Do you work with couples or individuals only?

Yes, I  work with individuals and couples.  Many couples wish to seek clarity in areas of their relationship. Those areas may be communication based, loss of interest, sexual issues, or simply that the daily pressures of living have eroded that part of their relationship they want back.  I am able to work with  anyone who has a desire to be more fulfilled in their lives.

 

What hours and days are you available?

I take appointments Tuesday - Thursday.  My hours are 10am - 9pm eastern time.

Do you coach over the phone?

Yes. There are some skill sets that I cannot teach over the phone and must be in person lessons. However, I have worked with several couples and individuals over the phone. Learning is a matter of communication in many areas. Making language accessible and understandable is every teacher/coach's job.  I take pride in making sure that my clients have what they need to ascertain the level of information they seek. On occasion, I will take in person sessions, however this is a rarity.

Will you coach/teach groups of people? If so, how do I book you?

Yes.  I travel to teach groups and will come to you. Costs for travel and lodging are added to my fees. Please email me with the specifics of the type of presentation you'd like, the size of your group, and your location.

How do you accept payment? What do you charge?

I accept Discover, Visa or Mastercard over the phone and have a secure online payment system (please see Payment Portal).  Appointments are paid for on a monthly basis in advance. I have several monthly plans you may choose from to get the perfect fit for your needs. For monthly plan details, please email me.

 

What does personal/life coaching mean?

It may mean we refine areas of your life that are going well but may be more satisfying to you. All sessions are confidential. Coaching is not therapy.  Therapists are diagnosticians and treat a number of illnesses or disorders.  Coaches help you refine, further define, and assist you in reaching your goals. Through a working partnership I'll strategize with you to accomplish those goals.  A coach will assist you to create your life in a way that best suits you and your needs.

What are your area's of expertise for coaching?

I have many areas I coach clients. These areas are:

  • Executive/Business Coaching

    I understand the concern of making more efficient use of your time, resources, and personal abilities. Or perhaps you are in the process of seeking a promotion or new goal within your profession.  Making sure you make the best impressions and are well prepared to pursue and secure your goal is paramount. Prior to life coaching, I was Vice President of several companies owned by one person. I understanding the needs of executives through my practical, multi-year experience in a highly demanding corporate culture.  

  • Parent Coaching

    I happy work with parents to find a healthy balance between living your life and doing all you can do for your children. For some clients it's about reorganizing their current structures and systems for parenting. For others what has worked has been moving from a place where it seems everything must be done to discovering what can be shifted to create time where none existed previously. I'd be happy to partner with you to find the solutions to your current situations. 

  • Personal Coaching

    Personal coaching is truly a catch phrase for working on whatever is important to you at the moment. This is as broad an area or as focused an area as you like. Personal coaching may incorporate tools for work, problem solving, time management, relationship tuning, coping strategies, motivation to follow your dreams, and much more.  The exploration of your whole life to gain further satisfaction and forward movement is highly rewarding.

  • Relationship Coaching

    Exploring the many options one may have to start a new relationship, end a relationship well, or maintain a current relationship may be some of the areas we explore. Problem solving is a part of maintaining healthy relationships and many of my clients have found coaching helpful to the continued health of their relationships. Sometimes I work with each individual and sometimes I work with couples. Choose what works well for you.

  • Self-Esteem Coaching

    There are few of us who haven't been challenged in the area of self-esteem. I'm extremely well versed in this area and it's one of my great loves. There is a saying that anything done with passion will be done well-- I believe it's true. I have a deep belief that each of us has the ability to better who we are, have a clearer vision of how good we are, and know our own competency deeply.

  • Gender/Sexuality Coaching

    I work with people to become more open with their desires and those who are seeking alternative sexual identities.  I am very well educated on queer, gay, lesbian, alternative sexuality and transgender issues.
