I’ve always had the wish to remove the difficulties which stop us from being our best. Someone may have huge potential but internal obstacles create blocks. Indecision, self-limiting beliefs, difficulties with one’s job, worry, a health or relationship challenge, the inability to find satisfying work, or just the twists and turns on life’s path keep getting in the way. I have a reputation for being honest, direct, warm, compassionate, intuitive, quick to understand another’s point of view and challenges, and skillful at facilitating solutions. Clients consistently say that I find the useful positive spin, the learning edge for them, even when things are tough. No matter what concern they bring to our work, they feel clearer, strengthened by a new perspective and ready to move forward. I was never much of a rearview-mirror therapist so my transition to coaching gave me the chance to use my solution-focused orientation in the most effective ways to help clients take more directed action on their own behalf.
