About

My practice is called Life is Change because we are temporal creatures – we experience time.

Life is always happening and change is always taking place whether we remain aware of it or not. I help you to set your intentions and direct the change in your life.

I have worked effectively with and counseled a wide range of persons, including people of all genders, of varying ethnic and cultural backgrounds, ranging in age, and with a diverse set of interests and circumstances living all over the world.

As human beings we are often extreme creatures of habit – and often continue to do that which is most familiar over that which is most beneficial. Many of us are imbued with contradictions – however those contradictions are also part of what make us interesting and reflect the richness of our individuality.

It is possible to attain health and balance with mind, body and soul, to develop positive relationships and to spend your time doing things that matter to you. You can thrive.

—You can live with purpose.
—You can bring things from your imagination to life.
—You can overcome inertia.
—You can let go of self-limiting beliefs.
—You are more than your story.
—You are more than all the things you are attached to and that are attached to you. You are a unique being capable of letting go of that which does not serve you and opening space for your true self to emerge.

What I offer

I Offer 4 Kinds of Coaching:

I support you as an individual and help you unpack the components of your life and the relationships that shape your reality.

—Are you struggling with a narcissistic parent or old wounds?
—Are you in a partnership where you feel unseen or taken for granted?
—Do you wish to have a better life-work balance?
—Are you able to self-care? Express yourself creatively?

You can make key shifts in your lifestyle, build healthier relationships, and let go of self-limiting voices. I help you gain clarity, find your own truth, and move forward. If you're working through painful confusion, I'll support you for however long you need.

Tell me your story. Be heard. Direct the change.

What do you want to accomplish? Who is it for? Why does it matter? Whether for-profit or not — many principles of success are the same.

Together we will:

—Explore and clarify your vision.
—Develop a strategy.
—Identify a tactical plan.
—Monitor and course-correct as needed.

We'll identify your audience, develop your brand, and communicate your uniqueness. Let's bring it to life.

I'll help you identify where you are and where you want to be — whether that means moving forward in your current field or shifting to something new.

We'll review your experience, sharpen your interview skills, refine your resume, and expand your network. I'll also help you research industries, leverage LinkedIn, and identify any gaps in training.

If you feel stuck, I'm good at finding new possibilities you haven't considered yet — and supporting you through them.

I work with artists, creatives, and people building lives on their own terms — from singer-songwriters and digital artists to PhD candidates, healers, and creative entrepreneurs.

People who “Are What They Do” face a unique challenge: how to be self-generative, do the work, and still generate the resources to sustain it.

I'll help you find where you are with your work, expand your reach, develop your voice, and build a fully integrated life around what matters most to you.

How I Work

There are many modalities that involve counseling, personal dialog and one-on-one interaction.

Collaborative

I become “Team-You”. My role is to help you figure out what you need to figure out – and then go from there.

Safe Space

I provide a safe container for you to share. I am non-judgmental. I ask a lot of questions and am an active listener. I will be proactive and fully engaged with you. It’s your time and you are always in charge.

Whole Being

While it is useful at times to compartmentalize aspects of your life, I will always see you as a whole being. Wherever you go, there you are.

Ongoing

I provide that place where you can go to be heard and to explore any aspect of your life — for a specific focus area, or for everything. I have gotten people through grief, divorces, PhD dissertations and so much more.

Why Coaching

Coaching is just one label for a broad range of one-on-one dialog.

Most people benefit from one-on-one counseling. Even well-intended friends and family struggle to be objective — they have their own history with you.

A good one-on-one dialog offers a safe space to tell your story without judgment, with someone who can be objective while also understanding the unique conditions of your life.

Coaching is also practical — for career, business, and non-profit work. The best coaches bring real experience, help you build a strategic plan, and hold a genuine belief in your capacity to thrive.

Session Details

I offer maximum flexibility.

I’m a bit like an old fashioned ‘country doc’ with his black bag down the road. I know you, I’m very flexible and can often be available on short notice. Sometimes I have a great 90-minute session with someone on a Monday and after a few days they get wobbly and need a ‘booster’ — so we just hop on the phone for 17 minutes and get realigned. I track time and pro-rate.

Scheduling

Flexible

I do scheduled times and can offer a regular slot. I’m also very flexible and can often be available on short notice.

Duration

As needed

A full session is 90 minutes. You can also schedule in 30-minute increments, or just hop on for 15–20 minutes with no obligation. I track time and pro-rate.

Format

Phone or in person

Just hop on the phone or meet in person — whatever works for you and the moment.

Availability

7 days a week

I’m available 7 days a week and most hours — with advance scheduling or in a short-term crisis. I’m a bit like an old fashioned ‘country doc’ with his black bag down the road. I know you, and I’m here when you need me.

Commitment

Your pace

Some people work with me for a specific focus area. Others for their entire life stream. You set the pace and scope.

Payment

Flexible

I accept PayPal, Venmo, cash, and once I know you, check. If budget is tight, let’s talk — I’ll do my best to find an arrangement that works.
