As a Life and Relationship Coach, my priority is to find out about you – your value system, past experiences/influences, and what it is you want for yourself. The most important place to start is to understand your goals. That’s your target destination. You can’t figure out how to get somewhere until you decide on where you want to get to.
We can start to create a roadmap by exploring various questions with curiosity and non-judgment: What’s your theory about how you got stuck or how you got to this place? What have you tried, and in what ways has it helped, or not? What do you think needs to happen for you to be more satisfied with your life? What thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors are getting in the way of living the life you want? We start broad and hone in on details to add depth.
I’m not here to tell you how you should be or what you should do – I’m like a travel agent guiding you to your own personal destination. A destination you choose for yourself, not one someone else thinks you should pick. I’m familiar with the obstacles you’re likely to encounter in your journey and can help you map out a route, know what to watch out for along the way, and identify or develop useful resources and move forward with confidence.
As a neutral and fairly objective consultant and collaborator, I can see where your upbringing and life experiences have led you to patterns of thought and action that might have been good once, but no longer serve you well. While you are unique, my years of training and experience in psychotherapy practice let me spot the common ways people get in their own way, and how to create positive change.
As your coach, my commitment is to assist you in getting you to where you want to be – with yourself, with your relationships, with your life – in an effective manner that also lets you appreciate the scenery along the way.
