Life Coaching
The principles of psychology and counseling
can be useful in many areas of a person's life. Understanding human behavior can help people acheive at a higher level, regardless of where they are now.
My coaching is more than motivational speeches. I use a system that takes the principles inherent in evidence based therapy and helps people reach beyond their perceived limitations. Coaching is based in the belief that many of the factors that lead to success can be learned.
Payment Options:
I am currently accepting Medicaid and NC HealthChoice. I will work on a sliding scale for out of network or uninsured client. Coaching services cannot be covered by Medicaid or NC Healthchoice.
