Coaching & Mentoring
Creating space for change
We thrive when we give attention to the whole picture of our existence. Finding that balance is not easy.
As a coach and mentor, I provide space and tools to create change. I accompany people on their transformational journey towards wholeness.
I see myself as a field guide. I help people understand their current landscape and identify options to explore. I believe the answers we need are primarily already inside of us.
We simply require knowledge, time, and dedicated effort to uncover them.

FAQs
-
The cost of each 50-minute session is $120, which includes preparation and follow-up notes and materials.
-
I am not a licensed therapist or doctor.
Coaching does not replace the kind of training and expertise a medical professional provides in cases of serious trauma, mental or physical illness.
-
Personal change and forming new habits take time. For this reason, I encourage anyone starting coaching to plan on at least 3 monthly sessions.
However, the exact frequency and the number of sessions will depend on your personal goals.
For instance, someone building executive function skills may want to meet weekly to better integrate new planning and organizational techniques into their daily habits.
Another person may find that monthly meetings help them internalize ideas and complete the discovery exercises.
-
Individualized coaching, though very helpful, is not the only option.
Your recovery, your healing, your ability to change, does not depend on me, nor any other coach or healing professional.
I recovered from severe Long Covid/Dysautonomia with very little out-of-pocket costs by utilizing an inexpensive video program and free resources.
There is a lot of great content available for free via YouTube, podcasts, and through the public library.
Do not let finances block you from bringing about change in your life.
-
Whether you consider yourself religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheist, all people seek a meaningful life.
My coaching is not centered on any particular religious belief; however, exploring religious and spiritual ideas is very much welcome.
I’m a practicing Catholic and have an interest in all world religions and philosophies, particularly Daoism and Buddhism.
To bring about deep personal change, we must paradoxically accept both the limitations and the possibilities of life.
This often requires us to recognize that we have only limited agency.
Accepting that there is something greater beyond our control does not need to be a belief in a traditional image of God.
As Barbara Brown Taylor said, “These days when people tell me they don't believe in a higher power, it occurs to me, weather is a higher power.”
