FAQs

Do you only offer career coaching?

No. I’ve supported clients with life coaching, major transitions, parenting and much more. Submit an inquiry. If I don’t have the skills to help, I can probably make an awesome referral.

how many sessions do you recommend?

There isn’t a set number. Every client and case is a little different. Coaching is meant to be incredibly personalized. This isn’t a one-size fits all approach.

What’s the difference between coaching and Counseling?

Counseling often takes a detailed look at the past. A professional mental health provider, or licensed social worker will work with a client to unpack past traumas that may be affecting the present. As a coach, I’m focused on the future. I’ll work with you to understand where you are now, then help you build a roadmap to the future that you’ve envisioned for yourself.
