Narrative Coaching Services
As a Certified Narrative Coach Practitioner, my role is to serve as your companion in a judgment-free space where you can step back and focus on what needs attention in your life. Narrative coaching is all about listening to and honoring your story. What is the story you are living right now? Is it the story you want your life to tell?
My job is to create the space for you to hear your own story and how it connects to your beliefs and values. When you can see the stories that are predominant in your life, you can start to intentionally author your desired story.
Together we engage in thoughtful dialogue and creative exercises that help you gain clarity about your values and take action towards achieving your goals. Coaching is an objective and action-oriented process where we acknowledge that you are the expert in your own life and that you have the capacity to find your own answers.

As your coach, I provide:
An environment that establishes trust, creates meaning, and calls attention to being fully present.
"Coaching presence," which consists of active listening, powerful questioning, tools such as visual journaling, and other direct communication to help create awareness and intention.
Assistance with articulating your goals, bringing issues into focus, aligning your goals with your values, and creating action steps to achieving your goals.
Accountability and support while maintaining an objective, judgment-free zone.
The process:
Informational Meeting - This is a pre-meeting where we discuss what coaching is and isn't, answer any questions you have, and ensure this is a good fit for both of us.
The Paperwork - When you hire me, I'll send you a packet that includes coaching agreements, welcome information, and a surprise or two! You'll review these items at your leisure and bring any questions to the Discovery Session.
Discovery Session - Our initial session is devoted to building a relationship based on trust and integrity. We will utilize tools and exercises to gain clarity on your values and key areas of your life. We'll begin to develop an intention that aligns with your goals and helps illuminate your preferred path forward. This in-depth session is three hours (or two 90-minute sessions) and is the only session where I hold the agenda.
Coaching Sessions - Each coaching session begins by setting aside distractions and creating a mindful, intentional space. We'll clarify your goal for the session and how we will ensure progress towards that goal. We'll utilize powerful questions, visual journaling, and other tools and models to help you achieve your goal to your satisfaction. At the end of the session, we'll review our progress and discuss any 'homework' and next steps.
