Coaching is a partnership. Many of the answers you seek are within you and we work together to draw them out. You set the agenda. Then I partner with you through listening, questions, observation, and direct communication to create awareness, explore options, and design action steps for the best path forward.
Coaching is a Partnership
Coaching helps you:
|
Close the gap between where you are and where you want to be
Discovering what's most important to you and gaining a deeper understanding of who you are and who you were meant to be will help you develop the self-awareness and strength to find your voice, speak truth, and move into your future with courage and confidence, closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

What kind of topics do clients bring to a coaching session?
Clients bring a variety of topics to a session such as establishing boundaries, exploring their values, self-care plans, personal goals, safety plans, how to respond versus react to gaslighting, working toward a full therapeutic disclosure, healthy detachment, and more. One of the benefits of coaching is the gift of processing your circumstances, thoughts, and emotions out loud with another person. This alone can bring clarity and focus to your situation and be a topic for a coaching session.
What happens during a typical coaching session?
We start by celebrating any successes and completed action steps since our last session. Then you set the agenda and I partner with you through active listening, questions, observation, and feedback to create awareness, explore options, anticipate obstacles, and design action steps for the best path forward. We end with your overall takeaways from our time together. For clients of faith, I'm always happy to begin with prayer and invite God's presence into our session.
