How do I start the life coaching process?
Contact me to schedule an appointment for a Discovery session, which is the initial, structured session that forms the foundation of our work to follow (during the Discovery session we will explore values, focus areas and goals). Then we can decide what kind of schedule would work best for you.

What makes personal life coaching so convenient and yet powerful?
Life & wellness coaching can be conducted on the phone in the convenience of your home or office. Realizing that we all have full and busy lives using the phone and internet (email, instant messaging and on line support rooms) make receiving on going support and educational opportunities readily available without travel.
How do the words partner, collaborate, and alliance help define life coaching?
As a personal coach, I view each and every client as creative, resourceful and whole, thus being capable of setting and reaching goals and finding your own answers. I do ask lots of questions to keep us focused, however! Our coaching relationship is a designed alliance and you get to "design the coach" based on your own personality style and needs. Your goals, needs and dreams comprise the agenda and you set the tone for each coaching call. As your partner, I will always see and point out your greatness and potential, even when you lose sight of it.
How is life coaching different from counseling and psychotherapy?
Life coaching deals with the present and future. It does not examine the past but instead creates your future. Many of my clients have found the coaching I provide to be therapeutic, but it is not therapy. Counseling and psychotherapy usually deal with problems and healing. It entails working with the past as well as the present. Also, life coaching is not considered a mental health service per se and is therefore not covered by health insurance.
What are the advantages to working with a life coach whose background is in counseling?I really understand people and the dynamics of change. I am warm, wise and non-judgmental; I have good intuition and insight and make all my skills and wisdom available through coaching you.
How is personal life coaching different from consulting?
As a personal life coach, I help you find your own answers. People are more likely to take action if it is something they themselves have come up with and not been told to do. A consultant is an expert who dispenses advice and has all the answers. I do not give advice per se but do problem-solve and brainstorm with you.
