FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Who do you work with?
-
I exclusively work with people who are ready to start taking action towards what they want, what's not working and who are not okay with letting things that they wish would occurred just lingering in the ether. So, I partner with people who are ready for change. My clients are creative and full of ambition—many of them are multi-passionate, tremendously successful, highly functioning people who are taking full ownership of their life and experiences and who are coming up with creative solutions. I serve a wide range of individuals including, teachers, empty-nesters, entrepreneurs, actors, designers, grant-writers, authors, stay at home producers, lightworkers, directors, writers, functional practitioners, social workers, photographers, and creative executives.
- What can I expect?
-
I’m not a therapist or a lifestyle guru/expert. There are a lot of people out there who do a lot of different types of coaching, and what I do specifically is architecture with people. Together we explore, through the art of slowing down, to guide you through a process of relating to your personal and professional life in a creative way that brings intention, clarity, abundance, freedom, and a deeper sense of playfulness and joy.
In my conversations, I often hear from people who WANT a life they love, but they are not aware of what specific actions, behaviors, and commitments contribute to that. My coaching style is a combination of honesty, curiosity, humor, directness and loving.
Hardship and challenge can be used to create good and it has the ability to allow you a more deep, wise and enriched experience of life. We get to explore identifying old beliefs that can be updated, courageously unlock personal blocks to achieve greater success, learning obstacles as stepping stones, heal childhood trauma to free you from creating repeat heartbreak, explore inner shadow work to bring light to deeper meaning, navigate an intentional sense of listening, regulating your central nervous system for greater peace and harmony and trusting gut instincts.
As you fundamentally shift perspectives to make courageous decisions, you learn to embrace everything in life as learning, growth and upliftment. I create a personalized experience based on specific goals and lifestyle changes that help support your vision.
- How does this work?
-
YOU are the curriculum. I don't have answers already made. I bring my own curiosity, resources and experiences from years of my own self development, group & professional coaching, living and thriving with chronic illnesses and three major shifts in reinventing myself. I have the tools to help to dive into what is stagnant and create change for what is next. As a coach, we work both your inner and outer worlds, layer-by-layer. It is really up to your willingness, commitment and creativity to get clarity for your vision. With an open heart and mind, my commitment is to give you my full attention while challenging you to strive towards the life you've dreamed of!

- What is Therapy vs. Life Coaching?
-
In my experience they are two totally different professions and benefiting from both at the same time is a great opportunity.
Therapy tends to focus on the past - giving you considerable tools to work through old patterns and help with emotional triggers. There are various kinds of therapy, counseling, etc.
Coaching is about taking considerable action while also focusing and creating the future. Taking considerable action isn’t for everybody. It is for the people who are very serious about creating more of what they want for their life! Deeper fulfillment. Greater Love. Deeper Self Esteem. Coaching supports and guides action around their ideas.
Another way I've expressed in the simplest of terms -- Therapy is the Archaeology and Coaching is the Architecture.
