Private coaching
If I can’t be your therapist, coaching is still on the table.
A license only travels so far. I can’t do therapy with you unless you’re in Washington or New Mexico. But coaching isn’t therapy, and it isn’t bound by state lines — so if you’re somewhere else and you still want to work with me, this is how.
Be clear about the difference
Coaching is a different thing, and I’d rather say so plainly.
What coaching isn’t
- There’s no diagnosis and no treatment plan.
- You can’t use health insurance for it.
- It spends less time processing past traumas and events.
What coaching is
- Focused on action steps to take moving forward.
- Collaborative, with input from all parties involved.
- Open to you wherever you happen to live.
Therapy is the better call if you need consistent, regular support with mental health issues; if you or your partner carry significant trauma that’s shaping your current situation; or if what you want is supportive reflection and gentle guidance rather than input, suggestions and feedback.
How it starts
Two steps, and then we’re working.
- Fill out the coaching agreement. It lays out what coaching is and what it isn’t, in writing, so nobody is guessing.
- Once it’s signed, you’ll get a link to book our first meeting.
