My educational background includes a B.S. in Psychology, University of Maryland Global Campus; M.S. in General Counseling, Troy University; and a Post Graduate Certificate in Life Coaching, Grand Canyon University. Now, I'm eager to use my knowledge and experience helping you accomplish your goals.

Reasons to hire a Life Coach
Feeling stuck:
The number one reported reason that people hire a life coach is because they are feeling stuck. Maybe they had a recent life or career transition and they aren’t sure which path to follow next. Or perhaps they have experienced a trauma that has left them paralyzed to take steps forward. Even positive changes have the ability to cause fear and paralysis.
Transitions of any kind can challenge people in ways that are difficult to manage without outside help. It can put into questions their abilities, their confidence and feelings. When this occurs, it is not uncommon for people to remain in place, staying “stuck” until the situation changes and the path forward is clear.
They need help following their dreams:
Many people have goals and dreams that remain dormant, sometimes for their entire lives. The expectations of society or their families keep them following the safe path rather than exploring something that seems like a risk or is outside of the norm.
No matter the size of their goal, there is a reason why they haven’t moved forward with it. People who have finally decided that it’s time to follow their own dreams may seek a coach to help them clarify the goal and take steps to achieve it.
They want results:
Some people have already made a commitment to their goals but need help staying accountable. Defining their goal is an important first step, but what follows is a great deal of hard work, dedication and motivation.
Even the most enthusiastic goal-setters experience setbacks. They may get sidetracked by life demands or by old thought patterns that have reemerged. They find themselves getting distracted by the next shiny object in their path, forgetting that they have made a commitment to themselves.
Life coaches can help them stay on track by providing support, structure, and accountability. Together we can develop a plan of action for when setbacks occur, because they will happen.
