(Balance, Awareness, Strengths, Knowledge)

Helping you become aware of your authentic self, so that you can bask in the warmth of your strengths, bring balance to all areas of your life, and develop the knowledge to remain composed in stressful situations.

Are you feeling overwhelmed?

You work in an industry that is notorious for being competitive and antagonistic. There are multiple last-minute deadlines that require working overtime frequently. You feel unappreciated as you have tried to move up in the hierarchical company for years with no success. You feel like your co-workers are competing with you for hours, clients, and partnership. You love your work, but you are frustrated, anxious all the time, grumpy, and most of all, tired. Maybe you work from home most of the time, but you might as well be at the office, since you are not available for friends and family because of your long work hours.

Perhaps you work as a manager or staff in this environment. You are responsible for providing support for the office and there is pressure to keep everything running smoothly. You have similar feelings of frustration, lack of appreciation, and anxiety.

Out of balance?

Perhaps you are feeling like your life is out of balance. You put most of your energy into your career and business and the rest of your life is suffering, like time with your family or overall enjoyment of life. You might be struggling in your work environment, either with people who are pressuring you, or not having enough hours in the day.

Something doesn’t feel right.

Do you ever feel like you are living someone else’s life? You did all the things society asked of you: a good job; raising a family; owning a house; a vacation now and then. Something is missing though. Somewhere down the road of these accomplishments, you lost yourself. You don’t really know who you are, and you are not as satisfied as you think you should be. I can help you find yourself. Discover your unique strengths. Find what truly brings you fulfillment. I can help you show up in your life as your authentic self and to give yourself the gift of clarity.

I’ve been there.

I have worked in the legal field for more than 30 years, so I know how it feels. I understand the pressure that you are under and the unrealistic expectations that you are asked to perform. I know about unrealistic deadlines, unreasonable clients, and competitive co-workers. I know about being passed over and unappreciated.

How I can help.

I can help you bring calm and courage into your work environment. By using techniques of awareness, I can help you access your authentic self and bring it into your work environment so that you can shine. I can give you tools to handle difficult situations and people.

I can help you discover your exclusive strengths so that you can be comfortable in your life by showing the world your gifts and living by your values. I can help you honor your strengths and bring them to the surface so that you can live life your own, unique, authentic way.

If you are feeling out of balance, I can help you determine what is truly important to you, what really matters, to help you bring peace and discernment into your life, so there is balance in all areas.

My background.

I have worked in law offices for more than 30 years, so I know what it is like and the challenges you face. I have a Master of Science degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology which provided me with extensive knowledge regarding the dynamics of an organization and how it might affect the employees who work there.

Personally, I have positively prevailed through a divorce, successfully single-parented, and have learned to develop my strengths and stay poised in a hectic life.

Ready for a change?

Let me help you bask in the warmth of your authenticity and shine your strengths in the world. I can help you get to know yourself better and what is truly important to you. With this knowledge, I can help you bring balance and harmony in all areas of your life.
