Instead of saying, "i know what it feels like", let's say "i cannot imagine your heartbreak".
instead of saying, "you're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " you'll hurt, and I'll be here.
instead of saying, "you look like you're doing well, let's say, "how are you holding up today?"
instead of saying, "healing takes time", let's say "healing has no timeline".
instead of saying, "everything happens for a reason, let's say "this must feel so terribly senseless right now".
and when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. love speaks in silences too.

Life Coach Creative Approach

email: [email protected]

I specialize in personal and professional development coaching for individuals seeking support with life transitions. I have learned through my own personal experiences and through working with clients, life has many unexpected turns. As a result, limiting patterns and beliefs may develop and affect how you view yourself, manage your thoughts and emotions, relate to others, and move through your day to day life.

As your life coach, I partner with you to increase confidence, reduce stress, increase motivation and creativity, discover purpose and meaning, heal hurts, overcome blocks, feel connected, live a balanced life, and achieve your version of success.

You are the expert on yourself. Our goals and action plans are developed collaboratively. I strive to provide a space that is non-judgmental, safe, creative and dynamic. In session, we will reflect on your choices, desires, obstacles, patterns and dreams. Depending on your needs and interests, I provide traditional “talk” coaching, self exploration through art, or a combination of both. If you decide to explore art as an avenue for expression and exploration, no “talent” or experience is required. I offer life coaching in individual, group and workshop settings. I have extensive experience and endeavor to work with adults and teens from diverse backgrounds.

Is Life Coaching different than Therapy?

Therapy is different than coaching in that therapy is part of the medical field. Therapists are trained to work with individuals with significant mental health issues and to diagnose clients.

Life coaches are non-medical. Life coaches collaborate with clients by using their coaching skills and asking questions to allow clients to explore and find answers. Coaches work on helping clients identify what is happening now and what they want for the future.
