Hey there friend!
I'm Deanna, and I live in the Tampa, Fl, area with my husband of 28 years and twin teen sons. After a lifetime of being both a military brat and military spouse, I love finally being settled in an area with so much to do!
My world revolves around supporting and empowering women in their 40s and 50s who are navigating the monumental task of rediscovering themselves and designing their next chapter in life. My path to becoming a coach and counselor wasn't just a professional choice—it's been a deeply personal journey, influenced by my own experiences as a mom, an educator, and a lifelong learner.
I’ve been where you are…
Real talk, friends. My journey through personal and professional growth has been anything but straightforward. I've been in the trenches of change, feeling swamped, solitary, and at a crossroads, without a clear direction. This stage of life, especially after the kids have grown and the house quiets down, brings its own set of challenges. But here's what I've learned: it's also brimming with opportunities for rediscovery and rejuvenation.
With a foundation built on education—armed with degrees in English, Humanities, and School Administration, and enriched by certifications in DISC and Enneagram practices—I've cultivated a deep belief in the transformative power of understanding and evolving. My ongoing journey towards a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling isn't just about adding credentials; it's about deepening the ways I can support, heal, and connect with others.
My approach isn't about lecturing from the sidelines. I'm right here with you, navigating this wonderful journey of midlife together. I draw not just from academic knowledge, but from living through the very changes we discuss. It's about empathy, shared experiences, and crafting a roadmap together that's as unique as you are.
In our coaching sessions, we look at the full picture. This phase isn't just about filling the silence or busying ourselves with hobbies; it's about meaningful growth, finding equilibrium, and rediscovering who you are—and who you want to be. I'm here to walk this path with you, shoulder to shoulder, through the lows and highs, the uncertainties, and the victories.
I warmly invite you to embark on this transformative journey with me. Through personalized coaching, dynamic workshops, or the support of a community that gets it, my aim is to empower you with the strength, confidence, and serenity needed to embrace this vibrant chapter of your life. You're not journeying solo. Together, we'll tackle the challenges and celebrate the richness of this season, rediscovering the joy and purpose that's been waiting for you!
