What I DO
Life Coaching: Are you in need of a JUMPSTART? Has your personal growth come to a halt? Do you feel like you have gone as far as you can alone? Are you seeking emotional and mental stability? Have you grown tired of trying to maintain balance? If so, this service is for you. During your Life Coaching sessions I will challenge you to implement the 3 CRUCIAL STEPS to JUMPSTART your journey of self discovery; “RECOGNITION, REACTION AND RESOLUTION”. First I will challenge you, and ask that you RECOGNIZE & acknowledge that a problem exists. Second I will assist you in the process of deciding, appropriate ways to REACT to the situation/problem(s) that exists. And finally I will work with you on developing and implementing a plan to RESOLVE the issue(s).
ME CARE
Individual Counseling: Is perfect for anyone struggling with letting go of grudges, moving past pain (caused by traumatic experiences), and individuals feeling lost & are unsure of how to get back to feeling great about who they are AND living their life to it’s greatest potential.
WE CARE
Family Counseling: Bringing families together, by giving each individual the power to communicate effectively, an opportunity to be heard and the family to be healed.
US CARE
Couples Counseling: For couples looking to revitalize their relationships by unlocking the power within, that allows them to quiet the conflict that is threatening to destroy the possibilities for growth in their relationship. It is my goal to transform their relationship into a partnership.
MY PHILOSOPHY
As a published writer, motivational speaker, guest lecturer and community activist; I have a passion for freeing individuals of the grudges and struggles that keep them from living life to it’s greatest potential; teaching the motto, “If it is not enhancing your life, it has no place in your life.”
