The core difference is the focus and direction. Therapy is typically backward-looking, focused on healing past trauma and addressing clinical mental health issues. Coaching is strictly forward-looking. We acknowledge the past but focus on the present and future, working on where you are now and creating an actionable plan to get you where you want to be.

Our coaching is built on a structured, results-oriented methodology. It typically starts with a deep-dive session to clearly define your vision, values, and goals. From there, we work together in weekly or bi-weekly sessions to break down those goals into small, manageable, actionable steps. My role is to ask powerful questions, hold you accountable, and help you identify and overcome the mindset blocks holding you back. You'll leave every session with clear action items and a personalized plan.

While true transformation is ongoing, most clients start seeing tangible clarity and momentum within the first 4 to 6 weeks. I recommend a minimum commitment of three months because significant, lasting change takes time to integrate new habits and dismantle old patterns. My goal isn't to create dependence, but to give you the tools so you become your own best coach, concluding our engagement when you feel confident and equipped to move forward independently."

We hold my certification from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) & have completed over 500 hours of one-on-one coaching. As for confidentiality, it is a foundational ethical commitment. Everything we discuss—personal details, goals, and fears—is kept completely confidential, with the sole exception being a legal requirement to disclose information if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. We will outline this commitment clearly in our initial coaching agreement.
