Level up with the support of a Board Certified Coach + the skills of a therapist.

Why Coaching Works (Especially in Recovery)

Your life experiences gave you strength, resilience, and self-awareness. If you’re in recovery you probably also have insights that most people never develop. Coaching helps you leverage these existing strengths to create the life you want.

The accountability factor: It's easy to ignore the practices that help you thrive when you're doing it alone. With coaching, you have someone invested in your success, helping you stay consistent with the tools and strategies that actually work.

Solution-focused approach: We don't spend sessions rehashing problems. We identify what's working, build on it, and create concrete action plans to move you forward.

Skills for life: The tools and strategies you learn in coaching become part of your permanent toolkit, helping you navigate future challenges with confidence.

Why work with a Board Certified Coach slash therapist?

Anyone can call themselves a coach, but board certification means there’s additional oversight and training to provide ethical, effective services.

Board certification (in addition to my counseling licensure and specialized training) means I have advanced training and expertise helping people get focused, take action, and achieve their goals. I use proven, solution-focused methods specifically designed to help you:

  • Get and keep motivation even when life gets challenging

  • Identify and overcome obstacles before they derail your progress

  • Hold you accountable when you get in your own way

  • Build on your successes to create lasting momentum

  • Feel truly empowered to create the changes you want

My Coaching Approach

  • 2. REFLECT

    We examine what's working, what isn't, and why. Together, we identify patterns, celebrate wins, and uncover the obstacles that have been holding you back. This isn't about dwelling on the past—it's about learning from it to move forward faster.

FAQ’s About Coaching

  • Coaching is Perfect If You:

    • Are in recovery and functioning well - You've done the foundational work to manage mental health symptoms and/or are stable in your eating disorder recovery

    • Want to level up - You're not just surviving anymore; you're ready to thrive and create something amazing with your life

    • Are ready to take action - You want concrete strategies and are willing to do the work between sessions

    • Have specific goals - Whether it's career advancement, better relationships, food freedom, or personal growth

    • Want accountability - You know what to do but struggle with consistency and follow-through

    • Are tired of surface-level solutions - You want to address root causes and create lasting change

    Coaching May Not Be Right If You:

    • Are in active crisis - If you're dealing with acute mental health symptoms, active addiction, or safety concerns, therapy is more appropriate

    • Just want someone to listen - While I provide support, coaching is action-oriented and goal-focused

    • Aren't ready to make changes - Coaching requires commitment to trying new approaches and stepping outside your comfort zone

    • Are looking for a quick fix - Real transformation takes time and consistent effort

    The Sweet Spot for Coaching

    You're functioning well in most areas of your life, but you know there's more. Maybe you're successful but burned out, eating regularly but still struggling with food guilt, or maintaining relationships but having trouble setting boundaries. You've proven you can overcome huge challenges—now you want to use those same skills to create a life that truly lights you up.

  • No, coaching is not therapy. Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented, designed for people who are already functioning well and want to achieve specific goals. If you're in active crisis or dealing with severe mental health symptoms, therapy may be more appropriate. Check out my therapy pages for more info.

  • Most clients see significant progress within 3-6 months, though this varies based on your goals and commitment level. We'll discuss realistic timelines during your consultation.

  • Many of my clients have tried other methods without lasting success. My board-certified, solution-focused approach is specifically designed to help you build momentum and maintain progress over time.

  • While I specialize in working with people in recovery from eating disorders and complex trauma, my approach is effective for anyone who is generally functioning well but wants to level up their life in specific areas.
