Not everything that's hard is a mental health condition. Sometimes life is just... a lot.
Divorce. Parenting a kid with ADHD while barely holding yourself together. A career that used to fit but doesn't anymore. The particular loneliness of being "fine" while everything quietly falls apart.
You don't need a therapist for this. You need someone who's been through it and figured out what works. Someone who can say "here's what I did when my life looked like that" — and mean it.
That's me. Not because I've read the coaching books (though I have). Because I've lived the material.
To be clear: this is NOT someone telling you to “find your passion” or “manifest abundance.” It's not the self-help industrial complex. It's a clinician with lived experience helping you solve specific, concrete problems with a real plan.
What coaching looks like
- Practical, forward-focused sessions
- Concrete strategies and action plans (not open-ended processing)
- Specific to YOUR situation, not generic advice
- Accountability without judgment
- Combines clinical knowledge with real-world experience
Common coaching topics
- Navigating divorce (with or without kids)
- Parenting through ADHD, anxiety, or behavioral challenges
- Career transitions and burnout
- Boundary-setting with family, friends, or providers
- Rebuilding after loss
You might be wondering...
"Isn't this just expensive advice?"
Advice is what your friend gives over wine. Coaching is a trained clinician who's navigated the exact mess you're in, building you a plan with accountability. There's a difference.
"How is this different from therapy?"
Therapy tends to process what's happened and how it shaped you. Coaching builds what comes next — the plan, the decisions, the momentum. Some people need both. Some need one. We'll figure out which.
