I have earned a PhD in counseling, a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Life Coaching Certificate, and I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor.
Identity is like a fingerprint, it touches everything you do. I am in the middle of my life, sandwiched between kids and parents, career and family life, the past, present, and future. In all of this I am working to create a life I love.
The struggle is never easy. I have had my share of difficulties, like trying to do what's important in the midst of loss, betrayal, and pain, while searching for help, hope, and joy in recovery. That is why helping people find their strength is so important to me.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with strong people who aren't strong yet, don't feel strong now, or don't feel strong in a specific area of their life. This leads to some really uncomfortable things like depression, anxiety, shame, and guilt. Addressing these things can seem like the fight of your life. I am thrilled to help people stay married, get free from addictions, and see their self discipline and personal leadership grow.
My clients have restored intimacy and connection, stopped drinking too much, developed marriage skills, found lasting recovery, learned to trust, and discovered their most important values...all in the midst of daily life.
RAPPORT AND COMPATIBILITY
I want to share a few brief things about myself and my practice Emerging Strength.
The #1 predictor of life coaching and counseling success is rapport. Our compatibility is vital to the outcome. So I want to tell you about myself and give you the opportunity to test our compatibility with a free phone consultation.
TAILOR MADE FOR YOU
-
REAL TALK
We talk about what's important to you in ways that support and motivate personal growth. This approach inspires metaphors, activities, and interventions made just for you.
-
FAMILIAR PLACES
Our services are not in a lab or a clinic. We meet in places reminiscent of daily life; a home-based office, a walk in the park, and online.
-
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
We will schedule at a frequency that balances real life with motivation and goals. Most people have 2-3 sessions in the first month to get a strong start. And there are people so busy they prefer the four hour intensives with a few follow up sessions as needed.
-
PRICING
Life Coaching & Counseling are investments for yourself, your family, and your future. We do not accept insurance. You may however, be able to get reimbursed by your insurance provider directly. Sessions are $150/hr.
