coaching for the life you long for

I'm glad you're here! While my coaching uses some of the same approaches as the therapy I offer, coaching is not therapy and cannot treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and trauma.

As you read through the approaches I use for coaching, keep in mind that you can request the ones you want, or explore with me which might be most helpful.

I host sessions on a private video chat platform, and can provide coaching to people in any location with an internet connection.

My approaches:

Collaboration & Education

Coaching works best when you can identify a specific area of life you'd like to change. For example, your approach to a relationship, finding stronger community, strategizing how to stress less at work, or customize rituals that take beter care of you.

I weave collaboration and education into all my approaches to coaching.

Liberation

I bring awareness of the oppressive systems that impact our lives on every level. I depart from the Western attitude that views our difficulties as individual problems and failures.

I help my clients identify the ways that systems are affecting them so that we can find ways to bring in more safety and ease.

Areas of particular focus include neurodiversity, race, and gender.

Attachment

I've received advanced training in a research-validated model for developing security and connection in relationships, and learning how to get back to safety and connection when they are disrupted.

I bring this knowledge to coaching, where I guide clients in applying strategies to give and receive the care they need in their relationships.

Dream Work

I facilitate dream work from an approach that experiences the figures that visit us in our dreams as bearing potent medicine for our struggles.

As we come into relationship with these figures through imagination, we learn to apply that medicine to our daily life.

SoulCollage

SoulCollage is a simple practice that opens an extraordinary door. Our unconscious wisdom steps forward as we intuitively paste images together. Then, we use prompts to read the cards, conciously receiving that wisdom and its medicine.

The SoulCollage card deck you create can be used like tarot or oracle cards, with the difference that each card was made by you!

Typology

I've deeply studied Jung's typology, which was the foundation for the Myers-Briggs personality type system.

When there is interest, this can be an additional path for understanding yourself and your needs better.

Differences between therapy & coaching

While therapy treats mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma, coaching does not treat mental health conditions.
Therapy tends to focus on the client's past, as well as present and future. Coaching may include elements of your past for context, but the focus is on specific goals and areas that you want to change in their present and future.
In therapy, confidentiality is protected by law. While I keep all aspects of our coaching work private, confidentiality in coaching is not protected by law.
In therapy I am by law a mandated reporter of abuse. In coaching, I am not a mandated reporter.
