Frequently Asked Questions

While both life coaches and therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on addressing mental health issues and past traumas, while life coaches focus on helping individuals achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being. Although trauma may come up in a session, it's not necessarily the primary focus on our journey.

My approach to goal-setting is to help clients identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. I also work with clients to create an action plan and provide accountability to ensure they stay on track to achieve their goals. Each goal is, of course, catered to my client's needs and appropriate timing so they may achieve it in a pace that is suitable.

Confidentiality is of utmost importance in my coaching practice. I adhere to the International Coach Federation's (ICF) Code of Ethics, which includes strict guidelines for maintaining client confidentiality.

I completely understand hesitancy when approaching a coaching relationship, and I encourage questioning throughout the entire process - my job is to help my clients feel safe in the guidance that I offer as we co-create the journey that they determine is right for them. This allows us the freedom to pivot at any moment and explore new opportunities that feel most right at any given time. If my client feels they are nearing the end of their experience in the coaching process, I am always grateful for whatever time shared together as we discuss what the right time for completion is.

The packages I offer are not mandatory, however they are highly encouraged, as we all can agree - true change takes time. If a new client would like to start off their coaching experience at their own pace, I am more than happy to accommodate with pay-per-session coaching.
