Setting & Reaching Goals
There are many challenges related to
self-esteem, motivation, communication, confidence or problem-solving where individuals can benefit from concrete skills and guidance, that don’t merit the interventions and depth involved in therapy. This is where coaching can be tremendously beneficial. I help people learn and reinforce specific skills that help them gain perspective, move forward, feel motivated and attain goals. With coaching we are not engaged in a treatment process to heal past emotional wounds or work on sustained cognitive distortion.
Coaching vs. Therapy
There is no diagnosis and there’s a presumption of wellness that will allow you to build on existing strengths. Coaching is very much forward- facing and solution focused. It is also relatively short-term. In fact, some people prefer an intensive week of 2-4 sessions to help them deal with a specific challenge.
Certified Coach
As a certified coach, I employ strategic methods to help you find focus and specific direction. So there’s no getting bamboozled by a charismatic personality talking a lot of hot air. I find I also draw on my lived experience and training as an attorney to add problem-solving, focus and analysis to the equation. (Though, of course, I cannot dispense legal advice in this context).
Practical and Accessible Skills
My approach to coaching is not unlike my approach to therapy in that regard. It’s important to be able to take what you learn in your sessions to your everyday life and put it into practice as part of your personal transformation experience.
Experiential and Integrated Learning -The Set-Up
I offer coaching through workshops and courses that usually contain an interactive and experiential component that allows you to absorb new information and tailor it to your individual experience. This may take the form of included retreats, Q&A sessions and online ongoing community interaction. Individual coaching is also available upon request.
I work with individuals and groups anywhere from one encounter through many encounters over many months. Select what feels right for you.
Virtual Coaching
Remote access allows me to help people from the comfort of their living room. It provides unique flexibility that is an option for those with busy schedules, needing additional privacy or operating within boundaries for social distancing. Unlike therapy, your location is not a factor in providing services.
Identity Coaching
All of my work centers on identity and in some workshops/courses I delve more deeply into integration of one’s sense of self. All well-being depends on an integrated and coherent sense of self. Anxiety, depression, addiction, political conflict and life transitions all affect one’s identity. Sometimes this work is necessary after significant therapy to build confidence in moving forward.
Racial Trauma Coaching
Coaching is another way of providing support for those who have experience overt and subtle prejudice or microaggressions associated with racism.
Living amongst culturally-bound assumptions and privilege that suppresses your authenticity is stressful. Overt racism is painful. Being able to identify what is going on is a precursor to feeling safe in your body. Our group coaching is a particularly helpful and affordable way for BIPOC to feel safe and learn ways to navigate and maintain helpful boundaries.

Ever feared being "cancelled" or "called-out" by friends, colleagues or family? If so, this interactive learning experience is for you.
We are living in a world of increasing disconnection, addiction, exhaustion, burnout, misery and hopelessness. This has been compounded with the onset of Covid, the attack on the US Capitol, racial injustice, issues related to freedom of speech, and political polarization. Social distancing exacerbated the isolation many experienced before Covid.
Much of this is manifesting in decreased tolerance for difference and conflict which individuals, families and communities have experienced as punishment, exile and reactivity which exacerbate isolation, disconnection and rejection.
In this workshop you will:
- Identify differences between harm, abuse, trauma and conflict.
- Gain confidence initiating conversations and responding to matters regarding race, privilege, power especially where there is difference, diversity and controversy.
- Foster a sense of belonging and inclusion.
- Distinguish nuanced experiences that counter typical Black/White binary discourse.
- Receive support and accountability for transforming insight into action.
- Engage in relevant discussion related to authenticity, privilege, intersectionality and power to better navigate your personal, social and professional life.
