    I love working with people as a coach because it uses all of my professional skills and talents. When I am coaching someone, I offer:   | 
   
  
    
      - The listening skills I have honed during my three decades years as a psychotherapist;
 
         
 
      - The creativity that I bring to my role as a passionate and dedicated teacher of personal growth writing;
 
         
       
      - The focus and determination of a person who has managed to write and publish two successful books while practicing psychotherapy, giving presentations, teaching and classes, and being a wife, stepparent and grandparent.

          WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU 
           
            COACHING 
            
              
                -  Do you just want to be writing, painting or creating 
 
                  but don’t know how to take the first step? 
                   
                 
                - Do you have a project, thesis, dissertation, article 
 
                  or book you can’t quite finish writing? 
                   
                 
                - Are you having trouble managing your time and 
 
                  balancing your work, family and creative life? 
                   
                 
                - Do you find yourself procrastinating instead of 
 
                  writing? 
                   
                 
                - Is your manuscript buried in a pile or are your 
 
                  notes missing in action somewhere in your office? 
               
             
             
              Then our Coach Approach may be for you!  You will work in a practical, focused and co-active (working with you) way to get unstuck, organized and productive.  
            Because I am both a psychotherapist and a coach, I know how to help when old feelings get in the way. Together we will use both coaching and short-term therapeutic techniques as needed to help you resolve those feelings and get creative again!   |
