8D Life Coaching

THE COACHING

I am a life coach offering a holistic approach to empower others to bring their dreams to fruition. My mission is to help adults transition through life changes by working through their discomfort and ambivalence to move from a place of complacency and stagnation to self fulfillment and actualization.

I work with clients to:

Identify their mission or purpose in their current life phase to bridge who they are today with who they want to be in the future
Identify values and strengths to connect who they are with how they want to live
Identify patterns and blindspots keeping them in fear or limiting beliefs
Move from a problem focused mindset to a growth focused mindset by focusing on what is within their control of influence
Evaluate and build work and life processes to align with their mission and strengths to live more fully and intentionally
Create weekly action plans made up of clear deliverables to measure progress directly linked to their longer term smarter goals
Celebrate success and achievements disproving old beliefs

I use my professional background in mental health, my nontraditional approach to life, and my lived experience growing up in a chaotic environment to help others overcome life’s barriers and work through life's transitions. In my coaching practice, I draw inspiration from the 8 dimensions of health outlined by SAMHSA. This model describes true wellness as more than just physical health. It's about nurturing every aspect of your being: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, occupational, environmental, spiritual, and financial. I encourage focusing on 1-3 dimensions at a time, recognizing that sustainable growth often comes from targeted efforts and gradual progress. Whether you're seeking guidance in overcoming challenges, embracing change, or exploring the depths of your own potential, I'm here to support you every step of the way. This alternative approach will help you identify limiting beliefs to break old habits and change thinking patterns. My coaching focuses on facing your stagnation by shining light on blindspots and getting you out of your comfort zone so you can begin living the life you want - starting today!

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the gold standard in the coaching industry and defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership. We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.

DISCLAIMER - COACHING IS NOT COUNSELING OR CONSULTING

Coaching and Counseling have different goals, objectives, rules, regulations, licenses, and certifications to maintain.

See below for a quick overview of the differences as it relates to coaching and consulting.

COACHING

is a client-driven process focusing on the present and moving toward the future. Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching in not clinical. They do not diagnose or treat conditions.

COUNSELING

emphasizes psychopathology of conditions, including diagnosis and treatment. Focusing on analyzing and processing the past to understand the present, it works to develop skills and understanding for managing emotions or past issues. While I am not able to provide this service, I have supported clients in finding the appropriate resources for their situations.
