FAQ
Describe your coaching style.

I partner with my clients to help them identify hidden patterns, blockers, and thoughts restricting their professional and personal growth. Once we identify them, we use proven tools and techniques to work through them, and create strategies to help them move forward. This process helps them to become more self-aware and able to make effective changes.

How do you measure success with a client?

In every session with my clients, I ask them what they want to talk about, their goal, and how they would define a "successful" session. I will often use scaling questions at the beginning and end of a session to gauge whether the client truly feels they made progress toward the stated goal.

What is your coaching superpower?

I have an amazing ability to truly listen and let the client say whatever they need to in order to get to the root of the challenge. I let the client lead - they have all the answers within them.

Who is your ideal client and why?

My ideal clients are Women who feel stuck in their careers and want to make a change. About 70% of my clients have come to me with this challenge. Several years ago in my own career, I experienced a similar challenge which is what ultimately led me to become a coach.
