Welcome

Caren helped narrow down my career search, and most importantly offered much needed positive reinforcement. Caren’s empathy and care definitely put her above any career services I’ve ever used.

Caren is everything I was looking for in a life coach—focused, engaged and compassionate. She listens mindfully, asks the right questions, and after each session, she follows up with an email summarizing our discussion with related actions step, insights and support. Those emails kept me on track and gave our work structure that propelled me forward. She held me accountable so I continued to make progress towards my goal. I am grateful that I found a coach like Caren and had the opportunity to work with her. Our conversations continue to be of great benefit! 

Caren is a kind and compassionate person and a very good listener. She provides constructive feedback and suggestions, using tools and methodologies for self-reflection and introspection which brings to the surface our personality strengths and core beliefs. She very effectively anchors the options for career or life choices back to our core beliefs for a meaningful and purposeful life.

After many years of psychotherapy, I still had some “simple” life goals that I wanted to achieve.  I wanted an orderly and comfortable apartment, I wanted to begin exercising regularly and I wanted a wardrobe that felt more like “me”.  After three months of working with Caren, I have taken large steps towards reaching these goals, and I’m now better able to draw from positive qualities that keep me on track. Caren has the great characteristics of being all of the following: easy-going, reliable, empathic, interested and focused.

I am so grateful to be working with Caren as a coach. She is warm, wise, compassionate, insightful, and practical. She has helped me both with the “small” things, such as developing routines that support me in feeling how I want to feel (not small at all!), and the big things, such as career exploration. I have found her expertise in positive psychology and mindfulness incredibly useful. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering coaching.

I highly recommend working with Caren. True insight into mindfulness and stress management with life skills and advice that’s easy to follow and instrumental in managing through life’s complications. 

Caren was hugely helpful in getting me on the path to my own creativity. I appreciated her insights and perspective every step of the way. She was also great at giving me background sources, articles, and links that were always on point. Finally, she bases her approach on what works from studies in positive psychology. I like that she is offering true expertise and I truly enjoyed working collaboratively with her.

Working with Caren during my junior year in high school was incredibly helpful. With all the pressures and drama that come with school, college prep, friends and social media, I felt so stressed and Caren taught me really valuable coping skills, such as mindfulness, gratitude and self-compassion. She is a great listener, and asked me questions that made me think about my strengths, and how to respond in challenging moments rather than just react. I highly recommend her as a coach and feel so fortunate to have these tools as I prepare to go off to college.

Caren’s insightfulness, her reassuring approach, and the positive strategies she’s shared have been beyond helpful! Our work together has been effective, and enabled me to get a clearer picture of my goals and how to reach them. During our sessions, we clarified my objectives, explored options for action steps, and created a plan on how to execute them. When I needed to de-stress and be kinder to myself, Caren helped me with mindfulness exercises that really did the trick. I highly recommend her as a life and career coach!
