Coaching Style:

My approach to coaching focuses on assisting individuals in determining their short and long-term goals, then providing guidance in making choices that support these goals as well as personal and professional needs. My goal is to help individuals identify and take ownership of their needs, which will be impactful on their success and happiness.
