Why Work with Me
I am uniquely patient, a deep listener and clear in my presentations and guidance. I strive to understand who you are, and how you best learn and grow. I ask clarifying questions to make sure I understand your concerns, questions and needs, and stay with you through the learning and growth process as you develop new awareness and skills.
Per my YNAB coaching focus areas, I have gone through a variety of significant life and location changes, own two businesses, and have used YNAB successfully to smooth the life of variable income.
Why I Coach
Because the human journey is so much richer and amazing when we receive support to grow in areas that we need to. I have received all kind of high-quality support in my life, and I am immeasurably grateful for it. An expression of that gratitude to hone skills that make me a valuable support to people to empower themselves and enrich their lives.
