Therapy is about diagnosing and treating clinical issues. It deals with DSM-5 diagnosable mental health issues and works to treat these in clients. Of course, beyond that, therapy can also do what coaching does, but often is really centered on the clinical side of things. It often focuses on the past, how we got here, and processing everything from events to emotions. Therapy also works to process and heal trauma (and this healing is beautiful).

Coaching is about the present and the future. We do look at the past, how these patterns came to be, but it’s about taking ownership over what’s happening right now. How do we take skills and improve upon them.

My clients and I work through things like burnout, identity, self-discovery, how we deal with the ups and downs of creative business (rejection, loneliness, isolation, etc.) and how we manage life stages.

I love the non-clinical side of things.

In coaching, I am not working with clients that have an acute, diagnosed mental health disorder - unless they come to me specifically for coaching on the skills I work with. Not for treatment.

I do only work with women. This is something I’ve been very clear about.

One reason is that I am more comfortable with women, personally. Also, I’m in a place in my career where I get to determine who I work with. The third reason is that I understand women better than men (as I am one, not that we are all the same at all!)

Sure, I have book learning and a Master’s Degree - I’ve done continuing education - so I have the understanding of how humans work. But I am more comfortable with how women process and show up in the world.

I offer 1-1 coaching and run a membership.
