The passion you set aside is not gone- it is waiting for you on the other side of change. Congratulations on taking the first step in retrieving it!
A profound author who writes about “Wounded Healers” expresses what my practice is all about. Mr. Noumen writes, ” Our service will not be perceived as authentic unless it comes from a heart wounded by the suffering about which we speak”. Fortunately for my clients, I can attest to personally experiencing almost every transition they may encounter.
I am blessed to have a loving husband of 40 years and six children. Having grown up with eight siblings, I have vast experience in family dynamics. I earned my Doctorate in Education in 2019 and served as a teacher and administrator for fifteen years. After leaving my education career, I explored Life Coaching as a way to continue to help others, working on accreditation through the Institute of Life Coaching (ILC) while also earning my Cognitive Behavior Therapist Certification (CBT) and becoming a Master Trainer in Neuro-Linguistic training (NLP). In hopes of helping a family member with substance abuse, this year I became a certified facilitator for Smart Recovery, both for people who suffer with addiction, but also for friends and family members.
With a specialty dealing with Middle/High School students and families, as well as adults transitioning in relationships, employment, and personal loss, I am well-equipped to help anyone looking for assistance in school issues, loss, transitioning, or searching for life purpose, to name a few.
It is only when the desire to change exceeds the desire to remain the same, that we begin the incredible discovery of “self” and recognize our enormous potential. I am thrilled to work alongside you as I share the tools to navigate change with clarity and confidence.
