About My Ideal Clients
Help With Hard Life Changes
Down With Labels
I love working with all kinds of people, regardless of how they label themselves, or are labeled. I have never fit into boxes created by others and I especially enjoy those who don’t fit the norm.
Not loving labels means I work with married, single, divorced, widowed, gay, straight and people of all backgrounds, but they share some commonalities,
They are most often midlife or older women. They may be in pain because of loss and hard life changes, or are anticipating big changes they want help with. They are also tired of hurting, of being dissatisfied, of not making progress, and they want badly to live their lives differently.
I also still work with adults who have adoption loss issues and grief, though that is no longer my primary practice.
While it’s true that most of my clients tend to be women, I can certainly work with men and have gotten many glowing recommendations from my male clients.
I mainly work with mature people, in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s or beyond, but my attitude and style sometimes also attracts younger people. It’s very important that we have a conversation to ensure that we’re a good fit, so that you, the prospective client, will be able to make the progress you desire and deserve when you engage my coaching services. I have a ton of experience working with people of all ages, due to my previous non-profit career.
More Characteristics
I enjoy working with people who are honest, real and not caught up in fads. I am, however, open to the depth and breadth of human experiences, and to individuals from all walks of life. If you want to work with me, you have to be ready and able to invest in yourself and to do the work to reach your goal or goals. You have to be ready to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You have to be ready to start liking/loving yourself by finding and acknowledging your strengths and by taking pride in the new ones you will be building. You have to be ready to take some risks and to stop blaming others for your pain and/or lack of success.
I feel that the women I tend to work with are often people who give so much. We can lose our true sense of selves, our passions and purpose along the way. We get used to believing that life doesn’t hold more for us. We keep setting aside our dreams and goals. We even forget what they were. We may get in the habit of believing that our troubles and misfortune are what our lives are all about. We have so often been taught to be people-pleasers and not to pay attention to what we need or want. That can manifest in our personal and professional roles.
