With a Master’s in psychology, I am adept at translating the mechanisms of behavior change and cognitive behavioral interventions. I leveraged this therapeutic training to transition into a career in coaching, backed by certifications in executive coaching and spiritual direction. I've had the privilege of guiding a diverse array of clients, ranging from corporate professionals in Europe to spiritual leaders in the US. Driven by a passion for empowering others, I also founded the Cycle of Courage coach training program and curated several other courses. These have enabled me to mentor aspiring coaches and therapists across the globe, adding an invaluable layer to my coaching experience. But most importantly, I’ve lived this work for years. I know where you are and I can validate, support and encourage you along your way.

Coaching is a versatile and effective approach that can benefit individuals from various walks of life. Whether you're seeking personal growth, professional development, or navigating life transitions, coaching can provide valuable insights, support, and guidance. The success of coaching ultimately depends on your commitment, openness to change, and active participation in the process. By working collaboratively with a skilled provider, you can uncover your strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve your desired outcomes. It's important to find a coach whose expertise aligns with your goals and values to maximize the effectiveness of the coaching relationship.

Coaching primarily focuses on facilitating personal and professional growth, goal setting, and action planning. It helps individuals gain clarity, develop strategies, and make progress towards their objectives. Coaches typically use evidence-based methodologies, psychological frameworks, and practical tools to support clients in achieving specific outcomes.
On the other hand, spiritual direction centers on exploring one's spiritual journey, deepening their connection with God, and seeking guidance in matters of faith and spirituality. Spiritual directors provide a safe space for individuals to reflect, discern, and cultivate their relationship with the sacred. They may draw from religious traditions, contemplative practices, and intuitive wisdom to support clients on their spiritual path.
While coaching and spiritual direction have distinct focuses, they often overlap, especially when individuals seek guidance that integrates both personal growth and spiritual development. We offer a combination of coaching and spiritual direction, tailoring their approach to meet the unique needs and aspirations of their clients.

The duration of the coaching process can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your goals, the level of support you require, and the frequency of coaching sessions. Coaching engagements can span a few months to a year or more, depending on the depth of the desired transformation and the pace at which you prefer to progress.
Typically, coaching involves an initial phase of establishing rapport, clarifying goals, and identifying areas for growth. Subsequently, you and your coach will work together to create a tailored action plan and implement strategies to move you towards your objectives. Throughout the coaching journey, regular sessions are conducted to assess progress, provide accountability, and make adjustments as necessary.
It's important to note that coaching is a dynamic and iterative process, and the timeline can be adjusted to meet your evolving needs and circumstances. Your coach will collaborate with you to determine a suitable duration for your coaching engagement, ensuring that it aligns with your goals, resources, and desired outcomes.
