Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you have a specialization?
As a counselor, I specialize in helping clients navigate death, divorce, illness, career change and midlife. I have a deep professional and personal understanding of, and appreciation for, the grieving process.
I use my coaching skills to help clients to recognize and overcome the outworn beliefs and gnawing doubts that keep them in old, limiting, patterns by giving them tools to create a new path going forward.
The combination of psychological understanding, practical guidance, and spiritual wisdom creates a space for transformation to organically unfold.
-
How long does this take?
The counseling/coaching process varies greatly depending on the client's situation and desire. While some clients are seeking practical counsel and come for as few as four sessions, others discover that longer-term work becomes a spiritual path of deep healing, unfolding, and self-discovery. I have worked with a number of clients for many years.
While there is no one answer as to the length of the process, what is universally true is that this process is an investment in your health, happiness and well-being that will forever improve all aspects of your life.

What's the difference between coaching and counseling?
Generally speaking, counseling looks at past conditions with the focus on healing and optimizing your current life experience. Coaching creates a template for moving forward. I offer a bespoke experience for each client, interweaving aspects of counseling, coaching, and teaching based on your concerns, background, needs and desires.

What can I expect?
You can expect a relaxed, warm, non-judgmental and conversational experience in your sessions; no cool and distant therapy here! We generally meet once a week for an hour.
Long term you can expect to feel more empowered and courageous, more connected to your authentic self, and to have greater peace, clarity and confidence.
