How do I create a career that deeply fulfills me, a life that feels like me?

I offer a blend of career and life coaching, in which the intersection of what we do and who we are become the entry and anchor for your personal exploration. Together we will empower your growth through the principles of the creative process, personal development and spiritual inquiry.

Q + A

WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is where we explore the meeting point of the present and the future (while traditional talk therapy tends to focus more on the past influencing the present). In coaching you learn to build the confidence, courage and resilience necessary for choosing a life that is uniquely your own. Ultimately coaching is founded on the belief that every person is creative, resourceful and whole, and sometimes we’re best reminded of that through relationship and deep inquiry.

HOW DOES COACHING WORK?

The power of coaching and mentorship lies within the creation of a conscious, reciprocal and loving relationship between coach and client. In this relationship, the client is able to find the safety and support needed to reevaluate their reactions, decisions and intentions to then ultimately carve out a new, more aligned path forward. Through unwavering positive regard, loving but firm accountability and the practice of mirroring, the relationship itself becomes a container in which the client is able to rediscover their own inner wisdom and abundant resources. From this place we naturally cultivate the grounds for powerful personal transformation.

WHAT’S YOUR STYLE OF COACHING?

To me, the benefits of coaching are often in discovering your own resourcefulness, activating your latent courage, and building compassionate awareness for your own humanness. I bring an adaptive presence that will follow the current of your session’s unfolding, while also poking into your inner landscape intuitively with a gentle but firm curiosity. We will explore the nuances of your belief systems and various identities with precision and levity. Prepare for many metaphors and giggles.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

  • You can expect me to be respectful, non-judgement and neutral in position, while still maintaining an authentic openness that’s required for establishing shared intimacy.

  • You are expected to maintain a sense of responsibility for the coaching process and its outcomes.

  • You can expect to enter a process in which you will likely become more aware of your belief systems, identities and blocks, while discovering opportunities and available choices within the context of your career and life.

WHAT SHOULD I NOT EXPECT?

  • I will not promote any particular agenda, meaning I am not here to plan out our sessions, determine your goals or encourage any outcomes beyond whatever you are choosing.

  • I am not a therapist or mental health professional, so I will not be responsible for diagnosing or even affirming any previously diagnosed conditions.

  • I cannot guarantee any particular outcomes, as the nature and conditions of coaching do not permit me to do so.

HOW WILL I KNOW IT’S WORKING?

Coaching facilitates expansion in both how we relate to the world internally as well as externally. You’ll know it’s working if:

  • Your inner dialogue is moving into a new pattern: less of a spiral towards destruction and demonization and instead moving towards curiosity and compassion.

  • You feel more present and relaxed in your life, and therefore are able to have new reactions to previously triggering situations.

  • You feel more courageous and confident in the face of stagnation or resistance, and therefore are able to make new choices.

  • You are more focused on the actions that will move you towards accomplishing your long-term goals.

  • You feel more connected to your intuition and life force energy.

  • You are learning new tools for self-inquiry, inching towards self-mastery, and are establishing a contemplative orientation.

  • Building deeper intimacy with yourself is a practice you’ve fallen in love with.
