Retirement Coaching
POSITIVE PATHS
You've worked hard for so long. Now you get to decide how you'll spend your precious days and years ahead. What a gift that is.
Retirement is one of life's biggest transitions, and understandably comes with lots of emotions from excitement and happiness, to fear and doubt.
What Will Your Next Chapter Be Like
Do you know yet? Have you had time to really think about it? There are so many important decisions and choices you'll need to make. Yet research shows that most people take more time planning a 2-week vacation than they do for their retirement.
While people who do plan mainly focus on the financial part, this can overlook the things make all the difference in a fulfilling life -- your purpose & identity, relationships and day-to-day lifestyle in retirement.
What's Important to You Now
Freed up from work responsibilities, how will your days line up with your passions & values? What about the dreams and interests that have been left on the sidelines for years?
These can be difficult questions to answer on your own. It might feel hard, intimidating even. And we humans tend to avoid what is hard :-).
But it can be easier with retirement transition coaching. You can get clarity about creating your positive path forward and begin to move towards it.

Coaching or Therapy
While Coaching and Therapy both aim to help people in their lives, they are distinct fields and approaches. Coaching focuses more on working with individuals on goals, planning, problem-solving and accountability. It tends to be short-term. Therapy addresses mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, by helping people understand and manage their emotions, and work through issues that are bothering them.
I am both a Professional Certified Coach and a licensed therapist (LCSW). However, I provide my clients with either Coaching or Therapy. I also provide my clients with referrals for qualified and experienced coaches or therapists as needed.
