About
the process

Discovery

Comprehensive intake, getting to know you and what drives you.

We start with a supportive and deliberate conversation. Step back from urgency, develop trust, get to know you as a whole person and speak openly about what brings you greatest joy and the decisions, pressures, and responsibilities you're carrying.

Development

Choose deliberately.

With clarity, a plan, and regular one-on-one coaching, this is likely the only place where you receive unbiased feedback and have the chance to play and design experiments to try at home and work with fine tuning as necessary.

Let’s Start With a Conversation.

This is an opportunity to explore what you’re navigating, decide whether this approach feels useful, and determine if continuing the dialogue makes sense.

*No expectation to commit beyond the conversation itself.

FAQ's

FAQ's

How is this different from therapy or consulting?

Like therapy, we do consider the whole person, however, coaching is forward thinking and action oriented. You identify the changes you would like to see and we make sure you're on a path to realize these changes. Unlike consulting, coaching is intended to help you discover the answers that will work in your situation. By doing this instead of following someone elses formula, you are much more likely to realize lastig/transformal change.

What if I miss a session?

Life happens. If you can’t make it, you can reschedule your session, no problem. Just let me know in advance, and we’ll pick a new time that works for you.

How soon will I see changes?

Most people notice shifts during each session- more clarity, calmer days, better routines. Transformative changes generally develop more gradually as new behaviors become patterns.

What do I need to prepare?

You- and a willingness to look at yourself with a new perspective. Just bring yourself, a quiet space if possible, and an openness to explore what’s going on in your daily life. I’ll guide you step by step.
