What’s Next for You?
Projects are an expression of who you are, what you want, and what is meaningful to you. Many of us feel simultaneously excited and overwhelmed by what’s next. When we are not able to move forward, it can be incredibly frustrating and demoralizing!
Sometimes, getting going is just a matter of gathering information, making a plan, and getting organized. Other times, there are blocks to action, which stem from physical or learning challenges, or entanglements in your mind (fears, self-critical thoughts, etc...).

For Older Adults - and their Adult Children
Do you - or does your parent - need help with a project or an upcoming small move? I work in collaboration with clients - and families, when possible - to provide guidance, resources, and hands-on help. Settling into a new home, unraveling an administrative problem, finding the right resource/support people, tackling the piles in the closet/basement/garage, or even planning a celebration of life - all of this can be so overwhelming! Less so with me as your coach.
Another service I love to offer involves interviewing and audio recording older adults sharing life stories. Capturing the particular personality and voice of a loved one is a really unique way to preserve personal, professional, and family history.
