When going through the adoption, parent, or your individual journey, you may be experiencing changes in your relationships with your culture, race, identity, friendships, and/or family. This happens because relationships are not static, but are continuously changing and evolving. Sometimes these relationships can be difficult to navigate.

AS YOUR COACH, I CAN HELP YOU NAVIGATE THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT TRANSITIONS.

ADOPTION COACHING

ADOPTION is complex. It is not a story of rescue or a savior, nor is it the happy ending to a fairytale. It is the beginning of a journey that creates a unique story for every individual and family.

Through coaching, you will have the support and guidance from someone who has firsthand experience and who understands the unique needs of adoptees and their families.

PARENT COACHING OR CONSULTING

Are you a PARENT who is burned out, feeling hopeless, or helpless with your relationships with your teen or adult child? Are you struggling to connect, or do you doubt your ability to be a guiding force in your teen or adult child’s life?

Coaching can help you identify ways to improve the relationship and strengthen your communication with your teen or adult child.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Are you an INDIVIDUAL (teen or adult) who is trying to figure out where you belong or how to show up in this world?

COACHING CAN GUIDE YOU IN FINDING YOUR STORY AND GAIN THE CONFIDENCE YOU ALWAYS WISHED FOR.

WHY ONE HEART ONE WORLD?

“Improving my quality of life alone has been worth the investment.”

Before I started working with you, I felt lost and doubted myself a lot. I knew what I wanted in life, but I didn’t know how to get there. My number one fear was opening up to someone or being honest about how or what I was feeling about my life.

 

Since working with you, I have been able to step out of my comfort zone more; use my voice to express my concerns and expectations; and create and stick to healthier boundaries. It also has challenge me to do things I never really thought was possible such as starting a business. Through our time together, I feel more confident.

LEARNING IS THE KEY! MAYBE NO ONE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO BE AN ALLY WITH YOUR CHILD     
OR TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND NOW YOU’RE READY TO LEARN.

HI, I'M ANDREA AND THRILLED YOU'RE HERE!

As your coach, we will work together to navigate through these transitions in life. In addition, identify ways for you to strengthen your communication in your relationships. Together, we will integrate your mindset, skill sets, and your values so you can start developing and claiming the life you always wanted.

As a coach, I use my natural curiosity and commitment to others to create a genuine bond of mutual respect and honesty. This enables me to coach clients in a way that will help them feel comfortable as they explore and work through difficult thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and beliefs they may be experiencing.

My coaching is informed by my personal experience and professional trainings. I have firsthand experience navigating my relationships with my two cultures, races, identities, and families as an International Transracial Adoptee.

Professionally, I have a decade of experience as a school social worker and educator working in diverse populations. I have gained valuable insights and perspectives through my experiences and trainings and hope to help others through this process.

AS A COACH, I AM HERE TO BE A GUIDE AND ALLY IN YOUR JOURNEY.

My self-awareness increased.”

Before working with you, I was experiencing a shift in my identity. I never participated in coaching before, so I was unsure about what to expect and how much it could be accomplished. Through our work together, I gained a lot more direction about what is really important to me and what the steps are to realize my goals.

I was introduced to Brainspotting which I was skeptical about, but actually experienced benefits. Working together enabled me to set boundaries at work. If you need some support figuring out what you want and how to make it happen, you are definitely the person to work with. It was great working with a fellow KAD.
