Life Coaching

Coaching for Behavior Change:
Many people need guidance to help them change undesired behaviors in their life, especially with the start of a New Year, such as losing weight, exercising more, balancing work/play, reducing stress, changing jobs, etc. I focus on the Stages of Change model to facilitate and guide you and develop SMART goals with you to achieve positive behavior change in small increments that are easily attainable, using positive reinforcement and reframing with always a focus on the positive. I also focus on risk reduction and moderation to achieve your goals. You are worth it!

Coaching for Goal Setting/Visioning:
You may want to make a major shift in your life: Repairing or ending an unhealthy relationship with a partner, significant other, friend or family member; starting a new career; changing jobs; moving; following your passion. I use techniques based on spirituality and following the teachings of “A Course in Miracles”

Coaching for Grief/Loss/Caregiving:
I have lost several members of my family and friends. I was the primary caregiver for my sister who had a chronic disability, and my mother as she aged. I know the pain and loss of being there at someone’s side when they have taken their last breath. Society and people, in general, don’t know how to deal with you or treat you during a loss. I can assist with strategies and techniques to help you move through these challenges.

Coaching for Self-Compassion, Self-Love, and Gratitude:
I know what it’s like to be your own worst critic. I would never treat anyone else as harshly as I treated myself. I would only be “OK” if everything I did was perfect; there was no room for error. The demon of perfectionism is just one way we sabotage ourselves. I can give you tools to combat the perfectionism demon and to be kinder to yourself.

Sessions are 50 minutes-1 per hour; $75 or negotiable if you demonstrate financial need.
