What are the benefits of working with a life coach?

• You start taking more effective and focused actions immediately

• You stop putting up with petty annoyances

• You create momentum so it’s easier to get results

• You set better goals that are based on what you really want

• You have more time and energy

 

Why does life coaching work?

Life coaching works for several reasons:

• The synergy between the life coach and client creates momentum and enthusiasm.

• Better goals are set— ones that naturally motivate the client.

• The client develops new skills, which lead to greater success.

• Life coaching provides a structure of support. Left to our own devices, we start out with the best intentions and then, we hit a snag and it can derail us completely or cause a long delay. A life coach can help you quickly break through blocks so that more is accomplished with less struggle and less effort.

• Your life coach is an objective, positive supporter. Not everyone is lucky enough to have such a friend or colleague to provide this. If you’ve been doing it solo, try seeing how much more you can accomplish with a life coach!

Why is life coaching so popular?

• People are realizing how simple it can be to accomplish something that might have felt out of reach or like a pipedream. A coach is not a miracle worker (well, they are, sometimes) but a coach does have a

• People are tired of doing what they “should” do and are ready to do something special and meaningful for the rest of their lives. Problem is, many can’t see it, or if they can, they can’t see a way to reorient their life around it.

​Note: Life coaching is not therapy. Coaches don’t work on past-based issues or traumas. If you start the process of life coaching and have not resolved a past issue, then it is very likely you will be referred to work with a therapist to resolve the issue. It is very common for unresolved traumas to stop us from getting what we want in our lives. Life coaches focus on the present and the client’s goals for the future. We help people move forward and set personal and professional goals that will give them the life they really want. Most life coaching clients are healthy, successful people who might be a bit stuck or simply want to make a big change in their lives and want the support of their own personal coach to do so.



Rates:

$100 per 50-minute session. A "sliding scale" fee may be available based on financial need. Please don’t be afraid to ask if finances are a significant barrier for you.

 

Insurance:

I currently do not accept insurance.

 

Cancellation Policy:

Everyone's time is valuable. When I schedule an appointment with you it means I am setting aside time specifically for you. If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment or have not given at least 12 hours in advance, you could be charged a no-show fee. Things happen, I know, but frequent no-shows can be counter-productive to therapy, could indicate resistance towards change, and can complicate the therapeutic relationship. 

 

How the Process Works: 

• Give me a call to discuss your needs. I offer a free 30-minute consultation to get acquainted, discuss what you are specifically seeking from therapy and how I can best help you.

• Schedule first appointment

• After, you will receive "intake paperwork" via email to complete and bring to your session. This ensures that we can get right on to working on what YOU want to work on and start establishing your goals for therapy.  

• Upon our first visit, and after determining your goals we will explore how therapy should work for you, that is, the duration and frequency of our time together. Some individuals visit every week, while for others it may be biweekly, and then curtails to monthly check-ups as needed. We will discuss all of these matters in the first session.
