• Shortens your journey. Working with a coach allows you to make progress more effectively than relying on trial and error alone.

  Focuses on you and you alone. In this busy world, it’s hard to get anyone’s attention. Working with a coach ensures someone is focused on you and your unique needs.

  Lightens your burden. The number one emotion associated with burnout is overwhelm. You already have too much on your plate, and making decisions alone drains your energy. I’ll teach you how to redirect your focus to what you can control.

  Keeps you on track. We meet regularly to develop and implement an action plan to achieve your goals. Knowing you’ve got skin in the game and a session on the calendar is motivation to show up for yourself.

While coaching and therapy have some overlap, they also have significant differences. Understanding these differences can help determine which one is best for you.

• Therapy: Focuses on the present, includes a diagnostic evaluation, based on a medical model, paid for by the individual or insurance company, and requires provider licensing.

• Coaching: Focuses on the future, fosters individual performance, based on evidence-based coaching models and theories, paid for by the individual and/or employer, and practitioners are usually certified, though it’s not required because the coaching industry isn’t regulated.

Here are a few more things to keep in mind about coaching:

• Coaches emphasize taking action. This means that as the client, you are responsible for making progress, while the coach's role is to guide and support you, providing accountability in following through on your commitments.

• Coaches don’t tell you what to do. A coach’s job is to collaborate with you to come up with the best solutions to your challenges. In other words, coaches help you help yourself.

• Coaches are not licensed medical practitioners. Coaching can be therapeutic, but sometimes, things come up that require a different level of professional care. Some clients do coaching and therapy at the same time, as these practices can be complementary.

With over twenty years of nonprofit experience and five years of coaching under my belt, I combine my professional knowledge and lived experience to help women thrive personally and professionally.

I completed my Health Coach certification at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a program that equips graduates with the tools to improve their well-being and help others do the same.

I’ve also earned certifications in Stress Management, Mental Health First Aid, Reiki Level 2, and Gut Health to offer you well-rounded career and wellness support.

I’m currently pursuing a certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy.

The live calls are held via Zoom, eliminating the need to travel or reside in the same city.

We’ll talk as a large group and, depending on the group size, may utilize breakout rooms.

You can expect a combination of reflection and planning during each call so the insights you gain from our dialogue set you up to take action.

Expect less than an hour of homework between calls.

No. Here are two reasons why:

#1: To get the most from this experience, I ask that you attend the group calls. I want you to be present to yourself and each other rather than extracting information from recordings.

#2: I do my best to create a safe space where we can speak freely about our experiences, but that can’t happen when conversations are recorded. If you miss a call, I will only provide high level notes.

I accept all major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. I also accept PayPal. I am not set up to receive checks or invoices.
