Coaching FAQ 

Do you work exclusively with women?

No. I also work with sensitive, self-aware men who are looking for direction and clarity in their lives and leadership at work.

Do you take insurance?

No. My clients pay out of pocket.

How much time will be required of me through the coaching process?

Through our coaching you will have “playwork.” These are concrete action steps that we design together for you to explore and experiment with whatever we have been talking about in our session.

We gain insight through experience. The playwork is where experience happens, then insight.

Usually this playwork will take you 1-2 hours and it happens in the two weeks between our sessions. The cadence of meeting every two weeks works because it gives you time with the playwork.

The playwork will be individual to you. It’s always something that we co-create, that you want to do as the next step for you. 

How long do you work with most clients?

Change is a process that takes time. I do not teach quick fixes, I teach practices and methods that will become part of you. 

I tell clients to expect that we work together for a minimum of six months. There is no formula or set amount of time committed to.. However, this approach recognizes that change happens bit by bit, brick by brick.

Some clients stay with me for months, others for years. That’s up to you, and us.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy often focuses on your past and your family of origin to help you find healing and understanding.

Coaching focuses on the present and future, with emphasis on the questions you have today, the skills you are learning, and the clarity we are creating together. 

What’s a typical session like?

I’ll be asking you lots of questions at the start to help us get clear about what you really want to achieve. From there our sessions will be dedicated to helping you get there.

As we articulate your goals, fears, and dreams, we will be creating action plans to help you get there.

Big changes will be broken down into the baby steps.

Along the way I will be teaching you cognitive, creative, emotional regulation, and body-based strategies tools that you will be able to use going forward to keep yourself on track. 

I’ll be observing you closely, telling you patterns I notice.

I steer clear of lecturing/advice giving as well as being a passive listener. I am honest with you and I ask you to be very honest with me.

You’ll get a sense of my style in the initial consult.

Do you coach solely in English?

I work with people from all over the world. In addition to English, I speak Spanish, French, and Portuguese and love learning foreign languages. I am continually learning through travel and intercultural exchange. I coach in Spanish and French as well as English at this moment.
