THE WORK
One who leads individuals and groups through unfamiliar,
complex, or hazardous terrain.
I find the definition above immensely useful when describing my work as a coach. I am your guide, accompanying you through the unfamiliar, complex, and sometimes hazardous terrain of your inner life. My approach isn’t to offer opinions or give advice. My goal is to help you grow right out of yourself. This means our greatest resource is something you already possess—an innate wisdom that knows the way, even when your conscious mind does not. Our work together will be to uncover that wisdom. What ensures our safety in this work is our patience, our kindness, my unwavering belief in your inherent worth as a human being, and a deep, shared commitment to your highest good.

For many of us, a major life change can raise difficult questions:
Separation or Divorce.
Loss of a job or a career change.
The death of someone we love.
A health crisis.
Retirement.
Children leaving home.

One Session at a Time
Unlike some coaches, I don’t offer packages or require a commitment to a series of sessions. We don’t know how long you will need to find the answers you are looking for - so I prefer to take it one session at a time. This doesn’t mean we won’t be seeking solutions.
We will seek solutions. Vigorously.
But I’ve learned after many years of this work that the deepest and most enduring answers rarely arrive on a schedule.
