Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
Think of coaching as a practical partnership for your next chapter. While therapy often looks back to heal, coaching looks forward to build.
When you’re facing a life transition it’s easy to get stuck in "overthink" mode. Coaching gives you a dedicated space to move forward with support. We take your big, overwhelming goals and break them down into a clear, manageable roadmap.
How is coaching different from therapy?
The simplest way to look at it is that therapy helps you heal, while coaching helps you fly. Therapy is a clinical space for processing past wounds and managing mental health while coaching is forward-focused and goal oriented. We focus on strategy and action to move you from feeling stuck or unclear to feeling grounded with direction.
While I am an LiCSW, in this space I am your partner and strategist, not your clinician. If it ever looks like a clinical approach would serve you better, I’ll let you know and can help you find a therapist.
How often do we meet?
Every two weeks is usually the sweet spot as it gives you time to take action without losing momentum. That said, I am flexible! If you are in a fast-moving season, we can meet more often until things settle. Conversely, if you are currently balancing intensive caregiving or health issues, we can meet less often to ensure our sessions feel like a support, not a burden. We will find a rhythm that works for your life.
Between session support is also included via email. The most important shifts often happen outside of our calls. That’s why I include email support—to make sure you feel supported as you put our work into practice.
Why do you sell Coaching Packages?
Real, lasting change is a journey, not a single conversation. I offer packages because I am committed to your results; they allow us to move through discovery, strategy, and implementation without the "stop-and-start" feel of single calls. As a thank you for committing to your own progress, packages are offered at a discounted rate compared to booking individual sessions. It’s an investment in your momentum and your future.
Can you help with an issue not listed?
Please reach out! The specialties listed on my site are just a few of the many areas I work with. My coaching is designed for anyone navigating a significant life transition or a "what now?" moment. If you feel stuck in your personal or professional life, we can likely find a path forward together.
The best way to find out is to book a free 15-minute Discovery Call. We’ll chat about what you’re facing, and if I’m not the right fit, I’ll do my best to point you toward a resource or provider who is.
What makes you different?
My superpower is the ability to listen for what’s beneath the noise. I’ve spent 20 years in settings where people are forced to make life pivots by choice or circumstance. My style is purely collaborative—I’m not here to be a 'guru.' I’m a partner on your team who helps you find your footing, clear the fog, and move forward with your own sense of grit and grace.
