Frequently Asked Questions

---

What kind of coaching do you offer?

I offer emotionally-focused coaching rooted in attachment theory, emotional literacy, and relational wellness. I help people shift emotional patterns that keep them stuck, so they can feel more connected, clear, and at peace. 

Please note: I do not offer couples' sessions at this time. 

What happens in the free consultation?

It's a 20-25 minute video call to connect, talk about what's bringing you here, and answer any questions you have. There's no pressure— just a space to explore fit and alignment. 

How do I know if this is right for me?

You don't need to have everything figured out.  If you're feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, craving more emotional clarity, or wanting to relate to yourself and others differently, this work might be for you.  All that's needed is a willingness to explore with curiosity and care.

What does a session look like?

Each session is both spacious and tailored to your coaching priorities.  You bring what's top of mind for you, and we work with it in context—emotionally, relationally, and practically.  I ask questions, reflect back, offer insight, and support practice.  Sessions are collaborative and attuned to your pace. 

How often do people meet with you?

Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions.  We'll find a cadence that supports your unique needs and goals. Over time, many shift into less frequent meetings with ongoing work.

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?

Coaching is a collaborative process that is goal-focused, forward-looking, and action-oriented.  We address the past selectively in terms of how it impacts your present and the way you want to move forward.  I teach techniques that put you more in charge of your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and outcomes.

Unlike therapists, coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If you are experiencing symptoms and need clinical support, I recommend speaking to a licensed mental health provider or your primary care physician instead.

Where do sessions take place?

All sessions are held virtually via a secure video platform.  You can join from anywhere as long as you have privacy, a safe location, a good Internet connection, and are not in-transit. 

What is your current rate? 

My current rate is $135 per single 50-minute session.  My aim is to be accessible and comparable to what most would pay for experienced and skilled counseling. 

Consider selecting a path and purchasing a package to invest in yourself and receive the benefits of coaching at a savings. 

Do you offer scholarships?

Yes, a limited number of partial scholarships are available for those unable to afford the full price of coaching.  If this applies to you, please reach out to ask about current availability.

Is your practice inclusive?

I work with an economically and culturally diverse population of clients, and my practice is LGBTQIA+ welcoming and affirming. This is a trauma-aware and identity-inclusive space. I honor each client's cultural, relational, and personal context with care and respect.

If you have additional accessibility needs or preferences, please let me know. I'm committed to creating a space that feels honoring of your lived  experience.
