Bereavement Counseling

I had a very nice and successful free consultation with her she spent much time getting to know me and my situation. I felt like I could relate to each other.

Bereavement Counseling

She makes a great deal of sense and I'm looking forward to working with her. She is not a psychologist but a life coach, it would be helpful if bark created a category for life coaches. They are distinct from psychologists and therapists and very helpful in their own right but potential clients should have a clear choice between the two. I think Iris is just the person I need but I just stumbled into her through sheer luck. More...

Iris is thorough in her research and very detail oriented. She is also compassionate, thoughtful, and reflective. We also really appreciated how she gave us homework to complete before each session. Iris reviewed our homework prior to our sessions and we were able to have meaningful dialogues about our goals. Specifically, we came to Iris with questions about adoption. Her over 4 decades of experience in this arena was invaluable to us. She helped us organize our thoughts and create attainable goals for us to work on. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Iris. We live in Shanghai, and were able to navigate time differences in order to schedule Zoom sessions. Our sessions were recorded so we could listen to the audio afterwards and reflect back on our sessions. We look forward to connecting with Iris in the future to let her know about our progress. She is really invested in her clients and will give you her full attention. We could really tell just how much she cared about us and our progress. We would be happy to answer any questions of a prospective client and we highly recommend Iris! More...

Iris is a well rounded person who is honest and caring. She has knowledge in so many areas that can be helpful to many. She can help in many areas to name a few. ....grief, tragedy, loss, parenting, sandwich generation. She in my opinion is an expert in pre-adoption, post-adoption and all aspects of choosing an option if you are a birth-mother who is searches for options.
Iris is not only an excellent coach but has had real life experiences in many issues we all face today. Life is a turn of many events and if you find yourself looking for answers, options....Coach Iris may be the person for you.

Iris has so much life experience combined with her vast education this combination is what makes her be able to relate and teach the solutions you are looking for right from your home! I’m constantly surprised by her talents and her views as she leads a client from a very unfortunate situation into one where they can once again excel in their life. It maybe something simple where sometimes the answer is right in front of you but you’re unable to see it without her guidance or it can be a very sad experience such as immense grief and so many people you turn to just weren’t taught how to deal with this. Often life changes which aren’t pleasant make others uneasy but Coach Iris is there to deal with it and guide you back into the light where you want to be but, can’t achieve it on your own or through family or friends. Even, long term illnesses take on a different meaning in life which can be quite lonely and painful. No one seems to want to hear what’s troubling you physically and this tends to snowball and can leave you with a self diminishing sadness that compounds your physical illness further. I’ve always been extremely supportive of others even though I was taught never to complain about an illness that there’s always someone worst off than me and that’s so true. Iris thinks like I do that you are not complaining but you are entitled to every support system you deserve because you’re seeking help. People just simply want to hear the happy stories of your life otherwise you can be considered as a negative person when Iris knows you’re not negative but you’re are in need of direction at this time of your life. She’s an outstanding honest coach whom I know has helped many clients throughout the years. Sometimes, you can choose a one on one support system from the convenience of your home in your privacy or she does offer group sessions for people who have the same situations going on in life. This also enables you to make new friends whom you have something in common. This type of support system leads into many new avenues in your life as you no longer feel like your alone out there in the dark. We all go through bad and good times but sometimes we really need an experienced life coach even if it’s a change of employment! That’s sounds so simplistic but it’s not into today society. People no longer have one job their whole life and even deciding on what new job skills and what would be the best situation for your life at this time can easily become overwhelming no matter how strong you are. All of us come to crossroads in our life and Iris is the one coach that will guide you over to the right direction in your life. Just give her a try you have nothing to lose and everything to gain...you’ll be surprised how somethings really do happen for a reason and when she guides you will be right back on track to your life’s pathway. Everyone needs support even the strongest people. Today’s world is not an easy one to live in for anyone at any age, with that said I myself can honestly say Iris has helped my family stay together and has guided us through our own personal tragedies and we have found happiness along with her support. Good luck as you embark on your new journey with Iris! More...

I belong to a Widow's group that Iris runs. She has helped me so much, I really appreciate what she done for me. I would still be in my room dreading the one-year anniversary of my loved one's death,, but I am actually looking forward to it now. . She gave me courage to create a way to honor him on that day that makes me feel good and better able to face it and the future.-Pam M. More...

I don’t think I ever adequately thank you for helping keep the darkness at bay. I’m in a decent place now. I feel stronger. And, I’m choosing to live life on purpose and unapologetically. Navigating my family and their feelings is still a challenge, but I know I can only be responsible for myself. So I’ve let go of trying to please everybody. Also, I put myself out there and I met someone. We have been dating for a while. I was only looking for some companionship, someone to do things with. He feels like home, tho. And, I’m feeling happy more often. I just really wanted to let you know you’ve truly helped my journey and I’m so appreciative. More...

I began working with Iris when I was struggling through new widowhood and feeling life would never be ok for me again. I worked with Iris for over 6 months. She helped me not only with my grief and with the insecurities I felt as a widow, but helped me to look at my past in relation to why I make the choices I often make. Iris worked with me on recognizing my inner strengths and building confidence in my own abilities...Iris has pushed me to use my own talents and creativity. As my circumstances and goals changed over time, Iris assisted me in shifting gears and focusing on my new challenges...I would suggest your contacting Iris and hiring her as soon as possible.

Iris came into my life at a very critical turn. Suffering from depression for years, I began withdrawing further and further into myself. I had been working with my doctor and taking the medication he prescribed, but it just wasn’t enough. I rarely left the house except to go to work and I associated only with family and only as needed. I wanted to make changes, but I didn’t know how to take that first step.
Iris put a lot of effort into getting to know me. She is generous with her time and talents. Iris listened carefully and shared tools and ideas that were tailored to my specific needs. I knew within the first two sessions that I was on the right track and with the right life coach.
I’m not where I want to be yet, but I am definitely on the right track. Iris breathes life back into flagging hopes and dreams. I feel courageous again for the first time in a long while.

"Iris has helped me deal with my daily struggles and puts so much heart into her work. I have not met anyone before who wants to help me to the extent she does, and who gives time and energy the way she does. I recommend her highly to coach you through a variety of difficult problems and life changes" More...

Iris coached me during one of the most difficult periods of my adult life. I would cite, among her many strengths, her ability to "hear" a client. "Hearing" a client is much more than listening to words; hearing a client acknowledges a client's mood, energy, and thought processes.

Iris has remarkable recall and there is no need to "start from the beginning" for every session. Iris prepares meticulously.

She is able to avoid creating an unhealthy relationship of dependence. Her suggestions and assignments make a coaching session a shared venture, a balanced relationship. Iris is able to identify a client's strengths and weaknesses and use her insight to steer a client in a healthy direction.

Q&As

I love seeing clients feel empowered. I love watching people stop suffering and being haunted and limited by the past, and go on to find new joy and purpose, and even new love.

I love the clients I have worked with and watching them grow and blossom.

I ran a non-profit social services agency for many decades and worked with families, couples and kids. I took additional training and decided to focus more on my Life and Loss Transformation practice and on my creative writing. I am also a published poet/ writer. I have survived many tough life changes myself, including young widowhood and many other losses. I knew I was good at helping people figure out how to honor the past while not remaining stuck in it and I knew that no matter how bleak things may seem, there is always hope and change is always possible.

I am a mature, creative, solution-oriented but highly compassionate woman, who has been through much in life. I don't come from a place of naivete or ignorance but from much experience and training. I am warm, authentic and supportive but I don't let clients get away with bs or with wasting their time or money or my time. They must be serious about reaching their goals and making changes. If they are, I am all in and support them 150%. My life has been about building relationships and caring about people. I am new to Bark but also have lots of reviews on other sites and on my web site for Vision Powered Coaching.

Remember, since most coaching is done via phone or sometimes with Zoom or similar service, I can work with people located anywhere as long as we can arrange a good time for you and for me.

Yes via phone or Zoom . Do not see clients in person.

Not applicable. Do not meet in person. No need for special precautions.

Services

I help clients redesign life & rediscover hope, purpose & joy in spite of grief or other difficult life changes. I also help people who have not experienced loss, figure out what’s next, so they can live a happier, more productive & successful life. I help people create or discover their unique goals & to figure out how to attain them with my support & their work & commitment. I have different pkges. Cost deoends on what you choose. Hiring an experiencd coach is not inexpensive.

I help creatives find or get back their mojo—Renewed inspiration, motivation and determination!
