About the Coaching

Understanding the work we do together.

Who do you work with?

I coach adults beyond active crisis whose lives have been changed or are continually shaped by illness, injury, diagnosis, or health trauma. I also coach parents and guardians navigating the ongoing impact of a child's significant health circumstances.

What does "beyond active crisis" mean?

It means you're no longer in the acute, emergency phase of a health event. You may still be managing ongoing symptoms, treatments, or long-term realities, but you have the capacity to reflect, explore, and plan what comes next. Coaching is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy often focuses on healing the past. Coaching focuses on who you are now and what you want next. As a trauma-informed coach, I hold space for your full story while helping you move forward with clarity, structure, and self-trust.

What does "trauma-informed" mean in practice?

It means the pace, tone, and structure of our work honors what your nervous system has been through. You set the pace. Nothing is forced. We build safety, choice, and grounding into every session.

Getting Started & Working Together

Practical answers about paths, packages, and next steps.

Where should I begin if I'm new to coaching?

Many people begin with the Digital Entry Experience, a series of short, guided videos with worksheets, values exploration, and grounding exercises. It's a low-risk way to reconnect with yourself before deciding whether deeper coaching is right for you.

What coaching options do you offer?

There are six pathways: a Digital Entry Experience, Individual Coaching Sessions, a 6-Week Individual Coaching Engagement, BUILD FROM HERE™ group programs for adults and for parents/guardians, and WHAT COMES NEXT™, a 12-month private coaching experience for sustained forward movement.

How do I know which level is right for me?

We start with a fit conversation. Together we'll look at where you are, what you're hoping to move toward, and what level of structure and access feels right. There is no wrong entry point, only the one that matches this season of your life.

Do you work with parents and guardians separately?

Yes. BUILD FROM HERE™: Parents & Guardians is a dedicated 8-10 week group specifically for parents and guardians navigating the ongoing impact of a child's significant health circumstances. Your experience deserves its own space.

What happens between sessions?

Each engagement includes clearly defined, bounded communication, whether that's email, text, or community access. The level of between-session support scales with the depth of the program you choose.

Logistics & Care

The everyday details that matter.

Are sessions virtual or in person?

All coaching sessions are held virtually, so you can participate from wherever feels most comfortable and grounded for you.

Is coaching a substitute for medical or mental health treatment?

No. Coaching complements, but does not replace, medical care, therapy, or other clinical treatment. I'm honored to be part of your continuum of care alongside your trusted providers.

How do I refer a patient or client?

I welcome partnerships with clinicians, therapists, and care teams. Please reach out directly and we'll find the right pathway for the person you're supporting.

What if I'm not ready yet?

That's welcome information too. You can start with the Digital Entry Experience at your own pace, join the community, or simply stay in touch until the timing feels right. There is no expiration on your unfolding.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Let's talk, gently, honestly, and at your pace.

Share what's on your mind, and I'll personally respond. There's no pressure and no obligation, just an honest conversation about what might support you next.
