What is life coaching?
Life coaching is a collaborative, forward-facing partnership. Unlike traditional advice-giving, we work together to uncover your personal strengths, identify the habits that hold you back, and build a practical roadmap toward the clarity and direction you deserve.
What happens in a typical session?
Each session is a calm, boundaried space for you. We typically begin by reviewing your progress and then dive into a specific focus for the day. Through careful listening and purposeful questioning, I help you find your own answers and set manageable steps for the week ahead.
Is this a replacement for therapy?
No, coaching is distinct from therapy or counseling. While therapy often focuses on healing past trauma or clinical conditions, coaching is focused on personal growth, action, and the future. I do not provide clinical mental health diagnoses or treatment.
Do I need to prepare anything before we start?
You don't need to have everything figured out before our first call. All I ask is that you bring a sense of openness and a willingness to explore. If there's something specific on your mind, that's a great starting point, but we can also find that focus together during our time.
