I define coaching as a partnership in which you and I work together to set a path that will help you get unstuck and return to feeling more aligned with your true self. We will focus our attention on the possibilities you see for yourself and catalyze shifts in thinking that will result in new feelings and behavior. Along the way, I will provide you with the safe and supportive environment, tools, and accountability you need to put your plans into action. You don't have to navigate your journey without directions and a destination. We can turn your pain points into actionable opportunities!

My coaching style is holistic, intuitive, client-focused, and integrates my diverse cultural background and work experience. With a safe presence, I use my training in adult development, group dynamics, and coaching to frame things as an embodiment of who my clients are (and aspire to be) and empower them with the confidence and skills they need to find their purpose and lead a life of joy and fulfillment.

My ideal client is someone who is eager to unearth their unique capacities/strengths, recognize their blindspots, and effectively overcome them. Someone who is willing to be energized around their desired goals and does the work it takes to understand and grow.

I think only the client can determine if our partnership was successful in helping them realize their goals. However, I make sure my clients have clarity around their stated goals and why achieving them is essential to them. I partner with them to identify the steps and actions that they can use to assess and track progress. I also help them identify potential challenges to realizing their desired goals and equip them with the mindset and tools they need to overcome them.

My distinguishing feature is my ability to develop my clients' potential, see the possibilities they deny in themselves, and inspire conversations that lead to greater self-awareness and understanding. I have a passion for holding space for my clients to thrive using a personalized coaching style that’s informed by my powerful intuition, empathy, and unique experiences.

I take responsibility for my client's well-being and success and follow through on my promises. I make them feel heard and seen through a one-size-fits-one approach that focuses on their customized needs. My breadth of experience working with diverse clients across different demographics, locations, interests, and needs allows me to hold multiple perspectives and appeal to my client's emotional needs, fears, and triggers. I always look for ways to facilitate my clients' growth and help them use their potential to experience fulfillment.

I identify what my clients want to achieve in their sessions and get them to define their measure of success. I use open-ended questions and reflective listening to hold a safe space for them to explore goals and outcomes that are relevant to them. I allow space for silence and reflection and encourage my clients to explore their emotions and thoughts through connective and reflective listening, powerful questioning, and timely paraphrasing. I use proactive coaching strategies to help my clients design actions and effectively manage progress and accountability.

Some tools I regularly use in my practice include an awareness journal to help my clients make sense of their thoughts, emotions, and reactions, and reflect on the behavioral choices available to them; the wheel of life assessment tool to get my clients to reflect on their life priorities; a self-development action plan that focuses on my client's desired goals, action steps towards achieving these goals, and strategies on how to tap into their strengths and support systems to overcome any challenges.

I ask them probing/learning questions aimed at building greater self-awareness such as activities that bring them the greatest joy, how they describe themselves, and values that are meaningful to them. I will administer assessments to shed light on their personality preferences and default strengths to help identify pursuits most aligned with their interests and natural talents. I use aspirational questions and reflection activities to understand their current reality and the opportunities/challenges they see for themselves in the future.
