MY FOCUS
RELOCATION COACHING
I have moved with my family many times, so I have experienced firsthand the stress associated with relocation. A move from one state to another can be particularly stressful. I can help you and your family create a plan that enables you to adjust and integrate into a new community.
CAREER TRANSITIONS
In this economy, people will change jobs, and careers may change over a lifetime. No longer will you stay with the same company during a lifetime of working. Navigating in this economy requires new skills and flexibility that are learned. You do not inherit these skills from your parents as they had a different kind of work life. I can help you build the skills that will enable you to make these transitions effectively.
ADJUSTING TO RETIREMENT
A change from being employed to being retired is a life-changing experience requiring the restructuring of time and relationships. It takes time and thought to build a new life after leaving the life you have spent years of experience. I can help you move from one life situation to another.
MARRIAGE AND MARRIAGE RECONCILIATION
Marriage problems are most often problems in communication. I can train you in the skills that you need to communicate with your partner. Suppose you are have already separated looking towards divorce but are leaving the option of reconciliation open. In that case, I can help you decide whether to move ahead with the divorce or develop a strategy that leads to a reconciliation.
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING
Unwinding a relationship and moving ahead to another relationship can be stressful and requires a step-by-step approach. Whether it is unwinding a marriage, a relationship with a significant other, or a child leaving home for adult life, a high level of stress accompanies the effort. I can help you manage this stress and create a new life on the other side. I can help you improve existing relationships through a process of skills development, analysis, and guidance.
DIVORCE
Divorce coaching is a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through a divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns. I cannot provide you with legal advice but I can help you separate emotions from the business of divorce and work with you to think and communicate rationally during the process rather than emotionally. I can help you set reasonable and fair goals for the divorce settlement process and encouraging cooperation rather than unnecessary conflict.​
DEATH OF A SIGNIFICANT OTHER OR CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER
CHANGE IN HEALTH OF A FAMILY MEMBER
The loss of a loved one is one of life's most stressful events. Moving on with your life is a complicated process that often requires support. My coaching process is designed to help you set goals after a devastating loss. Grief coaching is not the same as grief therapy, as I focus on action and defining the necessary steps of building a new life after losing a life partner, spouse, child, or anyone important in your life.
A significant change in a family member's health disrupts family dynamics and requires action steps by all parties affected that lead to a new level of stabilization. Examples of coaching services include: assisting in developing and initiating a recovery plan of action, giving advice and support on accomplishing day-to-day tasks, and motivating through hope and vision.
