About Kathy
After teaching for 10 years and practicing as a licensed counselor for 15 years, the desire to help people identify outcomes they are working toward and identify solutions to reach those outcomes drove me to change my practice. The purpose of my work is to help you identify outcomes you are looking for, identify the solutions you are looking for to reach them, as well as to learn to tolerate conflict and differences in relationships while staying emotionally connected. My goal as a Life Coach, Relationship Coach, and Divorce Coach is to facilitate healthy and satisfying relationships, self-understanding, spiritual connection, and the process of reaching your full potential. While this can be an extremely challenging task, I am very driven toward facing this challenge as a Life Coach, Relationship Coach, and Divorce Coach.
Using a format of sessions via telehealth (video or phone), I take a direct approach and invite you to do the same. The coach/client relationship is an intimate one, and I believe that in order for an intimate relationship to be successful, it must be real. Thus, while integrating empathy and building trust as I listen to you, I will sometimes challenge you and I encourage you to challenge me. It is my belief that coaches and clients are collaborative partners in the this process. My objective is to provide services to you that will facilitate you in reaching your goals. I will provide you with my recommendations in regard to the goals you wish to reach based upon information that you provide as well as my observations as a coach. Coaching does not provide the guarantee that you will reach your goals; the level of success achieved during your journey relies in large part on your commitment to consistently work toward positive change in your life.
