Frequently Asked Questions

While both  coaches and therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on addressing mental health issues and past traumas, while coaches focus on helping individuals achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being.

My approach to goal-setting is to help clients identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. I also work with clients to create an action plan and provide accountability to ensure they stay on track to achieve their goals.

Confidentiality is of utmost importance in my coaching practice. I adhere to the International Coach Federation's (ICF) Code of Ethics, which includes strict guidelines for maintaining client confidentiality.

A coach focuses on helping you walk your unique path to success. As the client, you are responsible for taking the actions identified as a result of coaching. I help you discover how to become more of who you need to be to achieve those results and identify what you may need to do differently. A consultant takes responsibility for a specific project, acting as a specialist*, providing specific deliverables and knowledge. I believe in your ability to fully experience your potential and will provide a safe, consistent space for you to develop it.

* If my professional experience (in the areas of adult learning, training, and leadership development) is of benefit to you personally and professionally, I will gladly share what I know.

A mentor guides you towards a specific path of development. As a coach, I specialize in helping you onto the unique path that is meant for you – which may be quite different than the path I have taken, even though the purpose of our paths may be very similar. My job as your coach is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you uncover the answers that lie within you. Consider me a catalyst for your success.
