Glad you asked!
I offer life coaching services to a wide variety of clients. Some of my clients have grown out of touch with their own needs, values and desires. Others feel lost and sad after a recent change in their lives. This could be a recent move to the area, a debilitating health concern or a death in the family, just to name a few. I also work with clients who are new to the United States and need some support in making this country their new home. Since I immigrated from Germany 19 years ago with my husband, I understand your challenges and concerns. Sessions can be held in English or in German.

As Your Coach
I promise I will be centered, attentive and listen deeply to what you have to say. My coaching room will be a non-judgmental space! I will ask open questions and share my insights and intuition if you wish to hear them. Thinking out of the box is a coaching tool I like to use. By helping you to look at situations from many different angles, we will be able to expand your choices and possibilities. A big part of the coaching process is that in each session together we come up with fieldwork, which you will agree to work on between sessions. That fieldwork will help you move forward in getting you closer to your goals, step by step. I will hold you accountable, provide motivation if requested, and keep you on task in case you wander off. I will be your vision keeper.
It is important to me that you know exactly what coaching is
and how it differs from therapy!
and how it differs from therapy!
What is Coaching?
The client is the expert of his own life and the coach is the expert in the coaching process. The coach believes the client is whole, competent, capable, creative and resourceful and you have the power to create the life you want to live. Coaching uses the past experiences only as learning opportunities and stays in the present to create a fuller and richer live. It is a very positive and forward moving process, where I as your coach am your biggest positive supporter and vision keeper.
What is Therapy?
A therapist is an expert who helps clients with mental health issues. The client comes to seek advice about something which is happening right now in his/her life or has happened in the past and usually involves emotional symptoms. The client describes the experiences and feelings he/she has and the therapist will analyze and diagnose them and suggest a therapy approach. Therapy can help you by reliving difficult situations from your past and adjusting your attitudes toward them.
