 FAQs

  • While therapy focuses on healing the past, coaching focuses on action-oriented plans to set you up for a better future. I will support and guide you, but I will never prescribe action or provide diagnoses. You are the expert on your life and will have full ownership over shaping and implementing the path forward.

  • Working with me is a whole lot like taking a hot cocoa break while skiing: you slip off your gear and slide on some slippers.

    I compassionately guide you through an exploration of where you are now, where you want to go, and the barriers in between, helping you connect dots and feel empowered by new ways of thinking.

    Together, we build step-by-step plans for you to safely experiment with new ways of being between sessions. As the puzzle pieces start forming the picture of your joyful, fulfilling life, I support you through the courageous, liberating process of sharing your unique, beautiful self with the world.
