HOW I FACILITATE COACHING AND THERAPY

EVERY SESSION IS COMPLETELY TAILORED TO MET YOUR GOALS

First, I ask a lot of questions and utilize assessments to take you through a process of self-discovery to collaboratively develop a coaching plan or identify a mental health diagnosis. We then focus on getting rid of the noise and the useless, past-rendered negative self-talk taking up space in your head. I demystify what causes you to feel emotionally and mentally challenged and give you new ways of thinking and new strategies to move forward.

I challenge you to take action steps, to RE-Design the life you deserve, Re-Imagine the Possibilities, and WALK in Happiness, Healing, and Hope to make huge leaps for yourself and the people who love you. Coaching or Therapy with me gives you accountability like you’ve never known before – to living your purposeful more authentic self.

HOW WE START

WE START BY LOOKING DEEPER DURING OUR INITIAL DISCOVERY CONVERSATION

Once we discover if our personality style is a good fit, we start by evaluating the answers to your initial questionnaire. We will go over this together to explore your thoughts, clarify your answers, and navigate through additional questions to sharpen our understanding of your desires.

This process will help us determine if you're up for the challenge of power coaching and or therapy — that you are ready and willing to take the necessary actions to get where you want to be.

Are you ready to move POWER-FULL-Y?

Let’s go!

WORK WITH ME

Before I started by sessions with Dr. Dawn my life was going every way but the right way. Coaching taught me how to work on myself one step at a time and to celebrate myself along the way.

Coaching with Dr. Dawn taught me how to release the guilt attached to self-blame. I now forgive myself for whatever mistakes I made in the past and keep it moving. Power Coaching with Dr. Dawn taught me how to be the BOSS of ME! I own the rights to my happiness.
