How does coaching work?
 Coaches do two primary things: they help you think things through, and they help you get things done. A Coach typically works with Clients via telephone, video call, or in person and usually in weekly 45-minute sessions. Your Coach is a motivator and an accountability partner - someone who will come alongside you and walk with you - inspiring and encouraging you to achieve your goals and objectives in a healthy and timely manner.

Coaching is not something that happens overnight. Clients are encouraged to invest 6-12 weeks to realize tangible changes in their lives. Your Coach will actively listen, ask pointed questions, and bring focus and observation to the exchange in order to identify and develop the strategies which will move you to reach your goals and objectives. The focus of the coaching conversation isn't on what the coach has to tell you, but on what the coach can draw out of you. Coaches believe that if we simply listen intently and ask intelligent questions, God will lead us to great insights and effective solutions to the challenges we face. You'll be amazed at what a great Coach can draw out of you. 

Coaches work with clients on many different aspects of their lives.  In line with my certifications, my focus is on the following areas: 

  • Mental Health Coaching - Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach (BCMMHC)  
For many people suffering from depression or anxiety, it’s not a visible pain of brokenness, but rather the invisible feeling of being alone, misunderstood, and hopelessly stuck in an endless dark cycle that is most painful.  As a trained mental health coach, I will come alongside you with a confidential listening ear, and help you to see options for change, recognize your potential, and discover the power that is within you to step out of the darkness.  Through the coaching process, I offer hope for inner peace and a plan to walk out your purpose in life.  You have a purpose in this life - designed just for you.  Are you ready to begin the journey?  Mental Health Coaching sessions are free.

  • Spiritual and Life Coaching - Certified Advanced Christian Life Coach (CACLC)
Life is a journey. Where are you headed? Are you wandering around the base of the mountain (again) - or are you headed toward the mountaintop? Are you wondering what your purpose in life is? Do you lack clarity, inspiration, or motivation?  Do you have dreams, hopes, and passions that remain hidden and unfulfilled? Want a deeper relationship with God? Desire to live out your God-given destiny but don't know how? Struggling with balancing your career and family life?   A Life Coach can help you get from where you are... to where you want to be!   Coaches help people grow, see from a different perspective, determine their next steps forward, and then holds them accountable for taking the actions steps they commit to.  In the words of  Solomon, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." ~ Proverbs 27:17 NIV   Are you ready  to allow your focus to be sharpened through the coaching process, so that you can clearly see your path forward?  Ready to stop wandering?  Let the focused journey begin!

  • Leadership Coaching - John Maxwell Team Founding Member - Certified Speaker, Trainer, and Coach

I’m convinced that life-changing thoughts become reality through the coaching and training processes.  Are you ready for a change?
