Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is an interactive experience where we discuss your current reality and needs. Together we identify your goals and values then develop an action plan for aligning those within your day to day existence. We will work together to monitor your progress, have regular check-ins, and assess any shifts needed to achieve your goals. Your life should be the place you feel both comfortable and motivated to deeply grow. My role as your coach is to identify and catalyze the inherent potential already within you. Sometimes we don't know what to do. Other times, we don't know how. Coaching equips you with tools and resources you need to transform your perspective and develop practical life skills that apply in the here and now. So often it is not our circumstances that need to change, but rather our approach to them. That is what coaching does for you.

100%! What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions, just like seeing a therapist.

My background and education include extensive study into human behavior and why we as people do what we do. Rather than using that to explore childhood backgrounds or unresolved traumas as is often done in counseling, I incorporate these into my approach on how to move forward.  Where counseling focuses more on "why," coaching centers around "how." Coaching aligns your goals with practical, progressive action steps while counseling is a more time-oriented exploration process. Both have significant value and necessity, depending on where you find yourself. If there is a time I believe you would be better served by attending therapy rather than coaching, I will share that with you.

I have found that all of us have a use for coaching in different seasons of our lives. Like life, growth doesn't happen in a vacuum. We need each other. As humans, we are bent towards community. So, if we are going to do life well, we must do work ourselves and receive support as we go. Coaching is a partnership that allows you to pursue your goals, reorient your priorities, and make meaningful progress alongside a supportive figure who sees your potential, challenges your perspective, and equips you with the necessary resources along the road. It is a tool that bridges the gap between head knowledge and practical application.
