In her own words
My non-profit work in several different fields has enabled me to meet and assist people in all walks of life. I became a coach to work with others - helping them to find their own inner light and the special gifts they possess. I want to empower people to create the lives they are meant to live by working from a small goal to get them on their way and moving to larger more far-reaching goals to put their lives on track. I am motivated by helping people to help themselves. I love the synergy created when interacting with a client and feeling their excitement when they discover how to creatively tackle a roadblock and approach life in a new way.

My coaching style
I am a people person at heart. I am curious and interested in all kinds of people and have a good understanding of where people are coming from. I like to really listen and get to know the person I am working with and let them lead in the direction they wish to go. Then I am there to help them find the tools they need to move forward. The co-creative process of working one on one with someone really gets me energized. I love it when the ‘aha’ moments occur and when a client wakes up to his or her own potential. My coaching style is to be fully present to my client and really feel their excitement as positive changes begin to occur in their life.

My ideal client
My ideal client is anyone who is motivated to better understand him or herself and move their life forward, even in very small ways. I want to work to help others find their place in life, work toward their goals, cheer them on in their successes and be there to support them and motivate them to still move forward when they feel stalled or let down.
