Coaching for Life's Transitions
Providing a Safe Place to Feel Seen,
Heard, and Validated
We all go through transitions in life. Our paths are rarely perfect, and there are times we feel stuck and confused. I provide a safe place to feel seen, heard, and validated.
I am not here to fix you because you don't need fixing; I only support you in finding light in the darkness or breaking through the fog.

Everyone has that obnoxious negative voice.

I can't do that.
I'm too fat, short, tall, uneducated, poor, shy, etc.
I don't know what to do next.
I don't know how I will survive without…
What I offer is grounded in scientific studies on self-actualization.
I will partner with you to help you see your future paths, create experiments (goals), and be an accountability and support partner.
Ways I Can Help You
I’m here to Walk Along Side through all of life’s transitions.

You’ve worked your entire life to finally reach Retirement. Then, suddenly, there it is, staring you in the face and saying, “Okay, here I am. Now, what will I do with myself?!”

Do you have a tug of war going on inside? You know that you should eat better, lose weight, stop smoking, and exercise more . . .
-
I would love to help you get free of the stuff holding you back and causing resistance to the life you want.

About Susan
As a life transitions coach, I specialize in guiding clients through life's most significant changes – from loss and divorce to health challenges, retirement, and career shifts. My approach centers on helping you uncover your core values and using them as the foundation to build your next chapter.
My coaching journey began when I retired from full-time teaching. I remember taking the nameplate off my door that said, Professor Mitchell. Who am I going to be now? What will I do? Since becoming a life coach, my husband passed away so I understand grief in a profound empathic way. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how powerful intentional change can be when guided by our authentic values.
What sets my coaching practice apart:
Deep expertise in values-based transition planning
A holistic approach to personal growth and enlightenment
Specialized training in grief and life transitions
A compassionate, results-oriented methodology
Through our partnership, we'll create a clear path forward that honors your authentic self while opening doors to new possibilities. I believe that every transition, even the most challenging ones, holds the potential for profound personal growth.
