A coach is a catalyst for change.  A coach inspires self-discovery. A coach creates challenges for growth. A coach taps deeply into what you want. A coach wants what you want for yourself.

Even before becoming a professional life coach in 2000, I spent my life listening to, coaching and championing people in a variety of personal and professional capacities. As a journalist, I learned to maintain an open mind and appreciate different perspectives, even if they conflicted with one another. I learned to ask questions that elicited truthful answers and chose to write stories that had the potential for serving the greater good of my community. As a middle school teacher, I listened for the unarticulated needs and wants of my students. I believed in them even when they weren’t yet ready to believe in themselves. I learned to respect individual differences and witnessed the effectiveness of designing challenges for growth. As a mother, I learned to nurture the growth of my children and then to step back, allowing them to choose their own life paths. As a wife, I’ve learned to stay in relationship through a lifetime of challenge and change. In the course of my life, I have learned to believe in people’s capacity to recreate their relationships and their individual selves over and over again.

My desire as a coach is to help you listen more deeply to yourself. My passion is to help you reconnect with your sense of personal power and to express yourself – in whatever form – in your own voice. Isn’t it time to start being the person you want to be? Isn’t it time to start living the life you want?
