WHY COACHING?
Your life is shaped by the choices you make—and you don't have to navigate those choices alone.
At On Purpose Coaching, we believe you already possess strengths, experiences, and wisdom that can help you move forward. Coaching provides a supportive space to slow down, gain clarity, explore your options, and develop practical strategies for the life you want to create.
Whether you're facing a transition, feeling stuck, pursuing a personal goal, or simply ready for something different, coaching can help you move from thinking about change to taking purposeful action.
MY APPROACH
My coaching style is supportive, direct, and purpose-driven.
I create a space where clients feel challenged, encouraged, and empowered to take action.
I listen, stay present, and ask the tough questions clients may not be able to ask themselves. I combine real-world strategy with personal development so clients can make progress both internally and externally.
True transformation happens when people become intentional. The goal is not perfection. It’s progress, alignment, and meaningful growth that lasts.
GIVING BACK
Giving back is an important part of my work.
My community involvement has included work with prisoner release programs for women, specifically the Empowering Women Out of Prison (EWOP) Program at a local federal women’s prison. I have the honor of assisting with mock job interviews and providing one-on-one coaching and guidance to help them prepare for their release back into their communities. I also volunteer as the Director of Membership for the International Coaching Federation San Antonio Chapter, where we connect with hundreds of businesses and non-profit organizations, helping them with their organizational and leadership development.
Through these opportunities, I am able to extend support beyond my private practice.

Lori, I can’t believe how much I continue to learn about myself from our sessions. You help me see different perspectives by asking me compelling questions and giving me time to reflet.
