ABOUT ME
I am a Christian, wife, mother, therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, business owner and sole manager for all aspects, mother to furbabies, Godmother, daughter, devoted friend, and avid hiker. Geeze that sounds like a lot, but we all have multiple roles. It is how we manage our lives and balance our emotions that makes all the difference.
I have been supporting individuals, families, and couples with a range of psychological and emotional difficulties for the last 20 years. While I am qualified to work with persons dealing with a variety of emotional and/or relational difficulties; I most enjoy the work with those whom are struggling with life transitions such as grief, marriage, divorce, becoming an independent adult, empty nester, retirement, career change, and family care-taking.
I am passionate about helping people find peace and clarity in their life. Many things can inhibit us from allowing ourselves to feel motivated and looking forward to the day ahead. It’s not always easy to find out how to improve things on your own. In fact, it is not easy at all.
The thoughts that keep us stuck and re-living the same patterns over and over are outside of our awareness. This means that you can not identify them by simply thinking things over. It is necessary to have someone who can listen closely to what you say, as well as what you don’t say, in order to unravel the structure beneath the chaos and to uncover the unhelpful beliefs that are holding you back.
Coach
As well as an experienced clinician, I have also been trained as a Oola life coach. While I don’t provide coaching services I do often use these skills to assist clients to build the motivation to go after their dreams and feel the ever-elusive sense of fulfilment many people are after to turn vague dreams and aspirations into specific and achievable goals, so you can stop dreaming and start living the life you’re after. I will hold you accountable and keep you excited about your goals when things get difficult.
Perhaps you’ve tried to make changes and follow your dreams in the past. You probably found that it is almost impossible to make meaningful changes in your life without someone who supports you and cheers you on to keep going. Unfortunately, wo don’t always have someone in our life to fill this role. In fact, we usually have to deal with people in our life who are discouraging and tell us to “get real”.
The goal of coaching techniques is to allow you to feel the fulfillment and excitement of growth, and the enjoyment of broadening your potential and your competence in life. It is a proven formula to get you back on track, and to find balance in an unbalanced world.
