About Jeanne

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
                                                Anais Nin

I am a creative woman, skilled at reinventing myself. I know how
to turn any life experience into a learning opportunity and have
a good time in the process!

Throughout my 24 year career as a Marriage and Family Therapist
and Licensed Professional Counselor, I have nurtured and supported
women's growth and development.

With Go Girl! Life Coaching, I blend my intuitive, authentic style with a natural enthusiasm for life.
My approach is based on positive psychology; I am interested in helping you identify and build on
your strengths so you can enjoy a happier more successful life.

My coaching style is lively and direct. With my well-honed listening skills, I will keep you on track
and focused on your needs as you take specific steps towards achieving your goals.

I have years of personal and professional experience finding solutions to life's problems.

                                             My sister, Cathie, painted this portrait of me as a child right
                                             before I became severely ill with tetanus.

                                             I was in the hospital for weeks in an iron lung and clearly recall
                                             the grit and determination I needed to survive and fully recover
                                             from this life threatening illness.

                                             It was difficult for me to catch up in school after that. I struggled
                                             with my studies on into high school although deep down I knew I
                                             had greater potential.

                                             In my thirties, I found the courage to enroll in a local college and
                                             became the first in my family to graduate from college and go
                                             on for an advanced degree.

I am a Psychotherapist and Life Coach because I enjoy helping others overcome adversity,
take action and create the kind of life they have imagined for themselves.
