About the bask approach

---

I specialize in helping clients with burnout, time management, and overcoming overwhelm, especially those working in highly stressful work environments. 

I specialize in organization development strategies, and I can help businesses that struggle with high turnover, generational dissonance, low employee motivation, and burnout. 

I specialize in whole person coaching, which means that we focus on your whole person, not just your mind, but also body and emotions, to help you find solutions. It may surprise you, but our mind does not have all of the answers.

I also specialize in coaching for those going through major life transitions such as divorce, retirement, or empty nest.

I worked in the legal field for more than 30 years, so I have firsthand knowledge of what it is like to work in a stressful work environment. I know about last minute deadlines, unreasonable clients, and competitive co-workers.

I began my legal industry career in California in 1987 as a temporary receptionist, quickly becoming a legal assistant. After moving to Oregon in 1995, I was promoted in a large law firm to support and train incoming legal assistants who had little to no experience. When Federal Court went to online filing, I trained the entire firm on the process.  I managed a small law firm and therefore have the background knowledge of how to efficiently run a law firm.

I have a Master of Science degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology which provided me with extensive knowledge regarding the dynamics of an organization and how culture might affect the employees who work there.  I specifically conducted research on law firms. I am Chapter President of the Organization Development Network of Oregon, a non-profit that  supports organization development specialists.

I am a certified Whole Person Coach.  My training was accomplished through Coach Training World, a school accredited with the International Coaching Federation.

I take a collaborative and solution-focused approach to coaching. By working together, we can identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a plan of action to help you achieve your goals.  My approach is holistic and tailored to each individual's unique needs and strengths.  

I take the same approach in my organization consulting. We will work together to determine the best strategy to overcome the obstacles your business is facing and create a plan for success. We will explore how each aspect of the business influences the other. We will also look at your organization's unique strengths and how it can help you overcome those challenges.
