The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

Coaching helps you get clear about your goals, bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It’s about creating “Aha!” moments with momentum.

Coaching and therapy are both centered around processing, asking questions and listening. However, there are some key differences.

First, coaching focuses on what is happening with your life in the present moment to help you create your desired future. Therapy tends to go into your past to help you manage your present life.

Second, coaching is action-oriented. We want to create momentum to move forward in life. That means we might co-create plans and homework for you to take action on after our session. Coaching integrates structure and accountability while therapy tends to be more strictly process-oriented.

Finally, coaches do not diagnose or work through early childhood traumas. We are not licensed or trained for that work. Often I will work with a client who sees both a therapist and myself.

We typically start by addressing any housekeeping issues (changes in schedules, etc) and then take a moment to get present and centered.

I open each session asking, “What would you like to walk away with today?” or “Do you have an intention for today’s session?” It’s OK if you don’t have an intention, but it’s important for me to ask.

The middle part usually consists of me asking you questions, reflecting back what I’m hearing and supporting you in your intention. My job is not to give advice and tell you what to do. You have the answers. I’m here to help you find them.

At the end, a plan to move forward has usually emerged. I will end each session asking, “What are you taking away with you?” or “What do you know now that you didn’t when we first began?”

Typically, women who experience:

• Dreading going to work

• Yelling at their kids

• Hyperfocusing on their mistakes

• Disrupted sleep

• Hyperactive inner critic

• Fear around losing their jobs

• Fighting with spouse/partner

• Ongoing resentment

• Avoiding conflict and speaking up

• Crying a lot

• Fantasies of walking away

No, my clients are people who need support, no matter their gender.

If you think I would be a good support for you, then take a moment to reach out.

Topics usually covered in sessions include: confidence, difficult conversations, boundaries, parenting, office politics, fear, worries, family dynamics, negative self-talk, anger, leadership, goals, values and more.

Yes, absolutely. It’s important to me that cost is not too big of a barrier to getting you the support you want.

1. Read the FAQs.

2. Sign up for a free consultation.

3. Meet with me!

If it’s not an excellent fit, I will help you find someone who is.

No problem. I tend to be flexible with my clients. If you are not getting your desired results, we will stop working together and your unused sessions will be refunded to you.

There are many reasons! But I’ll give you my top 3:

1. It’s free! And there’s no pressure to become a client.

2. You get one hour to focus on you. You’ll get insight, clarity and next steps.

3. If you’re here, it’s because something’s not going well in your life. How much longer do you want to wait for a shift?
