About MeLanie

I am a Board Certified Life Coach with a specialty designation in Personal/Life Coaching from the CCE (Center for Credentialing in Education), an affiliate of NBCC (National Board for Certified Counselors). I am a Mental Health Counselor. My values-based coaching is grounded in professional training, ethical standards, and mental health insight into behavior, motivation and change.

Dual training in coaching and counseling affords me the awareness to determine whether a client's presenting concerns are outside the scope of coaching where therapy may be more indicated. As a counselor, I am attuned to what lies beneath motivation, resistance, avoidance, fear, uncertainty, shame, or self sabotage- all of which the coaching process recognizes as barriers to change. I can detect subtle emotional cues of grief, trauma response, and even people-pleasing tendencies that can interfere with forward momentum. My coaching approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Solution-Focused Therapy.

My professional history began in education as a teacher who transitioned into educational leadership. I always enjoyed working with people and presenting ideas to increase understanding, while listening with empathy. Working with students from diverse backgrounds, including those with special needs, has deepened my appreciation of individual struggles. I chose to follow that shift into a career that allowed me to serve as a thinking partner on a personal level, to help others figure out ways their lives can be improved.
