EVERYONE NEEDS A COACH. Everyone faces challenges for which they are not adequately prepared at some point in life: an executive leadership position, a career change or retirement, a creative block, difficulties forming or sustaining a romantic relationship, the complexities of parenting, divorce, or disability. We usually expect ourselves to just do whatever needs to be done, on our own. That attitude often leads to unanticipated hardships and difficulties, which could be avoided by seeking the appropriate counsel.
Coaching can help us discover our own strengths, find our own paths, and develop the self-knowledge and resilience necessary to enhance our intimate, emotional, creative and professional lives. Collaborative conversation can develop the processes and outlooks required to navigate them successfully, and make the difference between frustration and mastery.
30 years as a coach/psychotherapist with adults, children, families and couples provide me with a unique background and skill set. Having also served as a mental health consultant for schools and as assistant professor teaching child psychology has given me an understanding of the full range of human behavior.
