🌳 Relationship Coaching
Build connection, not just communication.
Whether you’re feeling distant, stuck in the same arguments, or just longing to feel closer again, relationship coaching can help you and your partner reconnect with intention. We’ll focus on what’s happening now—and how you can grow forward, together. You don’t have to wait for a crisis to invest in your connection.
🌱 Teen Coaching
Support for growing up—and growing into yourself.
Being a teen today is no small thing. Between school, friendships, family pressures, and figuring out who they are, teens often just need a safe place to talk, be heard, and get real support. Coaching helps them build confidence, manage stress, and learn how to handle life’s curveballs—with someone in their corner who truly gets it.
🌿 Individual Coaching
For when life feels unclear—and you’re ready for change.
Maybe you're at a crossroads. Maybe you’re craving purpose, direction, or just space to think things through. Individual coaching offers a supportive, action-oriented space to get clear on what matters, quiet the noise, and take meaningful steps forward. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.

Clarity. Courage. Change.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Life can be messy, overwhelming, and confusing—and sometimes, we just need a safe place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves.
That’s what individual coaching with me is all about: a space where you can show up just as you are. Whether you’re stuck at a crossroads, navigating big changes, or feeling like something’s missing but not sure what—it’s okay. You’re not broken. You’re human. And you're not alone.
Together, we’ll make sense of what’s going on, explore what really matters to you, and build a path forward that actually feels good—aligned, honest, and doable.
Why People Reach Out
Every coaching journey is unique, but here are some of the most common reasons people find their way to me:
✧ Feeling Stuck and Craving Direction
You might be asking yourself, “Is this it?” or “Where do I go from here?” Maybe your career doesn’t feel fulfilling anymore, or your relationships feel off, or you’re just going through the motions.
Coaching can help you slow down, tune in, and start uncovering the direction you’ve been looking for—one step at a time.
✧ Ready to Set Goals—But Unsure Where to Start
You have a vision (or at least the start of one), but you need help turning it into action.
We’ll take those big, overwhelming ideas and break them into real steps. I’ll help you stay focused, motivated, and accountable—without burning out or beating yourself up.
✧ Longing to Grow (Without Losing Yourself)
You want more confidence. Better boundaries. Deeper connections. A life that reflects who you really are.
In coaching, we get curious about what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to shift. You’ll start noticing your patterns, hearing your own voice more clearly, and choosing growth on your terms.
✧ Facing a Big Life Transition
Maybe you’re moving, changing jobs, ending a relationship, starting something new—or standing on the edge of something uncertain.
Coaching gives you a steady place to land during those in-between seasons. We’ll navigate it all with compassion, clarity, and a lot of grace.
What You’ll Walk Away With
💫 Clarity about what you want and why it matters
💫 Confidence in your strengths, voice, and decisions
💫 Tools to manage stress, self-doubt, and life’s curveballs
💫 Support from someone who’s truly in your corner
This isn’t about perfection or hustle or becoming someone else. It’s about coming home to yourself—and creating a life that actually feels like yours.
Let’s Talk
If you’re reading this and something in you is saying “yes”—let’s have a conversation.
I offer free consultations so we can connect, explore what’s coming up for you, and see if coaching feels like the right next step. No pressure, just presence.
You deserve support. You deserve clarity. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Therapy or Coaching? Here’s How to Decide:
The kind of support you choose really depends on what you're looking for right now.
If you’re feeling weighed down by unresolved issues from the past, or want to process deeper emotional wounds, therapy may be the right place to begin. Therapy offers a space to heal, understand, and make peace with your story.
But if you’re craving clarity, momentum, and support around what’s next—whether in your personal life, relationships, or work—coaching might be the better fit. Coaching is forward-focused. It’s about setting goals, creating change, and stepping into the life you want to build, starting right where you are.
Still not sure? That’s okay.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Reach out anytime—I’m happy to talk through your needs and help you find the support that feels right for you.
