I would describe my coaching approach as solution focused utilizing cognitive behavioral techniques without the clinical side. I don't diagnose. I don't treat. Instead, I help people reinvent how they think, feel and behave. What does that mean? I ask a lot of questions and I listen; we break down your answers and together we engineer an approach to start working toward your goal(s). We work together to equip you with a utility belt of systems and solutions. Along the way, we will celebrate improvement, revise where and when necessary and lastly, work towards self-awareness, change, and growth.
