FAQs

What is Coaching?

Coaching is an approach that focuses on taking steps in the present to build a desired future. It’s all about you! I am here to listen, engage, provide insights and tools, and encourage what is already there - your own vision to come to life!

Are you a therapist or counselor? What is the difference between a therapist and a coach?

I am NOT a therapist or a counselor. Therapy typically addresses issues in a client’s background and seeks to work through those issues until the client has found some “closure.” Therapy frequently uses diagnoses and can last anywhere from weeks to years.

Coaching, however, is forward-looking. We focus on education, habit building, mindset, and tools for clarity. Coaches do not diagnose or delve into personal histories. Instead, we work with the present to help build the desired future. We build practical skills and a positive, action oriented outlook.
