Question 1

What type of clients do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I typically work with early to mid career professionals, from individual contributors to executives. My ideal clients are often looking for ways to be aware and authentic, while living a fulfilled life, without compromising their values for their work.

Question 2

How long does coaching usually last?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the coaching focus, most clients usually get what they need in 5-10 sessions. That usually takes 2-6 months depending on how often the client wants to meet. However, I've also worked with clients on an ongoing basis for years. Or clients come back after a few years when they have a new topic they need help with.

Question 3

How long, and how often are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are 1-hour via Zoom, and if we're done sooner and you'd like to hop off early that's ok too (usually, they take the full hour). Typically clients like to meet every other week to have time to do homework, practice, or reflect prior to the next session. However, I am ok with weekly sessions too. Some executive clients do monthly sessions but every two weeks truly is best to keep momentum.

Question 4

Can I get reimbursed for coaching?

Accepted Answer

Many companies provide a professional development budget that you can submit a receipt to and they'll reimburse you. Check your companies policy and I'm happy to include any information you need on the receipt.

Question 5

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy typically works with and heals the past, while coaching happens in the present to create the future. Sometimes in coaching it helps to briefly look back to inform the future, but coaching is not therapy. Doing both at the same time can be powerful!

Question 6

What outcomes have your clients seen with coaching?

Question 7

Can’t I just use AI for coaching?

Accepted Answer

AI can be a useful tool for generating ideas and offering perspectives. However, it isn't a substitute for a skilled, objective coaching relationship with someone who knows you, listens deeply, observes your non-verbals, notices your patterns over time, and is invested in helping you uncover what is actually true for you.
As your coach, I serve as a deep listener, provocative question-asker, thought partner, truth teller, and accountability partner. I bring more than 20 years of experience in people and talent development, along with years of listening and learning from some of the best leaders in business. In addition to offer the insights I've gained through my own inner work, self-development, and innate intuitive ability to hear what is being said and what isn’t.
I’m warm and approachable, but I’m also willing to hold up a loving mirror when something may be getting in your way. I listen between the lines, draw connections across what you share, challenge assumptions, and help turn insight into meaningful action.
I also don’t believe a coach’s job is to tell you what to do. You know your life, values, and circumstances better than anyone. My job is to help you get underneath the noise, see yourself and your situation more clearly, and excavate the clarity that is already within you.
Unlike many coaches, after each session, I personally summarize key insights, themes, and next steps from our conversation (without using AI) so you have a record you can return to, stay accountable to what matters, and continue building on your learning long after the session ends.
