“One of the most common misconceptions about life coaching is that it is therapy in disguise — or, worse yet, therapy from an unlicensed practitioner. In reality, life coaching is truly its own unique service designed to help ambitious achievers meet the outcomes that will bring them success and fulfillment, in any and all areas of life. Here are some of the differences between life coaching and therapy, and a basic guide for when each service is appropriate.”     -Tony Robbins

Coaching “partners with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe, and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources and creativity that the client already has.”       – International Coach Federation  (ICF)

Paula Padget Baylor, a graduate student adviser in Eastern University’s Counseling and Psychology Department says “coaching is more focused on the present and the future,

Baylor “explains that coaches generally work on four areas with clients:

• Defining goals
• Formulating a plan that will use the client’s skills
• Holding the client accountable for progress
• Providing structure, encouragement, and support

“Through coaching, clients can learn how to use healthy and helpful ways of navigating through life,” she says.”

“Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, is a form of treatment aimed at relieving emotional distress and mental health problems. Provided by any of a variety of trained professionals—psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, or licensed counselors—it involves talking about, examining, and gaining insight into difficulties faced by individuals, couples, or families.

There is a wide array of modalities that therapists employ, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, systems-based therapy, and more to connect human minds. Many therapists use a combination of approaches, all of which have as their goal relief of suffering and achievement of healthy functioning in the present and the future.

Most therapies in wide use have been well-tested and found effective. As with all trained professionals, individual therapists may add their own flourishes to established treatment protocols. Though therapy can sometimes be difficult to seek out—especially for those of low-income or with inadequate insurance—many who have found a supportive therapist report that the experience has been beneficial for their mental health and overall well-being.”

YES! I have always wanted better and been open to finding solutions to achieve my goals. Along the way, however, I have experienced insecurity and many ineffective products, schemes, and gimmicks.  My approach to helping you change is based on strategies that incorporate my learning from my failures and successes along with proven methodologies.

Habits and mindsets are difficult to change but possible to those who refuse to settle and are willing to give it their ALL every day.

HELP and SUPPORT! I am passionate about helping others because I have lived both ends of the spectrum and concluded that becoming the best version of me has enriched my relationships, afforded me to reach goals, built my confidence, and given me a platform and voice to be heard.
