Q&A
Q: How long have you been counseling?
A: I began coaching in 2020 as a direct result of lots and lots of personal loss. Since then, I've coached many different clients through a variety of losses – partner loss, sibling loss, divorce, and life transitions including sobriety. As my experience deepened, I began to offer more general counseling and now manage a grief counseling program at a local non-profit.
Q: What kinds of clients do you work with?
A: While I specialize in grief, my clients have ranged from those going through career transition, divorce, and suffering from more immediate loss. Loss kicks up everything so it's not unusual to dig into all sorts of long-standing issues.
Q: How are you different from other life coaches or counselors?
A: Life coaching tends to focus exclusively on habit change. And while that can be included in grief counseling, my practice is very flexible and I tailor sessions completely around client needs.
Q: What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?
A: Nothing is expected of you other than honesty! I work best with people who enjoy exploring creative thinking. As our sessions evolve, we might change direction depending on where you’d like to go. And that’s perfectly natural!
Q: Who does this NOT work for?
A: Those who want rigid structure. Counseling is more about exploring thoughts and how they relate to actions and habits.
Q: Does this really work?
A: As with anything, what we get out of counseling depends on what we put into it. Check out the testimonials here.
Q: What results can I expect?
A: A deeper understanding of your wants and needs, where they come from, and how to create a doable plan to achieve your goals.
