Coaching
How is Life Coaching Different?
Coaching is a Professional-Client relationship, a little different from therapy.
In coaching, we focus on actions and thoughts. There will be a great deal of listening on my part, as I pay attention to what is perhaps not yet known, or what is trying to be heard. I truly appreciate the courage and creativity this takes, and those two qualities will take you far.
Together, we’ll explore the parts of life which are causing pain, and come up with strategies and steps that can create a better outcome, and hopefully a more peaceful heart.
Coaching is a process of discovery. I look forward to seeing how I can be of service, as a witness and a support to your life’s journey.
Commitment to Growth
I am deeply committed to supporting others on the growth path. There will always be challenges that come up in our lives. Some people are able to dig deep, rise up, and use these opportunities to grow. Yet others seem to collapse toward self-destruction, and their lives spiral downward.
People Who Flourish with Coaching
Here is what I have noticed. People who flourish:
- Have supportive friendships and relationships
- Cultivate good boundaries
- Invest time in themselves
- Will consider new thinking and new behaviors
- Can be honest with themselves and with others
- Have a place where they feel safe, and that their story matters
- Desire a life of integrity and courageous problem-solving
- Value their own contributions
- Have some sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves
- Have creative, growth mindsets
These are all qualities that really make all the difference in creating a satisfying, meaningful life. I would love to help you cultivate these strengths, so they become part of how you face any tough situation. The most beautiful and brave people have been through tremendous difficulties and still find a way to create a life of which they are very proud.
