Coaching is forward-focused and practical — we work on understanding yourself, building strategies, and making concrete progress toward your goals. Therapy addresses mental health, trauma, and clinical concerns. The two can complement each other, and I'm glad to work alongside a therapist if you have one. If something comes up in our work that would be better served by a clinical professional, I'll say so directly.

No. Many clients come with a formal diagnosis; many don't. What matters is that the strategies we develop actually fit how you think and work. The research I draw on is about information perception and how people navigate environments — it applies regardless of whether a formal label is attached.

The method exists in those formats too — and I think that kind of self-directed learning has real value. What coaching adds is that the work is built around you specifically: your patterns, your environment, your goals. I've spent twenty years studying this and working with people one-on-one. The difference tends to show up in the speed and depth of what shifts, and in the accountability of having someone who knows your specific situation in your corner.

We start with a conversation — not an intake form or a checklist. I want to understand how you're thinking about your situation, what you've already tried, and what you actually want to be different. From there, I'll share how I see the work and whether I think we're a good fit. I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation so you can get a feel for how I work before committing to anything.

Yes. I hold a small number of reduced-rate slots for clients who need them, because access matters to me and is part of what I'm building toward at a larger scale. If cost is a barrier, reach out — I'd rather have that conversation than have you not get support you need.
