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).

As a result of working with me, my clients are able to embrace life’s struggles, while maintaining a healthy balance of life and love, and keep their emotional and mental stability intact.

I have over 10 years of experience working with couples, families, children, adolescents, individuals seeking treatment for depression, survivors of trauma (abuse), & those needing assistance with life adjustments.

I have extensive experience in private practice, school, group home (for at risk youth ages 12 to 18), & hospital (specializing in adolescent intensive outpatient care; adolescent i.o.p) settings.
