What is coaching and how is it different from therapy or consulting?
Coaching is a partnership that focuses on helping you achieve clearly defined goals through a forward-looking, action-oriented approach. While coaching considers the whole person and seeks to understand you in detail, it does not delve into the past to heal psychological wounds as therapy does. Instead, coaching centers on your current situation and the path forward. Unlike consulting, coaching does not provide direct answers or tell you what to do. Rather, it supports you in accessing your own clarity, challenging assumptions, and taking meaningful action. You remain the expert on your own life and career.
What does "clarity" mean in the context of your coaching?
Clarity in my coaching encompasses four main dimensions: clarity of purpose (understanding what you stand for), authenticity (leading in alignment with your true self), resilience (managing pressure without losing your sense of self), and equanimity (remaining steady amid uncertainty).
Who do you work with?
I have coached people from all walks of life, but I specialize in three groups: C-suite executives navigating complexity and scale, physicians battling burnout or stepping into formal leadership roles for the first time and senior leaders who are in career transition or seeking deeper alignment between their values and their work. If you're a high achiever who feels stuck, unclear, or ready to level up your leadership, this work is for you.
How do I know if coaching is right for me right now?
Coaching works best when you're ready to be honest, do the inner work, and take action. You don't need to have it all figured out; in fact, most clients come with a sense that something needs to shift but aren't sure what. If you're coachable, curious, and committed to growth, the timing is probably right. The consultation call is the best way to find out.
What qualifies you to coach leaders, executives and physicians?
I spent 20 years practicing emergency medicine- a field that demands real-time decision-making under pressure, team leadership in high-stakes moments, and the ability to remain steady when everything around you is in motion. I have started several businesses and held leadership roles both in and outside of the medical field. These lived experiences are the foundation of my coaching. Additionally, I received my coaching training at the Hudson Institute, one of the most respected coach training organizations in the world.
How much does coaching cost?
Coaching at this level is a significant investment in yourself, your career, and your leadership. Fees vary depending on the engagement type and scope. I'm happy to discuss specifics on a consultation call. My services are designed for senior leaders, physicians and executives, and the pricing reflects that level of depth and expertise. Regradless of pricing, at the end of our engagement, if you don't feel that the experience was worth it, you tell me what you want to pay... This alleviates your concerns and keeps me on my game.
Can my organization or employer pay for coaching?
Yes, and many do. Coaching is increasingly recognized as a strategic investment in the corporate world, healthcare systems, medical groups, and leadership development programs. I can provide documentation and invoicing appropriate for organizational reimbursement. If your employer has a professional development budget, coaching often qualifies.
Is everything I share in sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is foundational to the coaching relationship. What you share stays between us. The only exceptions are standard ethical obligations, such as imminent risk of serious harm. If your employer is sponsoring your coaching, we'll be transparent upfront about what, if anything, is shared (typically limited to participation and progress milestones, never session content).
