Welcome! If you’re feeling stuck, struggling to make the shifts you need or to maintain positive change, looking for support with goals or with big transformation…
Coaching can move you forward!
Feeling unable to make changes does NOT mean you lack willpower or discipline. It does not mean there’s something wrong with you. For all of us, moving forward can be hard and many things get in our way, but I can help you see the bigger picture, find your right path, and learn how to navigate the inner and outer obstacles you face.
This is a place where you can show up and be exactly who you are. I hold the space in our coaching sessions with gentleness and compassion, while skillfully supporting you in finding solutions and creative ideas to get you where you want to be.
Coaching focuses on what matters most to YOU, and creates lasting results in a surprisingly short amount of time!
This includes lifestyle, physical health, mental and emotional wellness, stress management, personal growth, mindset, and at the heart of it all: Empowering you in your journey.
What is Coaching? (and how is it different from Therapy?)
Short-term and goal-oriented:
I’ve been a licensed psychotherapist for over 16 years and know how important therapy can be. And many people enjoy working with a coach and a therapist at the same time. What makes coaching different is that you don’t need to dive into your history and you can get results fast. You may feel like you need coaching for just a couple months at a time (though you can continue as long as it feels helpful).
Focused approach:
Coaching focuses on specific targets in the here and now, helping you move forward in the directions you want.
Clarity for your next steps:
Coaching creates clarity on the best steps to take and on what will best support you. It can be a truly transformative experience, OR it can focus simply on one issue that you wish to address.
Why choose a Certified Mindful Coach?
I was trained and certified by Guiding Mindful Change, a fully accredited program training coaches for 20 years. Mindfulness means, quite simply and beautifully, being fully awake to the present moment and all its possibilities. It means listening deeply, seeing clearly, being open and curious, and knowing ourselves intimately, without harsh judgement. My own mindfulness has always been the foundation of my work with clients, enabling me to understand and relate on a profound level, facilitating powerful insights and transformation. And there are many Mindfulness practices and tools that can be shared in sessions if desired.
Health and Wellness Coaching explores issues that are impacting your health and preventing you from achieving the level of wellness that you want, and it provides you with the knowledge and strategies that are most appropriate based on YOUR priorities and your situation. I can offer skilled Health and Wellness Coaching if that’s what you’re looking for, but if not, coaching can help with many other types of issues.

Coaching for the Neurodivergent
If you identify as Highly Sensitive, Introverted, an Empath, Autism Spectrum, or just wired differently (divergent) from most of the people around you, then standard approaches for changing habits might not feel like a fit. I understand how important it is that you feel safe to be yourself, and I help you explore how to move forward in authentic AND effective ways.
For so many reasons, it can be hard to give ourselves the patience and kindness we so badly want. Maybe people-pleasing and perfectionism feel like the only way to get our needs met. Maybe we weren’t taught as children that we are inherently good and worthy of love. I can help you unlearn these mistaken beliefs and start to live as you deserve to: feeling whole, healthy, supported, and empowered.
