I believe we are ALL artists. We get to imagine, create and color this one life we are given. We have the ability to "spill the light" onto the canvas of our own lives, as well as onto those around us. Sometimes that comes easily. Sometimes not so much. 

These are stressful and unprecedented times, and our own self-care, mental health and well-being are of the utmost importance. I am blessed to have counseled individuals, students, couples and families since 1996, both in educational settings and in private practice. I am beyond excited now to begin an independent coaching practice. I will have video/tele-coaching appointments opening up in March for both individual appointments and group coaching, and in-person appointments available as soon as it is possible.

My work with clients is heavily influenced by Carl Rogers, and his humanistic, client-centered approach. He famously taught the value of greeting every single person with "Unconditional Positive Regard", and meeting the client "where they are". Unlike many coaches who are currently "coaching" without any formal counseling background or training, I bring a Master's Degree in Social Work, formal counseling supervision and training, and 25 years of counseling experience into my practice. I create a safe space for clients to look carefully at their own lives, relationships and values (what matters most to them and makes them happy), and then guide them to make positive choices and changes for themselves which are forged from that place of deep integrity.  

If you are curious how coaching with me could work for you, and how having unconditional, encouraging and experienced support could move you forward in your life, reach out to me here, and I will be in touch with you via email to arrange a chat.

             This is YOUR life. NOW is the time to "spill the light".
