"He knows the “why” for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any “how.”
Victor Frankl
About your Coach
I founded Skills for Intentional Living, a Life Coaching practice, out of an inspiration to provide an alternative to counseling and therapy. Many individuals approached me throughout the years to intercede in the area of relationship or individual challenges they were experiencing. The conversations that took place brought participants to heightened awareness and clarity where there was difficulty beforehand. This access served as a conduit for constructive changes in people’s lives. It was apparent they did not require counseling or therapy, instead a personal forum of sorts, where they could explore their intentions and discover what the interferences were in arriving at desired outcomes. The conversations were distinct from ones we have with ourselves and perhaps even a close friend; they offered an opportunity for self reflection like no other.My aim is to work with individuals and families to share the skills that have afforded me personal growth when I most needed it. My most authentic state when coaching is one of humility, nonjudgmental awareness and deep respect for clients who have the courage to explore this method of the unfolding process.
