Embracing Your Wellness Journey for the World We Really Live in

You'll be invited to complete initial intake paperwork and assessments so that I can get to know you and we can get baseline measures for our work together. We’ll lay the groundwork and build a collaborative coaching relationship so that you can get the most out of your experience. We’ll explore what is important to you, what’s challenging you, and co-create a plan that is centered around your needs, behaviors, values, and desires.

In our 60-minute sessions, I will hold space for you to experience the benefits of personalized mindfulness practices, ACTr-based tools, and I will empower you to use tools to navigate the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that come up along the way.  We’ll address any barriers that show up personally or professionally and co-create a plan for between-session integration.

I will support you in identifying and taking meaningful actions that are in alignment with your values. I will also offer access to printable worksheets, guided practices, and recorded meditations that can support you in integrating the work we do between sessions and beyond the coaching journey. 

My job is to empower you to integrate our work together into your daily life at a pace that is aligned with where you are in your personally and professional journey. As we begin to wrap up our time together, we can discuss if additional sessions would be supportive for you and plan for the journey ahead.

I take an affirming and trauma-informed approach to working with my clients and use the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr).

Trauma-informed: Within all of the work that I do, I prioritize psychological safety, building trust, honoring consent, collaboration, and empowering my clients to connect with their own inner wisdom and take action in alignment with their values. I engage in psycho-education during each of my sessions, allowing clients to learn the "why" behind the strategies we explore so they can make informed decisions about their lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr): ACTr is a psychological intervention that uses mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and behavior change techniques to help individuals live in alignment with their values. The focus is on accepting difficult emotions and thoughts, rather than avoiding or fighting them, and committing to value-driven actions. ACTr helps people build psychological flexibility, the ability to stay present and act according to what matters most, even in the face of challenges.

Affirming: This means that I am not labeling behaviors, emotions, or experiences as inherently "bad," "disordered," or "abnormal." Instead, my approach recognizes that human experiences, including struggles and challenges, are natural and part of being human. This approach focuses on understanding and supporting individuals in their unique contexts, emphasizing resilience, strengths, and adaptability rather than diagnosing or treating them as if something is "wrong" with them.

Coaching is ideal for individuals who feel "stuck" in their personal or professional lives, want to manage stress better, shift out of "autopilot", or desire guidance to live more authentically in alignment with their values.

It's for those looking for a space to develop more awareness about how they relate to themselves and others, learn practical and accessible tools to enhance their well-being, and step into an empowered space for aligned action in their personal and professional lives.  

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy. It is ideal for individuals seeking personal development, stress management, or assistance in aligning their lives with their values. Those dealing with significant mental health issues should seek therapy with a licensed professional, as coaching does not provide clinical treatment.

Between-session integration is the process of applying the skills, strategies, and insights gained during coaching sessions to your daily life. It involves practicing new behaviors, reflecting on personal growth, and actively engaging with the practices we outside of sessions. This helps reinforce learning and supports lasting change in alignment with your values.

It’s normal to face challenges when integrating new practices into our lives and we'll discuss what is coming up and how to show ourselves kindness either way. If you're struggling, bring these difficulties to your next session and we can collaborate on how to adjust your goals or break down tasks into smaller more manageable steps.

The key is to learn to be compassionate with yourself and understand that change takes time. Remember that values-aligned living emphasizes the process—how you live each day in alignment with your core values. It’s about making choices that reflect who you want to be and how you want to show up in the world.

What I can offer you is: a compassionate, non-judgmental space to learn, grow, and empower yourself with more insights and awareness about what is impacting your wellness and behavior. We will explore ways that you can show up personally and/or professionally in alignment with your values. You will gain a personal toolkit of resources that you can draw upon outside of our work together.
