Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Coaching and Counseling?

Coaching is not intended to address clinical mental health needs. If you are having difficulty in your daily functioning (desire to eat, drive to get out of bed, motivation to go to work, etc..) or feeling more significant symptoms (thoughts of self-harm, excessive alcohol and use of illicit drugs and feelings of hopelessness, etc..) then mental health therapy is the more appropriate path for you at this time. 

What is Motivational Encouragement Coaching?

Coaching can look different for everyone, depending on what you are looking to achieve. My  approach to coaching is to meet you where you are with respect and understanding. I am here as a support, instructor and guide, however I encourage and motivate YOU to not only set the goals but work with you on implementing strategies on how to achieve them, to live a more fulfilled and happy life.

Is Coaching confidential?

Yes, absolutely. As in the therapeutic relationship, coaching is strictly confidential. I will not disclose that you are a coaching client to anyone nor will the details of our sessions be shared outside our meetings.

Who do you work with?

I work with women who struggle with prioritizing their own self-care. Women who feel guilty for saying NO or feel pressure to please those around them, even at the expense of their own happiness. I work with women looking to experience happiness and fulfillment in their life including their relationship with themselves and others. I work with women who struggle with a decrease in self-confidence that creates fear and apprehensions keeping them from creating positive change. I work with anyone who is at a place in their life where they want to make positive change. Those who want to be happy and live a life of fulfillment and are looking for a coach to be a guiding hand and resource to help encourage, instruct and motivate you on your journey.

I work with couples who are having difficulty communicating their thoughts and feelings with one another. I work with couples whose relationship has been severed by infidelity, financial concerns, miscommunication, unresolved conflicts and other issues that have led to a breakdown in trust and make communication difficult. Working with couples to establish healthy boundaries, while creating a space of respect, security and safety while teaching skills of listening and hearing one another are some of the building blocks of rebuilding what has been fractured. 

I work with couples just beginning their journey together including those moving in together, couples deciding to make a long-term commitment (engagement, marriage, personal commitment to one another). I also work with couples who have made the decision to expand their family either through foster care, adoption or pregnancy including those who are beginning these processes or are struggling with making the decision with making these commitments with their partners. It can be difficult communicating your feelings with your partner, especially when the subject is intimate and sensitive. 

Remember to be kind to the person you care for as well as yourself, keeping in mind that both of your feelings and thoughts matter in the decision making process. 

Is there a Cancelation Policy?

Life happens. Please be courteous of my time as I will be of yours. If you need to reschedule a session ( more than 24 hours in advance) and there is availability in scheduling, there will be no charge. If it is a last minute cancelation (less than 24 hours) you will be charged for the session. There are life’s emergencies. Please contact me with these concerns, if they arise.

How will we meet?

Our sessions will be held on a Telehealth platform. We will begin with a Free 15-minute discovery call to see if we are a good fit for one another. This is a big decision and should not be taken lightly. I want to make sure that you are starting your journey off in the right place.

Do you accept insurance?

Although I am a Licensed Professional Independent Counselor, I am providing Coaching services and not mental health therapeutic practices. Currently I will not be providing Counseling services and accepting insurance. If and when this changes I will post information on this site and social media.
