Work With Me

I was truly floundering for new perspectives and solutions. I felt like an utter failure and was fundamentally depressed and saw little in my future to look forward to any more. In six short weeks, Sarah listened to what I had to say with patience and compassion, with never any feeling of judgement. She offered me many new and fresh perspectives that stopped me dead in my tracks. I didn’t know the answers to many of her questions, and figuring out the answers (for myself) over the next several weeks made a universe of change in my daily life and outlook. As a result, I am exercising daily (new to me and my routine); I have lost over 20 pounds, and I am able to feel some small measure of joy again in my quotidian adventures. In particular, her cogent notes summarizing our sessions have provided a wealth of material to consider and stimulate me to action towards solving my myriad dilemmas. She literally helped turn my midnight into day, and I can’t say enough good things about her demeanor and professionalism.

Working with Sarah throughout the pandemic was key to my quarantine survival. After just three sessions with her, I could already see that I was going to be able to climb out of the hole I’d been dwelling in. The added clarity I gained helped me feel like I have more power over my circumstances and gave me the confidence to seek change. This allowed me to get to know myself on a deeper level. She celebrated my victories, big and small, and always met me where I was at; never pressuring me to go at a faster pace than I was ready for. She made herself available between sessions to be my accountability partner, helping me achieve my goals throughout the week. Sarah is a naturally warm-hearted and caring person, and she can help anyone get where they want/need to go. I would recommend working with her to anyone who needs extra support to take the next steps forward in life.

Before meeting with Sarah, I was at a crossroads in my career- I was going back and forth between furthering my education or trying to make personal advancements within my current job. Through a series of intentional questions, she guided me toward a level of clarity that felt inaccessible prior to the session. Using an approach of gentle confidence, Sarah encouraged authentic assessment of my personal values and goals and energetic “check-ins” along the way, resulting in a better understanding of how to proceed- I am very grateful!

Prior to starting our coaching sessions I felt like I was in a rut, facing so many changes, and didn’t know how to sort through them. After having several months of conversations with Sarah, I had a better sense of how to handle my life. Thought processes around life have changed for me. I feel like the foundation for being present, thinking through situations, and responding instead of reacting to said situation was introduced and continuously reinforced through our sessions. Also, an additional level of acceptance of where I am at now and acknowledgment that growth can happen from here was a key change. I would do it all over again, and I plan to continue our conversations again soon.

I was lost in my career path, unemployed, and finding it hard to deal with daily stress. Working with Sarah, I was able to really outline my career goals and discover what I really wanted to do. And now, after 9 months of unemployment and uncertainty of how to pivot my career – I landed a new job in the career field that I wanted to be in for 5 years. Now I finally have a job that I’ve wanted, feel much less stress, and have better coping skills.

Before coaching, I was feeling very scattered and almost “lost” (cliche I know ha), like I didn’t have a solid foundation/roots and would get blown around all Willy-nilly. I have struggled with insecurities and anxiety and I didn’t possess a real strong sense of self. I was also too busy worrying about what others were doing or thought and in doing so I would give my personal power away. Now, I feel like my perspectives about myself and others have changed! While the old, habitual ways of thinking still creep in from time to time, I am more readily prepared to stop them in their tracks! I Also feel like I am making more conscious decisions for myself instead of letting others dictate my direction and choices. I have genuinely reaped the benefits of coaching and I feel more positive and stronger than I have in a while. I have gone to therapy and haven’t felt the gains like I have with coaching. The self awareness (and other little tools) I am mastering is going to help me for the rest of my life!
