effectiveness has been that I don't profess to be an expert in any one area, instead I know from personal and professional experience how to recognize pain. I know people and I know how to help lead them gently back to themselves where their authentic answers lie, and when there is complex trauma that needs more advanced support, I will provide referrals to trusted mental health professionals.

I lived more than 50 years in my own pain, masking it with coping strategies that ruined my relationships and through a long healing process I've had the courage to recognize all the ways I perpetuated my own misery so it's easy for me to recognize it in others.

I want you to see me as a friend, someone who cares about you as a human being, and someone who challenges you to think because I want the best for you and your relationships. You set the goal and the pace, and I will ask you tough questions bringing your attention back to yourself and teach you the foundational concepts that will allow you to transform your own life.

Following is feedback from actual clients who have benefitted from working with me.

Male Perfectionist

"Thank you so much for this! I read it when you sent it, and it honestly made a huge difference in how I tackled the day. Things have gotten a lot less stressful, but I was just at that point I could barely hang on to the last thread of the rope. There's still a lot going on and just as busy but much more manageable. Once I got myself to shut up on what I was thinking and perceiving that weren't actually the real facts of what was going on, I could move forward."
