I offer decision coaching to individuals, couples and groups who want to solve problems together. I use tools to help you think more creatively and systematically about your big choices, and to help you tackle the small choices along the way and overcome your obstacles.
My approach is very pragmatic, and you will benefit most from working with me if you want to focus on your current situation and your upcoming decisions, rather than on the past. Steps along the way include clarifying core goals and values; evaluating options; dealing with trade-offs, risks and uncertainties; developing smarter solutions; and implementing plans to achieve goals. For couples and groups, the process also includes clarification of common and differing interests. Whenever possible, we will shoot for creative problem solving rather than negotiation and compromises. This works best if all parties are willing to consider new ideas and think harder and further. It is surprising how often the best solutions are not the ones that first come to mind.
We may also work via phone, Skype, FaceTime, or other online channels, including shared online documents and tools.
My Background: PhD in Psychology from the University of Freiburg, Switzerland. Currently teaching decision-making and counseling classes at Portland State University and Marylhurst University. Co-author of the book: “Heart and Mind: Mastering the Art of Decision Making,” and of numerous peer-reviewed research articles in psychology, neuroscience, decision-making, and coaching techniques.
