Coaching is a partnership that engages clients in thought-provoking and creative processes that inspires them to maximize their potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, integrity, and freedom.

What coaching is, and what is it not:
Coaching is not consultation or counseling.
Traditional consulting is expert-driven and focused on narrowing a problem towards a solution. Traditional counseling is therapist-driven and focuses on addressing the emotional and psychological roots of behavioral issues.
While some might like to draw hard lines between coaching, consulting, and counseling, the truth is that they often blur. At times as a coach, I may invoke elements of counseling and consultation based on the specific, individualized needs of my clients. That being said, I will not diagnose you, prescribe medication for you, or generally tell you what to do. If it becomes apparent that you would be better served by a therapist or consultant, I will do my best to refer you to someone who can meet your needs.
Note about pricing: Money should never be the barrier to us working together. I hold my clients as co-collaborators–we do this together. Introductory sessions are always free–this is where we discover if we are right for each other. If you cannot afford my standard rates, we will collaborate together to determine a fair exchange.
