Meet Your Coach
I’m a mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. There was a time that I didn’t do any of these roles well, let alone perfectly. There was a time I genuinely struggled to trust, be present in my life, engage those around me, offer, let alone understand empathy, and appeared uninterested in my relationships, my career, and my life. Throughout the last fourteen years, I’ve been lost in my backstory, hurt by those closest to me, failed in life as it played out in front of me, and eventually found a place of success.
I chose to become professionally educated to better understand the contents of my backstory that held me back in life’s journey: Associates in Social & Human Services, Bachelors in Psychology, Peer Counselor Certification, Sexual Assault & Abuse Advocate Certification, Crime Victims & Court Advocate Certification, and Domestic Violence Advocate Certification. Throughout the last eight years, I’ve worked as a Crisis Counselor, Outreach Clinician, and Inpatient Peer Counselor. I’ve worked to fine-tune my skillsets and mold them to best serve individuals striving to be their best selves, as I did. The Go2Peer Life Coach motto, “Live with Purpose,” sums me up in just three simple words—it didn’t always come that easy.
Life is a journey, filled with choices, conflict, and opportunity! We simply need to decide and act. Allow me to help you through your journey—the honor is all mine.

What is coaching?
Coaching is an equal relationship—a balanced partnership between the Coach and Client. Your coach is there to support you maneuvering your defined journey—who you want to be, where you want to be in both, life and career. Your coach’s role is to help you become grounded in your goals and aspirations while mapping out and pursuing the many actions your desired outcomes require: Accountability, Clarification, and Motivation when your journey meets with conflict, as well as Celebration and Praise when the small tasks transition into full accomplishments.

How to get the most from your coaching experience.
Coach responsibilities
Counseling focuses on processing through past issues and one’s life history. Consultation is a service based on the professional’s expertise in a specific area and is limited to that area. Coaching is driven by your collaboration with a ‘life specialist’ (coach) and is focused on changing your future by challenging your current journey.
As your Life Coach, it is my role to provide the following:
-
I’m here to promote change
-
I’m here to encourage you to pursue your goals through clarification and empowerment, by making sure we are attaching your identified interests specifically to each of them.
-
I’m here to ask you to do more, above and beyond what’s already been done and likely, outside of your identified comfort zone.
-
I’m here to help you produce your desired results more quickly by sharpening your focus on the task at hand.
-
I’m here to provide you with the structure, tools, and support to accomplish more in your journey.
-
Focus on what you really want: What you really want to achieve should be the core focus of our relationship. The client—coach relationship builds on that focus by identifying the steps to get there, then filling the gaps before they become a conflict.
-
Understand that you will develop: When we change, it is a natural consequence of our life experiences. Your coaching journey will reflect this. No worries, it’s just a natural response to the changes we experience in coaching.
-
Increase your willingness to step up: Be willing to change up how you respond to things, interact with others, and what you believe. Ask yourself to be more, and aspire to be your best self; no more, no less.
-
Come prepared to each session: The Preparation Form allows you to be focused and ponder prior to our sessions, while maintaining a personal level of accountability in your coaching journey.
-
Complete your homework: Keep your commitments from our sessions. You are already leading the journey and you will be in charge of both, identifying and managing your weekly goals amidst the daily demands of life. The coach’s job is to hold you accountable while encouraging you to do your very best.
Amidst my personal journey, I’ve found seven primary reasons we seek out our Life Coaches: Life as a whole, Career and Finance, Business Ventures and all their faucets, Relationships and Dating, Communication and Interpersonal Skills, the Wellness Factor©, and Personal Growth as a whole.
-
Your Very Best: Coaching is a personal investment. Results are achieved when people are ready to do and be the best they can be: facing a challenge and giving it your best effort.
-
A Willingness to be Challenged: When deemed appropriate, your Life Coach will make a direct action request to you. While you are encouraged to accept the challenge, the decision is yours and your Life Coach will support it completely.
-
Advice is not a demand: Advice offered is based on personal experiences, acquired knowledge, professional development, and resource accrual. Advice is simply an offering of those experiences and you will always be the decision maker whether to utilize or dismiss such information.
-
Openness: Our job is to be acutely aware of both, our dialogue and interactions. Your coach will ask for clarification and engage in a dialogue regarding concern about hesitation and/or inconsistencies. Confrontation will never be utilized in the Go2Peer Life Coach model.
-
Homework: There is always room for tasks to be completed in between our sessions. This isn’t done as a way to force failure by overwhelming you. The sole purpose of homework is to maintain your focus on the end result of your journey by allowing you to identify steps that can successfully be accomplished amidst your daily life tasks.
