Common Questions About Coaching

Understanding your options is the first step toward healing

  • I work with three primary groups: families dealing with estrangement or broken relationships, couples seeking to improve communication and rebuild trust, and individuals navigating stress, anxiety, and the need for better emotional structure. Whether you're a parent, adult child, partner, or individual looking for support, I tailor my approach to your specific situation.

  • While therapy often focuses on processing past trauma and emotional healing, coaching is more action-oriented and future-focused. As a Clini-Coach® with 30+ years of therapy experience, I bring the best of both worlds: deep psychological understanding combined with practical strategies and goal-setting. We'll work together to create concrete steps forward and build the relationships and life structure you want.

  • You can expect compassionate, skilled guidance tailored to your unique needs. We'll start with a free consultation to clarify your goals, then create a customized coaching plan.
