Each of our 60-minute sessions will take place on Zoom. We will begin by setting an intention for the session with a specific topic and a goal to reach about that topic by the end of the session.

We will explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors around the topic. I’ll ask you questions that will help you find a new understanding of the situation and we’ll make a plan going forward.

You’ll have homework and things to work on after each session and I will check in with you about that homework in the next session.

I am a Certified Professional Coach with a specialization in Performance. I graduated from iPEC, which is an ICF accredited institution. I also have a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. I am trained in Non-Violent Communication, I have extensive knowledge of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I have been doing coaching, therapy, and other emotional work myself for the past 27 years.

Honestly, I’ve had many successes with clients with just a single session, which is not good for business because those people don’t feel the need to come back! ;)

For real, though, I’m not into the whole “let’s get to know each other before we do any real work” approach. We begin working on your issues and goals in the first couple minutes of our first session.

The real work, though, gets done over many sessions that build upon each other. While you’ll make incremental progress in each session, you will create true joy and peace in your life by exploring more than one topic in more than one way over many sessions with me.

That’s why I prefer working with people in packages. Committing to a longer term engagement holds you accountable to show up for each session and do the (sometimes difficult) work.

Great question! Therapy and coaching have a lot of similarities and some differences, so you can decide for yourself. Therapists and coaches both hold a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Both are going to help you understsand yourself better so you can move through life being less reactive and more empowered.

Therapists are more equipped to work through big traumas, while I as a coach will touch on trauma but for the purposes of bringing more understanding to your current situation.

Therapists can diagnose mental illness and I can not. As a coach for high achieving perfectionists and athletes, I will also bring my unique mentorship to our sessions to help you reach your goals, while therapists generally don’t offer mentorship.

Yes, of course. You’ll find that option on my Services page. I’m happy to do single sessions with you, but I prefer to work with people in packages because there is a level of accountability that you get from me when you commit to a regular schedule. It’s also the most cost effective way to work with me, and you can pay monthly if the entire package is too expensive in one payment. It also helps me to have regularity in my schedule and client load. But again, you can certainly do one session at a time if you so choose.

Yes! We can do a free 15-minute introductory call where we’ll do a little bit of coaching and get all of your questions answered so we know if we’re a good fit. Just click the button below for the free intro call.
