You want to succeed in your career, be fully present to your family, and stay aware and engaged with your community and the larger world. You’re running as fast as you can and yet there’s a voice in your head telling you it’s not enough, you must do better. Despite it’s relentless negativity you might actually believe that without that nagging, doubting, judging voice you’d be a failure.

You’re wrong about that. The truth is your spirit will eventually be crushed by that voice. Criticizing you is its sole purpose and no amount of success will ever satisfy it.

Let me help you find a better way, a sustainable path to leading the life you want to live. I’ll ask questions to help you identify the beliefs that shape you and challenge you to reframe the ones that stand between you and your idea of a satisfying and rewarding life.

I provide one-on-one coaching where I listen deeply, offer clear observations, and provide new perspectives.

Working with me you will

1. Identify the key beliefs that block your progress
2. Develop practices that increase calmness, clarity, and self-acceptance
3. Maintain a level of self-awareness that allows you to make decisions, and make change, from a place of confidence rather than fear.

I truly believe you can alter the way you see your life and the way you live your everyday life. By examining and changing the way you talk to yourself about yourself and about others you can transform your life. I believe this in my bones and I’ve seen countless people succeed.

I earned a Ph.D. in communication studies and I taught courses in interpersonal communication for over 20 years. I was 18 when I found a home in communication studies. The courses I took gave me a vocabulary for making sense of my feelings and experiences. With words and concepts to help me understand the world around me, I felt less alone. Studying communication changed how I saw my life and gave me tools to help others. Recently, I became a Martha Beck certified life coach in order to more fully meet my clients’ needs.
