Coaching

1:1 Coaching

A space to slow down, notice what’s actually happening inside and around you, and experiment with gentler, more intentional ways of living and working.

How our sessions work

Coaching is a place to tell the truth about how things actually feel — in your work, in your body, in your life — and to try small, real-world experiments instead of forcing yourself into a new persona.

What we might explore

  • Burnout, emotional load, and feeling like rest never really lands
  • People-pleasing, over-functioning, and always being “the responsible one”
  • Career crossroads, re-orgs, and “is this version of my life still right for me?”
  • Conflict patterns, boundaries, and what feels possible to say out loud
  • Your relationship to productivity, self-worth, and being “enough”

We move at a pace that respects your capacity. There are no performance targets and no pressure to “optimize” yourself — just honest work with what’s real, and experiments that fit your actual life.

Who this is for

You don’t need a perfectly shaped coaching goal before we start. Many people come in with a felt sense that something needs to change, even if they can’t name it yet. Some common starting points:

“I can’t keep moving through life like this.”

You’re stretched thin, tired in a way that weekends don’t fix, and noticing that you’re living on autopilot. We look at the systems, stories, and expectations shaping your days — and experiment with different ways of relating to them.

“I’m carrying more than I’m saying.”

On the outside you’re reliable and composed; on the inside you’re anxious, resentful, or quietly exhausted. We explore how you learned to hold everything together, what it costs, and what it might mean to share the load differently.

“My outer life and inner life are out of sync.”

On paper things look fine — maybe even great — but something inside feels off or flat. We make space for that dissonance, listen to what it’s pointing at, and let that shape your next experiments in work and life.

Ways we can work together

Coaching that starts with your actual life: your inner world, your relationships, your work, and the patterns that keep repeating across all of it.

Ongoing 1:1 Coaching

A steady space to untangle what’s happening inside and around you, and to experiment with gentler, more honest ways of living and working.

  • Bi-weekly or monthly 60-minute sessions
  • We track themes across work, home, and inner life
  • Small, realistic experiments instead of big reinventions

Seasons of Change & Transition

Support for the in-between spaces: grief, identity shifts, relationship changes, moves, or “the life I built stopped fitting me.”

  • Hold space for big feelings and mixed emotions
  • Make sense of what this season is asking of you
  • Explore next steps without rushing the process

Focused Coaching Sprints

A short 4–6 session arc around one concrete theme: boundaries, people-pleasing, conflict, burnout, or your relationship to rest and productivity.

  • Clear focus for the sprint, decided together
  • Light structure and reflection between sessions
  • Grounded in your real situations, not hypotheticals

Engagement structure & FAQs

Simple, flexible structure so we can focus on the work, not logistics.

Session cadence

Most clients meet every other week for 60 minutes. Some prefer weekly during more intense seasons, and some move to monthly once things feel steadier. We’ll adjust based on what your life and nervous system can support.

Length of work

Many people work together with me for 3–6 months; some stay longer. We check in regularly about whether coaching is still serving you and what you need next — including pausing, ending, or shifting focus.

Between sessions

You’ll usually leave with one or two small experiments, reflections, or conversations to try. Between sessions you’re welcome to keep brief notes or questions and bring them back — we treat your real life as the “lab.”

Is this therapy?

Coaching is not therapy and doesn’t replace it. Coaching focuses on patterns, choices, systems, and experiments in the present, and on how you want to move forward. When therapy would be more appropriate or supportive, that will be named directly.
