Individual Life Coaching
The field of coaching allows me to facilitate growth and offer my expertise well beyond the state of Washington.
A good coach isn’t there to give advice. Rather, she will help you discover your own answers. She will help you gain awareness around your unique strengths and growing edges, deeply accept all of who you are, and utilize all of what is available to you to make the very most of your life.
On a very basic level, all creatures are the same. They exist within an environment, they have needs arise, they go into the environment to meet their needs and thereafter they return to an even baseline - or homeostasis. This is a process of self-regulation which is inherent to all living things. Simple creatures have a simple process, and more complex creatures have a more complex process. Human beings are presumably the most complex of all organisms because we are meaning-making, and thus our self-regulation process can get interrupted in many different ways.
I see myself as a sophisticated mirror: I reflect what I see - often from a new and different perspective to facilitate awareness and illuminate interruptions to your own self-regulation and fulfillment in life.
Dating and Relationship Coaching
Dating and relationships can be hard and navigating this world can feel confusing at best and exceptionally lonely at worst.
We have to cultivate the relationships we want. If we want relationships that are kind, direct, respectful, and authentic, we are responsible for showing up with those qualities.
But perhaps the more difficult part is kindly and respectfully knowing and holding boundaries while creating and nurturing our relationships.
The word “boundary” is a Zeitgeist-level buzzword. Social media creators have their fingers on this pulse and and pushing out all sorts of content (with varying quality) on this topic. But what exactly do we mean by the word boundary? A boundary is where one thing ends and another begins. Simply put, your boundary is what is fully within your realm of control and responsibility. Your words, your feelings, your actions in the world. Nothing less and nothing more. Knowing and kindly communicating your boundaries is key to cultivating the type of relationships you want.
Sometimes this gets tangled with fears of rejection or loss, sometimes it is tangled with old relationship habits and styles. I will support you while you explore yourself and gain skills in the process of developing new relationships while dating, or working on more established ones.
