Skilled Life, Health and Sober Coach with years of experience supporting clients in in goal-setting, skill-building and clarity sessions. Using a holistic approach and I partner with each client to develop a personalized approach unique to each client, while still using a proven framework rooted in science. Versed in communicating effectively and leveraging active listening skills to assess client needs. Personable and direct with focus on guiding clients toward self-reflection and personal development.
I am also educated in the framework and use of the Enneagram, a personality profile system, to help people that are open to using it as a tool to help them understand themselves better. I find this extremely useful personally and professionally. I have had clients for whom this has been an extremely helpful transformational tool and as a diagnostic tool for ongoing growth and periodic assesments.
I have a diverse background that has equipped me to be and simultaneously revealed that I am a natural coach. Many of the corporate, personal, volunteer and entrepreneurial paths I have taken have all involved coaching in one form or another. I am that person that many in my orbit turn to for a listening ear, for trusted advice, helpful insight, inspiration and encouragement. From my years as a client and implementation project manager with Fidelity Investments, volunteer leader and helping people navigate the complex life situations that often are part of the home buying and selling process, I have earned a respected and trusted reputation as one who can bring wisdom, discernment, valued insight and perspective and guidance in complex situations.
My personal life experience as the daughter and granddaughter of an alcoholics, frequently moving, childhood trauma, and a dysfunctional family dynamic to eventually finding myself in an unhealthy relationship with alcohol; and subsequently finding my way out of that through the world of coaching; has unleashed a passion and calling in me to help others go from merely surviving to their birthright of thriving. I began dealing with my own relationship with alcohol about 6 years ago with the help of online support groups and coaching and am now 4 years completely alcohol free and have continued my journey to not only become a certified coach, but also by also continuing to work on the deeper issues of why I was reaching for ritualistic coping strategies. For me this is rooted in people pleasing, being an empath, and co-dependency. This is true for many others and I am dedicated to helping as many as I can find their way back to wholeness, peace and health in mind, heart, body and spirit by taking back their power through 100% responsibility and agency in their lives.
