Are you feeling stuck? Does your life seem to be on hold? Are you struggling with worries & anxiety or sadness & depression? Are you facing a relationship challenge with your spouse, your child, a collegue or friend? Or do you have health concerns such as allergies, stress, weight, etc? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Health & Life Coaching offers you an effective method for resolving your problems & realizing your goals. In helping you, my focus will be on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you hope to be in the future.
The following steps typically characterize this collaborative process: 1. Develop a mutual understanding of your concerns; 2. Establish short-term goals to provide a sense of direction; 3. Consider long-term goals to explore hopes, dreams, & aspirations; 4. Identify strengths & resources to mobilize motivation; 5. Explore steps to reaching goals & resolving problems.
My approach is informed by a number of therapeutic models (Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Health Psychology, NLP, Positive Psychology, & Solution-Oriented Brief Therapy) as well as research on neuroscience, social & emotional intelligence. I've also designed numerous training programs that aid people in improving their health and enhancing the quality of their lives (see groups listed below).
