ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

My approach to coaching is to create a partnership with my clients.  I am able to quickly build a bond of trust and understanding to determine the road blocks that are preventing forward movement.  Many times negative patterns are repeated without understanding the underlying causes.  Through my conversations with young people and the families that I work with, the causes are identified and the process of creating new and beneficial patterns can be implemented. 

Young people are faced with the demands to perform well academically and excel in extra-curricular activities.  They face tremendous peer-pressure and are constantly bombarded with ideals of perfection through social media and entertainment outlets.  Their sense of confidence is constantly under attack and many succumb to the pressures because they believe their efforts are not enough to measure up to family and society’s expectations.  My coaching helps young people mitigate these outside influences and recognize their greatness.  They learn to measure their value through their accomplishments and not by the expectations of others. 

I specialize my coaching practice to work with teens, twenty-somethings and their families.  As no child is an island, it is advantageous to the process that all who have influence in the life of my client are involved.  Some clients need long term coaching while others simply need minimum support to move them through a debilitating challenge.  I work closely with my clients and/or their families to determine the best approach for the ultimate results.  Helping a young person achieve a dream has been my passion for over twenty years, and it continues to be.
