My combination of academic training and real life experience in both the workplace and the coaching-consulting world provide the framework for helping clients find the most effective routes to the life changes they seek.

My primary tool for helping clients grow through their challenges and optimize their opportunities is a combination of cognitive-behavioral and coaching techniques. Both of these tools utilize goal orientation and measurable outcomes.

These practical approaches often lead to significant change/growth in a relatively short period of time, weeks or months rather than years.

I believe that the challenges of one’s personal life and the challenges of the work world are interrelated. I am interested in exploring both venues in our conversations. Often, skills and competencies honed  through our work together are useful and appropriate in both venues.
