Coaching is a journey of self-discovery with an experienced and trained person on hand to help.  It is not counseling.  I, as your coach, do not have the answers.  You have the answers, or will discover them, and I am here to help.  The path and the journey are yours alone.  I am happy to accompany you and facilitate as needed. 

Coaching enables you to chalk out your personal and professional goals and realize them more easily and more quickly than if you were working on them all alone.

I have 20 years experience helping individuals and couples work through all kinds of issues, including communication blocks, relationship problems, stress, and anxiety.  As a business coach I have helped professionals clarify and meet goals and cope with transitions.  As an outplacement consultant I have shown downsized employees how to create resumes, write excellent cover letters, enhance their interviewing skills and prepare for salary negotiations, all the while enhancing their ability to make a good presentation.

Whatever your goals, I would feel honored to assist.

During our sessions we will focus on the future and:

• Examine your goals or help set them
