Raised by a single mom during the 1980s, I watched how to “put your big-girl panties on” through all of life’s challenges. Life is more complicated than that, I learned. As I coach children, we need a toolbox full of strategies to face the hard stuff. I have personally faced deep grief, myriads of change, marital strife, parental overwhelm and financial crisis.
I have been married for almost 25 years and have two amazing adult children. Challenging, complex, special adult children. We have overcome the unimaginable as a family, more than once. Let me help you face the hard stuff and make a way through to the other side.
I have over 20 years experience in teaching and mentoring, and a PhD in Christian Counseling. I combine my experience in teaching, counseling, and coaching to help you find clarity and meet your goals. I offer personalized exploration alongside key learning and group support.
During the formulation of the fundamental principles for our business, we identified five key values: Compassion, Curiosity, Courage, Creativity, and Christ, all starting with the letter C. Drawing inspiration from my proficiency in Spanish, we opted for 'Si,' translating to 'yes.' Additionally, in the Indonesian language, dear to my heart, the number five is 'Lima.' In essence, becoming a part of SiLima Coaching signifies your affirmation towards transformation guided by these five core values!
