It depends on the coach! Coaches are distinct in their approach, experience, and training. I enjoy providing an open and engaging space for you to explore a life transition. This could be a shift in your career, a new opportunity, navigating uneasy emotions, a move to a new place, or redefining a relationship. Precious decisions require care and it is my honor to be by your side as you create meaningful change.

Coaches and therapists are distinct in a variety of ways. I have found both to be very important and here’s a little bit more about how they differ:

Therapy tends to focus on the past while moving towards a brighter future. Therapists are licensed by the state and can only work in that state. They often accept medical insurance and can diagnose and treat mental illness. Certain traumatic experiences are best worked through with a therapist. Therapists usually work with people on a longer term basis. I know some great ones if you need a recommendation.

Coaches meet people in the present moment and focus on the future. They can gain expertise and certification in a variety of ways and do not have to limit their services to a particular state. Coaches are great people to work with on achieving goals, moving through a transition, or starting a new endeavor. They primarily work with people in short to medium terms on certain hopes, goals, or desires. I know various types of coaches if you need a recommendation.

I find that having both a coach and therapist are a powerful duo.

Change isn’t easy. Yet, it’s constant.

I noticed that there wasn’t a lot of tailored support for the in-between moments of transition. When it’s messy. Or unclear. Yet, those moments of transition are when we have the most possibility. For me, being with that hope is what can be transformative.

So, if you are going through something mucky and hard, but see a glimmer of hope and just want to make it through - I help you brighten the focus towards the fullness of you.

You are the light that will guide you and I get to help energize that flow while you move through the heaviness of it all.

So if you need some ease and joy as you transition through something major a transition coach or Reset Doula like me, might be right for you!

That’s quite alright! In fact, in can be part of the coaching. Having the space to distill what you want, is something you can be coached on if you would like that support. Often times, we can find ourselves in the middle of something and unsure how to move or what we want. It’s natural to feel that way and as a coach, I enjoy working with people in those fuzzy moments when you might be unsure but clear that something needs to change. We can discover that something together.

And if you have a goal - that’s very welcomed, too! We can be action-orientated and I can help you meet your goal with more clarity, ease, and joy.
