Coaching is a relational container creating a space to explore one’s beliefs, patterns, perspectives, decisions, commitments, biases, fears, skills and self-identifications to ultimately enhance or restore one’s capacity to experiment directly within their lived experience/reality. This is a place to receive cognitive, emotional and action-based support so you can move towards more of what you want for your life. 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.
Coaching is not therapy and does not heavily explore trauma, childhood/family patterning or psychological dysfunction.

The power of coaching lies within the creation of a conscious, direct and caring 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 discover a 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 connect to their own inner wisdom and resourcefulness. From this place we naturally cultivate the grounds for powerful personal transformation.
Coaching invites transformation effectively, rapidly and permanently because humans are designed to evolve in relationship. Self-help books are wonderful for education but often don’t offer the same impact as a relational intimacy.

I bring an adaptive presence that follows the current of a session's unfolding, while also poking into your inner landscape intuitively with a gentle but firm curiosity. My role is to bring empathy, attention and tension so that you can burst through blocks and into actionable insight. We explore the nuances of belief systems, identity structures and choices with precision and levity. I bring many metaphors, curse words and giggles.
Please note that I am not a therapist or mental health professional, so I will not be responsible for diagnosing or even affirming any previously diagnosed conditions.

Your inner dialogue is moving into a new pattern, often moving less into victimization and more towards curiosity and compassion.
You feel more present and relaxed in your life and especially within unknown variables, and therefore are able to have new reactions and experiences to previously triggering situations.
You feel more courageous and confident 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, moving towards self-mastery, and are establishing a contemplative orientation.
You have deeper intimacy with yourself and a more established capacity to accept your complexities, deficiencies and past experiences.
