Counseling typically explores psychological disorders involved in a client’s complex clinical presentation and requires a detailed understanding of conditions such as depression, borderline personality disorder, addiction, and trauma.

In contrast, coaching focuses less on diagnosis and disorders and more on specific action steps: communication skills, coping skills, self awareness, perspective development, and learning how to relate effectively to others. Anyone can benefit from coaching!

With my counseling background and experience I know that often our past does need to be addressed in order for lasting change to occur, therefore I do help clients heal and learn from past experiences. However, for those with significant psychological problems I recommend contacting a licensed therapist and in some cases a psychiatrist. I am happy to work with other involved professionals to help you meet your goals.

We do not accept insurance. Insurance companies often require a diagnosis, make it difficult to obtain coverage and payment, and limit the number of sessions allowed. You may check with your insurance company regarding potential reimbursement of health and wellness coaching.

Full payment at time of scheduling is preferred, however a $50 ‘scheduling’ deposit is required. We accept cash, visa/mastercard, and venmo payment.

There will be a $50 fee for no-show of session.

There will be a $25 rescheduling fee for sessions that are rescheduled within 48 hours prior to scheduled time.

This free meet and greet can be offered online or in person in a casual public setting (coffee shop, brewery, etc.) We will explore your general goals and determine if our coaching approach is a good fit for you. This meeting typically lasts 30 min-1 hr.

This is an amazing invitation for you to unplug, tune in, and realign!

The proven mental and physical benefits of spending time in nature (nervous system regulation, stress reduction, improved mood, and mental clarity) enhances our ability to openly communicate, generate and accept alternative perspectives, and better identify solutions to move towards your goals.

We created this extended 4 hour hiking session as a way to dedicate time and space for a deep dive into our work together.

Online sessions are offered through zoom, however face to face is preferred for local clients (Roanoke, VA and surrounding areas)

All coaching sessions will start with a brief facilitated mindful moment for each of us to center and identify our intentions for the session.

A safe and nonjudgmental space will be created for reflection, identification, and exploration of areas of focus during our session.

Together we will create action steps and practice skills that you can implement into daily practices to align your life with your goals.

We all grow and unfold in our own timing, so the number of sessions will vary. It’s important to approach the coaching process with the mindset of giving yourself a reasonable amount of time to reach your goals. This will be better evaluated once we begin working together.

In general we recommend weekly or bi-weekly meetings to start. Consistency helps build momentum and accountability and increases successful outcomes.

You will gain new perspectives on your experiences and how to reach your goals. You will discover meaningful and effective strategies for the challenges you face and will be empowered to take action. You will be supported in developing your skills and aligning your life with authenticity.

Transparency and honesty are critical to the success of the growth and transformation process.

While the coach is expected to assist in helping you to gain awareness, reflect, explore, and develop strategies- your success lies within your ability to integrate and implement the tools provided into your life.

You maintain responsibility for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as your decisions during and outside your coaching sessions.
