First let me start by telling you 3 quick things that Family Life Coaching IS NOT.

1. It is NOT counseling. We don’t work in the past. We are all about looking ahead and helping you get there.
2. It is NOT consulting. I’m not going to offer you ways to improve yourself. Those will all come from you!
3. It is NOT me directing the path. You will be the driver on our journey together.

Now that those are out of the way, let me tell all about what Family Life Coaching (FLC) is and how it can help you. FLC is a way to help you understand and improve your family relationships. It is a way to help you through your parenting struggles. It is a way to work through the different parenting stages and all their challenges. We can talk about separation anxiety, depression, discipline. We can talk about being a new parent or your teenagers and all their angst! We can discuss stress and anger management. Certainly it entails discussing communication skills and styles. We can address the challenges of marriage or reconnecting with a spouse.

All these things and more are things I can help you naviagate as your Family Life Coach. You are the director or what we talk about, what we work on, the best part is that the solutions come from you! I am a facilitor and will walk with you through the maze and help you find your way out of the trees!

I’m ready to start this journey with you!

If getting things done and sticking with your plan is sometimes a struggle for you, let me help you with that!

When we have a few specific and meaningful things to focus on, we can be more successful in achieving those goals and therefore set ourselves on a path of success with future plans and desires. We will talk this out to find something personal, financial, physical or anything else that you’ve been meaning to tackle and help you get started to make that become a reality. We will discuss short term and long term ideas and come up with a plan to help you achieve your desires!

We will also talk about your life right now. How busy you are. Where you think you can fit in a new something. How strong is your desire to meet this goal? We will do a ‘reality check’ to assess your understanding of what is needed to help you reach your goal.

Here’s the fun part…. let’s brainstorm together all the wild and wacky or down to earth ways to make this goal of yours come to life. I’ll ask some tough questions and let you fill in the blanks to come up with ways to help you achieve your goal!

Last but not least we will spend some time discussing your commitment to this goal. How likely is it that you will get started on this. Are there things standing in your way? Let’s talk about those. How can I help you reach your goal? Let me walk you through the process and help you see that you can achieve your desires, both big and small!

Here in our area, there are many families that don’t know where to turn for help with their families. There are resources available and people waiting to help. Depending on what your family and/or children need, let’s work together to make our future brighter.

There is CHAC which is community health and counseling services that help families everyday with both small and large areas of concern. Also the County of Santa Clara provides great resources and places to begin.

Let’s talk and see what we can do together to help your family learn to communicate better, work through an immediate struggle or get help for the long term benefit of your family.
