How Coaching Can Help

Life coaching can help people in a variety of ways by providing guidance, support, and tools to help them achieve their goals, overcome challenges, and create a more fulfilling life. Here are some ways in which life coaching can be beneficial:

1. Goal Setting and Clarity: Life coaches help individuals identify their goals and aspirations, whether they are related to career, relationships, personal development, health, or other areas of life. Coaches assist in clarifying these goals and breaking them down into actionable steps.
   
2. Action Planning: Coaches help clients create actionable plans to achieve their goals. They assist in setting priorities, defining strategies, and developing timelines, making the journey towards their goals more organized and manageable.
   
3. Accountability: Life coaches provide a level of accountability that can be difficult to maintain on one's own. Regular check-ins with a coach help clients stay focused, motivated, and on track toward their goals.
   
4. Personal Development: Coaches work with individuals to enhance their self-awareness, identify strengths and areas for growth, and develop strategies for personal improvement. This can lead to increased self-confidence, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
5. Overcoming Challenges: Life coaches assist clients in identifying and overcoming obstacles that might be holding them back. By providing different perspectives and strategies, coaches help individuals navigate challenges more effectively.
6. Decision Making: Coaches help clients make more informed and thoughtful decisions by exploring their values, beliefs, and priorities. This can lead to better decision-making and a sense of alignment with one's true self.
7. Improved Communication: Coaches often work on improving communication skills, both personally and professionally. This can help individuals build healthier relationships, navigate conflicts, and express themselves more effectively.
8. Time Management: Coaches assist in optimizing time management skills, helping clients balance their various responsibilities and prioritize tasks effectively.
9. Reducing Stress: Through techniques such as mindfulness, stress management strategies, and reframing perspectives, coaches can help clients reduce stress and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
10. Career Development: Coaches can provide guidance on career exploration, job transitions, and professional development. They can help individuals align their career choices with their personal values and long-term aspirations.
11. Work-Life Balance: Coaches help clients find a healthy balance between their personal and professional lives, fostering overall well-being and preventing burnout.
12. Building Confidence: Coaches work on boosting self-esteem and confidence, empowering individuals to take on challenges and pursue their goals with a positive mindset.
13. Achieving Personal Fulfillment: Life coaches support clients in creating a life that aligns with their passions, values, and desires, ultimately leading to a greater sense of fulfillment and happiness.

It's important to note that life coaching is a collaborative process, and the benefits can vary depending on the individual's commitment, openness, and engagement in the coaching process. Coaches provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and aspirations while offering guidance and strategies for personal growth and development.

About Me

I am originally from KY and lived there until my early 20s. I am a military veteran and was active duty Air Force overseas from 2006 to 2012. I moved to Abilene in 2012 when my husband got stationed at Dyess AFB. We have one son, Ethan. I was a licensed professional counselor from 2017 to 2022.

Services

My clients enjoy the convenience of an exclusive online portal designed to cater to their diverse needs. This platform serves as a hub for various activities, including scheduling, maintaining private digital journals, and tracking tasks and goals. The extent to which clients engage with these features varies based on their individual preferences.

Additionally, my clients benefit from easy access to my dedicated Coach App on their smartphones. This app is a treasure trove of invaluable information and resources that enhance their coaching journey, both during and after the process. Moreover, clients have the flexibility to submit a Check-In form, allowing them to provide updates on their progress between sessions and ensure continuous support.

Coach Style

At the heart of my approach lies a deep commitment to being person-centered. This involves not only active listening but also the art of posing thought-provoking questions that guide clients toward insightful revelations. Empowering clients to prioritize actionable steps is a cornerstone of my practice. I recognize that internal hurdles often hinder personal growth; my role is to help individuals navigate these barriers, even when they stem from sources like fear. It's truly remarkable how once the focus shifts toward growth, the landscape of positive transformation begins to unfold.

I approach my client interactions with unwavering authenticity and candor, delivered in a constructive manner that propels change while nurturing and honoring their inherent worth. The partnership I forge with my clients is a deeply cherished aspect of my work. I am dedicated in my commitment to accompany them on their journey, regardless of the duration, until they stand exactly where they aspire to be.

Sessions

Prospective clients have the opportunity to schedule a free consultation session, enabling them to delve into the coaching program and assess its suitability. Individual sessions, with a duration of approximately an hour, are exclusively available through private payment. The fee structure operates on a sliding scale, spanning from $60 to $80 per session. Flexibility is integral, and customized pricing discussions can be tailored to individual circumstances.

While session frequency remains at the discretion of the client, I recommend a minimum of one session per month to foster consistent progress. Clients have the option of either in person, online, or phone sessions.

My session calendar boasts remarkable flexibility, catering to diverse schedules. I am available on Mondays (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM), Thursdays (4:30 PM - 8:30 PM), Fridays (4:30 PM - 8:30 PM), and Sundays (12:00 PM - 6:00 PM). Clients also retain the liberty to propose alternate days and times as needed. Generally, accommodating such requests is feasible and rarely poses an issue.
