Coaching
How I Work with Coaching Clients
Sometimes you don’t need therapy — you need clarity, direction, and a partner to help you take action. Coaching is future-focused, action-oriented, and centered on your performance, goals, and personal or professional development.
Coaching is typically a short-term, time-limited commitment for people who are functioning well but want to grow in a specific area of life or work. Together, we’ll set clear goals and create a practical plan to move you forward.
Our work often includes suggested readings, structured exercises, and action steps to complete between sessions — so that what happens in our conversations translates into real progress.
Moving Forward
Coaching is about creating momentum — clarifying what matters most, building the skills and confidence to go after it, and having a partner who helps keep you accountable along the way. If you’re ready to move from stuck to forward, I’d love to support you in that process.

Coaching vs. Therapy: What's the Difference?
While both coaching and therapy can be supportive and transformative, they serve different purposes:
-
Therapy helps you explore and heal from the past, understand patterns in the present, and build emotional tools to navigate life’s challenges. It’s especially useful if you’re experiencing significant distress, trauma, or mental health concerns.
-
Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented. It’s for people who are generally functioning well but want clarity, accountability, and support in reaching personal or professional goals. Coaching emphasizes growth, performance, and practical steps forward.
If you’re not sure which is right for you, I’m happy to talk through your goals and help you decide.
