My Expert Service

Greetings...and welcome to my coaching profile page. I hope you will read on to learn more about my background and my work and get a feel for who I am... I can help you to improve communication with the important people in your life. I have years of experience helping people relate and communicate more effectively. I can help you learn to… *say what you mean an mean what you say *let go of the fear of really being real and honest in your relationships. *better understand where your spouse, partner, boss, kids, parent, sibling, and others are coming from. *express your thoughts, feelings, needs, and wants in a way that caring others in your life can understand and accept. *come from the powerful place of “I” and “now” moving forward and move out of the past, the other, resentment, and victimhood. Coaching is a powerful alliance and collaboration between two equals formed for the purpose of meeting your needs. This partnership is individualized, custom designed, and implemented with a variety of powerful tools. The unwavering purpose of the coaching relationship is identifying and achieving the your goals and dreams - working to allow you to live a fulfilled and balanced life. The ongoing coaching partnership activates personal, inner growth processes which, brought to fruition, manifest in a higher quality life. As a professional Life Coach, my focus is fully on you – your life, your hope and dreams, your plans and goals, your obstacles and resources, your fears and concerns. I attend to you without judgment or criticism. I listen carefully; ask questions that lead us deeper into understanding and insight, and help you gain clarity and direction. I am available to provide you with quality, professional coaching. Whatever the issue, we can talk about it honestly and openly and in privacy. I rely on many years of training and experience. I view coaching as and opportunity for deepening connection with self, others, and life beyond the confines of the session. Certainly practical solutions and actions arise from sessions, furthering the growth, health, and development of the person. Sometimes people have been doing the same dance for so long that merely bringing a fresh eye to a situation opens up new possibilities. Sometimes people discover parts or paths for themselves they have neglected when they can be in coaching dialog. Sometimes people need to vent, be validated, feel understood, supported, and encouraged. Sometimes people gain by a bit of advice or new insight or angle on their problems. Your issues may be chronic or circumstantial – in your relationship with yourself and your life and goals, or your relationship with others. You may be stuck and need a kick in the butt or feel overwhelmed by transition. These are just some of the reasons people seek coaching. Always coaching is directed to meet your needs, move you towards your goals and engage the process of your personal development. Whatever you choose, Progress and Peace.
Areas of specialty include: Effective Communication, Life Balance, Dating and Other Relationship Issues, Assertiveness, Decision Making, Making Decisions about Relationships, Nurturing/Improving Your Relationships, Career or Academic Decisions and Planning, Confidence/Self-esteem.

I am a professional coach and a licensed psychologist in Texas. I have worked in private practice for 20 years and have operated my own private practice since 1994. I added coaching to my practice a few years ago and find that the deep collaborations with people in the coaching work are hugely successful and satisfying. I also taught in colleges and universities for 20 years. The courses I taught included abnormal psychology, developmental psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, personality theories, the psychology of humor, and personal development.
