FAQs

A coach helps establish a dynamic, creative space for the client to explore new pathways and possibilities. This involves asking powerful questions, paying close attention to the client, the details of what they’re saying, noticing patterns and nonverbal cues, and engaging deeply with them to help them discover guidance within themselves.

Many people can benefit from coaching! Those who get the most out of the process are often people who have:

• a sensation of wanting change but have less of an idea about what kind of change or how to get started

• experienced a life transition and are not quite sure what comes next, how to regain confidence, or how to move forward

• decided to start or change careers, but are not yet sure what they want to do or how to get going

• noticed themselves caught in unhelpful habits, disorganization, or chaotic life patterns, and want to make lasting change

• found themselves repeating the same challenges in life or relationships and would like a hand off the merry-go-round

• engaged in some healing work with a counselor or therapist and are still seeking support in creating and maintaining changes in their life

… and so much more!

It depends on the number and scope of changes you are trying to make. After your initial consultation, I can help you determine an appropriate timeframe based on the goals and issues you discuss.

It depends! A good place to start is determining if you mostly need help healing or transforming. A certain amount of each is possible with either coaching or counseling, but only a counselor is trained to help you recover from adverse experiences or trauma, cope with chronic stress, depression and anxiety, or work through other profound internal issues.

A coaches is a valuable resources for creating changes that have proved difficult to make on your own. Don’t worry if you’re still not sure who can help you best — schedule a free initial consultation, and we can help you figure it out.

A coaching engagement is based around where you want to go. Each session within that engagement will focus on discrete aspects of your goals or situation, or on other areas of life you would like to refresh or transform.

I will ask you questions around your issue, explore your patterns and strategies, help you design plans, and help you notice and overcome both the internal and external obstacles that block your path from time to time.

Come to your sessions willing to dive deep, play with new ideas, and engage with different perspectives to help you find clarity.

My current fee is $87 for a 50-minute session, but pricing can vary based on the payment plan you choose. I never want money to be a barrier to help. If your financial situation requires something more particular, please discuss this with me during your intro session so we can come up with a plan together.

Because the field of coaching is not regulated by a licensing body, it cannot be billed to insurance. You can check with your benefits provider if you have an HSA or FSA account that might be used to cover your sessions.

We can address any questions you have about this in our initial consultation.

Do your homework, engage, be open, and think & feel deeply. A coach, like any other wellness professional, cannot unlock the answers to yourself for you. It’s your life — lasting change will be easiest to create with your wholehearted participation and willingness to work on your own behalf.

For my part, I will help by celebrating your work, holding you accountable to your values and dreams, and guiding you through the rich world of your possibilities.
