My background is as an individual and couples therapist, as well as
a professional organizer. I was drawn to counseling because I love
working with people, and helping them overcome obstacles to access and
live their true paths. After several years of counseling people within
the traditional mental health system, I noticed that I was feeling
frustrated and thwarted. The focus was primarily on the past, and what
was “wrong” with someone. I was catching glimpses of the beauty,
uniqueness and brilliance in my clients, but we weren’t fully able to
explore these areas.
I also became aware that my clients needed help decluttering,
simplifying, and organizing their lives. This pathway is not generally
included in traditional counseling and therapy, yet is an integral part
of viewing the “whole” person. My clients were struggling with how to
do all that they wanted to do in a day, how to be fully present for
those they love, how to care for themselves, how to create a home that
didn’t overwhelm them with “stuff.” I wanted to help my clients manage
all facets of their lives in a healthy and balanced way.
These dual passions came together to create Serene Spaces, a
professional organizing and personal coaching business. Serene Spaces
exists to help our clients declutter their lives and homes, become more
organized, and live their true lives. The personal coaching aspect of
Serene Spaces draws on my years of experience in social work and
counseling, coupled with my master decluttering and organizing skills.
In addition to my busy work life, I am also a mother and wife. So, I
am personally familiar with the life-long journey to find balance in an
increasingly frenetic world. I know first-hand the challenges of trying
to stay on my true path. I also know the satisfaction, happiness, and
deep fulfillment of living my life “on purpose.”
My goal is to journey with my clients as they create lives that are more:
I hope that you will join me on this exciting journey.
Personal coaching, or life coaching, is a relationship focused on
helping you discover what you truly want, and then helping you take
action to realize your visions, goals, and desires. It is a pathway
that supports you in designing your own future, to live your life “on
purpose.”
My goal, through telephone coaching, is to help lead my clients on a
journey of self-discovery and action. We look to the future, and work
from two assumptions: that you are whole just as you are, and that you
have the ability to create the life that you dream about.
