Clinical Social Worker and A Social Work Professor, Author, Poet And Speaker
Let’s work together to focus on your professional development, personal growth, & self-care!
Why Coaching? Because…“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together” ~ African Proverb
The work we will do together is the work of possibilities & transformation. A positive mindset, self-compassion, and creativity are the building blocks that support professional development, personal growth, and self-care. Most of us, at some point or another, find ourselves overwhelmed, stressed, worried, or just plain tired of trying to balance all that life has thrown our way. It may feel like no matter how diligent and proactive you are, there are too responsibilities clambering for your attention. Sometimes, you just feel stuck, and negative, & we can’t see what’s possible or what’s next.
It can seem impossible to make time for professional development and personal growth. But, in fact, it is POSSIBLE! And you don’t have to ‘go it alone’! Intentionally devoting time to thinking out loud, being in dialogue with someone outside of your daily life, being heard, and getting support from others, is a wise step toward your well-being.
I provided coaching services rooted in and drawing from attitudes ofhope, resilience, creativity, innovation, and inspiration. In my work as a coach, educator, supervisor, and clinical social worker, I employ practices informed by positive psychology, Seligman’s PERMA theory of well-being, mindfulness, experiential practices, and expressive arts, including poetry therapy, journaling, creativity, music, and practices of self-compassion, kindness, and gratitude – all powerful and transformational tools for professional development, personal growth, and well-being.
My gift as a person, coach, and clinical social worker is my ability to be fully present, deliberate, and engaged with you and your professional development. I bring 34 years of social work practice and 19 years of teaching in higher education & experience to my work. I am especially skilled at creating connected relationships in which I set the stage for clients to take calculated risks, create a meaningful work-life, and grow into their best personal and professional selves.
