My education and experience far exceed that of most coaches, who may have only taken a brief online certification course before trying to sell you their services. Many have very little work experience in the real world and haven't walked in your shoes.
As for me, I have worked in many settings with diverse individuals, groups, and organizations. I earned an M.S. degree in counseling from the University of North Texas and a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University-Commerce.
I'm also certified as a Chaplain, which many clients find valuable in working through the spiritual aspects of their work life.
No, coaching is NOT therapy.
Psychotherapy is usually long-term and often focuses on the past, while coaching is briefer and more future oriented.
A therapist diagnoses and treats mental health conditions, using a medical model and focusing on clinical symptoms of impairment.
In contrast, a coach works on a consultation basis with clients who are emotionally and psychologically stable and focused on personal and professional development. Coaching is strengths-focused, action-oriented, and emphasizes accomplishing specific goals.
I live in a rural area with my husband (The Nicest Man On The Planet) and my dog and cat. I am a mom of adult children and a grandma. My favorite things are books, plants, music, mountains, and cheesecake. I'm a middle child, an introvert, and a Jesus girl.
My top 5 on the Gallup CliftonStrengths are: Connectedness, Learner, Intellection, Input, and Deliberative. On the V.I.A. Character Strengths profile, my top 5 are: Spirituality, Perspective, Curiosity, Social Intelligence, and Gratitude.
My favorite drink is iced tea, unsweetened, brewed super strong, with extra ice.
1701 W. Northwest Highway, Suite 100, Grapevine, Texas 76051, United States
I work locally, nationally and internationally, in person, by phone, or virtual.
