Life Design Coaching

​

​

My clients come to me at challenging or pivotal moments in their life. Maybe you feel like you live in the margins. Maybe you feel stuck or not where you want to be in life. Maybe you feel an uncomfortable emotion you want to get a better handle on (anxiety and anger are common offenders!) Maybe you have a goal they want to achieve but aren’t 100% sure how to get there.

Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself, like life is passing you by, and sometimes it’s debilitating.

A lot of my clients have read the self-help books, followed the *big name* social media influencers, done a lot of work, but are still just missing…something.

​

You want more. I've got you. 

​

I offer skill and goal oriented coaching through my Life Design Program, utilizing my background in mental health, human services, and education.

In other words, I’m the person you work with when you want to work through getting some answers, but don’t feel like you *quite* need a therapist or you want to work on skills outside of your clinician's scope.

​

We work together with your experience in yourself, and my experience in mental health and mentoring, to craft a unique path forward for you.  I don't sell courses; each plan and coaching session is tailored to your goals, unique strengths, and interests.

​

my approach and values

The Life Design Program is a 360 view of you, your values, strengths, skills, and goals. We assess together what in your life can come into alignment to better achieve your goals, whether your goals are related to work, personal, relationships, etc. 

​

One aspect that sets me apart as a coach is I will do the work with you. You don't have to sit in a comfy chair and tell me your problems. We can meet privately, or we can try things out in the real world. 

Coaches work in the here and now - we only talk about the past to understand your present.

I work with partners to help you get the resources you need.

I don't work with any one aspect of your life (school, family, work). We work with all of it, piecing the puzzle together.

​

Unlike many life coaches, I have education and professional experience to back up my work with you.

I believe in transparency and collaboration, and ethical coaching. ​​​

​

 I am action-oriented, direct, and believe in empowerment, strengths-based work. Healing happens in community.

I believe and utilize evidence-based treatment and understand its limitations.

I am a non-judgmental, identity affirming, sex-positive, CNM friendly professional.

I'm not trying to make you *better* (there is nothing wrong with you), I am trying to help you be more *you.*

I actively continue to identify and address my areas of privilege and ways that mental health professionals 

Your values don't have to be my values.

Coaching relationships don't have to last a long time to be really effective.

Your health and wellness, and working with me is an investment in yourself, your family, and your community.
