Life and Leadership Coaching

I have been coaching, teaching, and mentoring for several years through my professional network; holding psychologically safe spaces where participants and clients deprogram self-limiting beliefs, discover hidden talents, define personal boundaries, and deploy life strategies for thriving in any environment. Now, I am a certified life coach providing those services through my private practice and internal leadership coach helping clients improve performance, define a personal brand, and enhance leadership abilities. 

Like many life coaches, I often use a Wheel of Life Assessment to help clients gain a holistic snapshot of their lives and determine areas that require attention. This tool has helped many clients identify imbalances and disharmony in key life domains such as career, finances, relationships, health, and personal development.

The assessment can serve as a powerful self-reflection tool for setting meaningful goals and defining priorities by visualizing your life’s dimensions. It can help with pinpointing sources of stress or dissatisfaction, enabling most clients to make informed decisions about where to allocate their time and energy.

Wheel of Life Assessment

Mental Fitness Coaching

In early 2020, I was invited to participate in a three-month, intensive coach training program conducted by Shirzad Chamine, and based on the tools provided in his book entitled, Positive Intelligence. The experience transformed my practice and has been life-changing for my clients.

Utilizing his guidance, personal techniques, and trademarked tools, I now help clients discover what is sabotaging or getting in the way of achieving their intentions. My clients and I work on mental muscle-building techniques that help them better manage stress and conflict and improve wellness and productivity.

Take the assessments below, then let me show you how to rewire your brain at the root level rather than addressing the symptoms of your stress.

Your Positivity Quotient (PQ)

Your PQ score measures your mental fitness or ability to handle life’s stressors without frustration, mental stress, and similar negative emotions.

Determine Your Saboteurs

Get insight into your top saboteurs or the voices in your head that generate the negative emotions that “sabotage” your relationships, performance, and well-being. Saboteur behavior like Victim, Pleaser, and Hyper-achiever can obscure self-view and derail personal goals.

These assessments and related tools are based on research using factor analysis to discover the core factors that impact both performance and well-being. This ultimately results in your ability to better enjoy relationships and respond instead of react to life’s challenges.


Certified Trauma-Informed Coaching

As a trauma-informed certified coach (TICC), I am trained in care methods that aid clients in reclaiming a sense of self when activated or triggered, gaining self-mastery of the “situation,” or practicing tools or techniques such as self-regulation, self-resourcing, and resiliency.

A trauma-informed approach integrates and incorporates an understanding of trauma into the coaching process. Coaches are not therapists; nor do they work with anyone who would be better served by therapy alone. However, as a trauma-informed coach, I am sensitive to presentations of trauma and work with the 5Rs Whole Person Model, to Recognize, Relate, Respond, Regulate, and help clients find personal Resources.

The infographic below discusses and illustrates how trauma can affect your “window of tolerance:”

As a Coach, I do not treat trauma. I assist clients in understanding their recovery process and finding their own resources. As a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), you can trust me to maintain the strictest Standards of Ethical Conduct and confidentiality. Because a growing percentage of my clients require this level of support, my online client platform is HIPAA-compliant.

Lived Experience

My mentor and trainer once said, “you really cannot take a client where you have never been” and my clients benefit from the wisdom of my lived experience, navigating difficult conversations, and complex conditions to achieve my own personal and professional success. Read more about me and choose the link above to book a complementary consultation with me.
