Coaching:

For people ready to turn insight into action.

“Is coaching right for me?”

Coaching may be a good fit if you’re feeling generally stable but want focused support around growth, clarity, or forward movement. It’s especially helpful if you’re navigating career decisions, identity shifts, burnout, or patterns that keep repeating—even when you understand them intellectually. Coaching is present- and future-oriented, practical, and collaborative, and works best for people who want structure, accountability, and insight without diving into deeper mental health treatment.

“How do I know if I need coaching or therapy?”

The difference often comes down to what you’re seeking support for. Therapy is typically the better fit if you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in long-standing patterns, impacted by trauma, or experiencing anxiety, depression, or distress that affects daily life. Coaching may be a good option if you feel generally stable but want clarity, direction, skill-building, or accountability around goals, transitions, or personal growth.

“Do I have to live in California to work with you?”

According to the rules & regulations of the coaching field, I’m able to see clients who reside anywhere in the world.

“What kind of coaching do you offer?”

Clients experience the best results when our work is focused on finding clarity in decision-making, navigating a career transition (such as tech to mental health), and/or developing greater self-confidence in everyday life.

‍ “Since you’re a therapist, do you incorporate therapy into coaching?”

While I’m trained as a therapist, I’m careful to keep coaching and therapy distinct. Coaching is not therapy, and coaching clients are not treated as therapy clients. Coaching focuses on present-day challenges, skill-building, and forward movement, while therapy involves mental health treatment and deeper emotional processing. If, during coaching, it becomes clear that therapy would be more supportive, I’ll name that transparently, and help you explore appropriate next steps. Coaching clients are ineligible to be therapy clients, according to industry law.
