Why I transitioned from Counseling to Coaching
As a licensed professional Counselor, I recognize the need for therapy and its critical and powerful impact on one’s life. Therapy is a way of working with patients suffering from different mental health disorders—these range from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, among others.
Therapists work with patients to heal, cope, and return to a functioning baseline. Learning strategies and exploring emotions and behaviors are at the center of the therapeutic relationship.Coaching is different in that it focuses on highly specific goals depending on the client’s needs.
As a transformational/mindset coach, I work with clients’ thinking and behaviors that are preventing them from achieving goals or leveling up in areas of their lives. Often, these are rooted in the subconscious mind.
This is where my secret sauce comes in. Through my clinical training, I am skilled at not only listening to what is being said but also hearing what is not!
For over 20 years as a trauma specialist, I have worked with victims of trauma to heal and move past the unthinkable. I use these skills today to identify faulty and limiting thinking, which is the root cause of preventing clients from getting the results they want in life. Coaching with a therapeutic style provides a safe, empathetic space for a journey that will produce real results. I have shifted into the coaching space to recognize individuals are abundantly more than a diagnosis or baseline of functioning. We are intended to grow beyond our wildest dreams and break through the glass ceilings in our lives like never before!
As a coach, I help women rewrite their scripts to live their Divine Purpose. I work with women who feel stuck on the proverbial hamster wheel. I will help you release your old mindset and renew your thinking. In your transformation, you will experience a changed life with clarity on your purpose and what’s next. By discovering your Divine Purpose, you can step into who you were created to be and live authentically in alignment, creating a spiritual path and learning to trust God’s voice. You will reclaim your time by removing what no longer serves you. With clarity, focus, and an intentional mindset, we rewrite your internal dialogue to remove self-defeating thinking, develop a growth mindset, and move forward.
