I enjoy guiding overachievers, intelligent eccentrics, and socially/ecologically conscious people toward creating lives that express their ideals more authentically and powerfully. The result for the individual can be life-changing. With an increased level of personal awareness and happiness, one’s ability and motivation to positively impact the world can increase considerably. From my office based in Pittsburgh, PA, I provide phone-based strategic life and career coaching, consulting and classes. I welcome clients from any location. I also conduct indoor and outdoor (nature-based) workshops and presentations, and am available for customized services upon request.

Do you wish to create a sustainable life with more work-life balance, fun, wellness, or direction while also contributing your talents to the world?

Perhaps you’re working long hours or self-sacrificing in other ways, finding it difficult to accomplish what’s important to you and not just what seems necessary. Maybe you are overwhelmed and stressed by the pace of your life. Maybe you’re at an important life or career transition point and need help figuring out which path ahead is the right one for you. Perhaps you’ve given up on some of your ideals, dreams or creative talents, and wish to bring them back into your life. Maybe you’d like to separate what you know in your core that you want to do from what you feel like you should do.

Drawing from a combined background in coaching, counseling, and public policy/ management, I strive to help you recognize and leverage your resources, strengths, and potential. Through the encouraging coaching process, you define and create what’s really important to you, organizing your life and pursuing your ideals in a more integrated and authentic fashion.

The primary catalyst of your positive change process will be our weekly phone conversations, when we review progress on what’s most important to you, explore any barriers, apply learning, develop or maintain clarity on what you want, and strategize the next steps toward your desired results. Depending upon your starting point, we may also engage in structured self-discovery exercises to “expose your Authentic Side” – purpose, values and strengths. You may already have very specific goals you wish to achieve, or you may wish to start by gaining additional clarity on what you  want to improve in your life, and what you hope to gain from your coaching experience.

You will set much of the agenda and pace. You are trying and learning new things between our sessions.

Please contact me to set up an introductory strategic life coaching consultation. I look forward to learning more about you!

If you own or manage an organization (private, public or nonprofit), and would like to involve your employees in life coaching or a presentation/workshop, please contact me to discuss your specific needs.
