We work with individuals who desire too rebuild or transform their lives using their own personal values, passions, strengths, and desires. Although counseling and life coaching are different services with different rate structures, each is designed to improve and enhance people's lives. Our job is to engage you in a productive conversation that will help you see the things you can do to make things better for yourself. We help you gain awareness of your patterns, assumptions and attitudes and encourage you to find better ways to make progress towards your goals. The end result of our work together will leave you more self confident, clear, and open to life’s many inviting possibilities.
What is Coaching?
Personal coaching is a collaborative relationship between coach and client with the intent of making the client’s dreams become a reality. The focus is on helping clients gain clarity, envision an attainable future, set goals, and create a plan of action to achieve the set goals. A coach asks poignant questions designed to help the client search within themselves for their own unique answers. A coach gives homework assignments designed to bring about new insights and understandings about their lives and future goals. A coach will hold the client accountable for reaching their dreams thus moving them forward at a faster pace than most people achieve on their own.
How does the coaching relationship work?
The client-coaching relationship consists of regular coaching sessions either in person or via telephone. These sessions are supported by emails and personal growth exercises on an ongoing basis. Each of my client relationship is different. it is up to you to decide how our relationship could be structured to maximize your results. We begin with an assessment of what you want to accomplish through coaching, what challenges you are facing and what your vision is for your life. We then work together to explore the possibilities and structure an outline that works to help you overcome fears and challenges and to reach more than you ever have before.
What is Counseling?
Counseling and psychotherapy are tools you can use to help you through difficult and challenging times. If you are experiencing sadness, anxiety, the effects of addictions or the pain of a broken relationship, chances are you could benefit from speaking with a professional counselor or psychotherapist.
Essentially, Counseling is a series of conversations that are designed to have you look at situations from a new vantage point. With a broader perspective you will be more able to understand and see things as they are. When this happens you feel better.
We work with individuals, couples and families to help them gain insight and improve their overall functioning. Through talk therapy and group therapy you will be challenged to engage yourself in a nurturing process that leads to the alleviation of your symptoms and, ultimately, healing.
These are some of the areas that I focus on:
Depression
Anxiety
Relationship struggles
Grief & Loss
Trauma
Midlife crisis/concerns
Self Esteem
Parenting
Our job as therapists is to engage you in a dialog that helps you unlock and see from a fresh perspective. Through differing techniques we work with individuals to help them gain awareness of patterns, assumptions and attitudes that may impede progress towards goal achievement and personal fulfillment. Often times it is not clear what a behavior or attitude is driven by, and counseling presents the opportunity to explore past experiences, as well as future anxieties and worries. In summary, therapy is a very unique environment in which you can work toward understanding yourself better with a trusted professional. This offers opportunities to be challenged and to be cared for so that you can optimally grow.
