life coaching
Stuck?
Afraid?
Ha! That’s not how
anyone would describe
you.
Also, you’ve got no time for that shit.
You’re a classic over-functioner, perfectionist, or people-pleaser. Probably an eldest daughter. Great when other people are in a crisis.
You probably even kinda like it. There’s a little thrill to rocking a to-do list, isn’t there?
Problem is…you’re tired.
Like, really freaking tired.
There’s nothing biologically “wrong.” The kind of tired that you are is more than physical.
You’re tired of showing up for everyone and everything else, while you put yourself last.
You’re tired of feeling guilty when you’re irritable because you’re carrying too much stress.
You’re tired of feeling like you can “get stuff done” but somehow, that doesn’t quite feel like living.
You’re tired of reaching peak burnout, swearing you’ll change, and then not seeing those changes stick.
Why does this happen? Why is this cycle so hard to break?
Because no matter how it may look to everyone else, unconscious fear patterns are secretly controlling your life.
You may call these patterns “perfectionism” or “people-pleasing” or “over-functioning” or “anxiety,” but they all stem from the same, fear-based place.
And make no mistake: you’re not dumb.
It’s not like you “don’t know” that this cycle isn’t good for you (or your marriage, or your kids).
You’ve read the books. You think critically about your self-help and prefer it evidence-based, though you’ll occasionally dabble in some woo.
You’ve tried things. You’ve already applied your best, most strategic thinking to reorganize your schedule, give yourself a break, or take things off of your plate.
Yet somehow, allll the stress comes back, and the relief of any changes you make are short-lived. It’s frustrating as hell.
What you actually want:
You want a life where you know who you are, what you want, and you can keep your ambition—but it comes from a place of flow.
You want a life that’s spacious. A schedule with room.
You want self-acceptance and freedom from constantly running laps around doing, performing, and getting things done.
You want the truth of who you are on the inside, to be how you actually live, on the outside.
If you’re ready for something different, I can help.
Since 2006, across thousands of hours of coaching, I’ve worked with women who have all the smarts and hustle dialed in. I know from personal experience that the perfectionist, over-achieving, hustle-hustle thing works—until it doesn’t.
If any part of you has been reading this page and thinking, “That’s me! How does she know?”
Oh, girl. I can talk about it so clearly, because I know.
In a coaching relationship I am the best fit for someone who wants a mix of going deep to explore the patterns and habits that underlie their current experience of the world—but with a mix of using evidence-based practices and a bit of “let’s stretch into the mystery of the human experience” woo.
I’m not going to waste your time. I’m not going to just tell you to believe in yourself or rearrange your calendar. You want real change? Time to cop to the patterns that don’t work—with a serious dose of self-compassion and empathy, which is often the last and most vulnerable thing that you don’t know how to give yourself.
My approach is about empathy for your experience, while challenging you to reach for something more. I don’t do “tough love” (you’re probably already giving yourself enough of that).
I also don’t do that “fearless” bullshit that other coaches are trying to sell you on. (I mean, come on. Who do you know who is actually “fearless”? Please, girl. Let’s not).
At the same time, you’ll be challenged to examine the labels you identify with that keep you stuck, like “I’m just not a ‘feelings’ kind of person” or “My brain just doesn’t work that way.”
I want to support you to recreate your life from this present moment, aligned with your integrity, honoring the wisdom of your life experience while creating something new.
If this approach doesn’t feel aligned for you personally, then we’re not a fit to work together. That’s okay. I can provide referrals.
MY EXPERIENCE
I’ve been a coach since 2006. I’ve trained coaches in how to become a coach. I have a Masters in Psychology, a PCC credential from the International Coaching Federation, and while I am not a licensed therapist, I’ve completed graduate coursework in human growth and development, behavioral change, and more.
YOUR INVESTMENT
I always start a coaching relationship with a 90-minute intro session. This isn’t a “getting to know you” chat or a Q&A or a call where I try to sell you on coaching. It’s an actual coaching session. We’ll dive straight into the work. You’ll be coached on the topics of your choosing.
The cost is $350 for the session, with no obligation to continue. To book it, you’d fill out the inquiry form below, and then I’ll send you an in-depth questionnaire for you to fill out, and I review your responses prior to our session.
If you decide that you want to continue with regular coaching after your intro session, I charge $350/monthly for two 60-minute sessions per month. We work together for an initial 3 month commitment, so that you have time to see progress.
Because I have a PCC credential I can offer Mentor Coaching to coaches who are renewing their ACC or PCC credential with the ICF. That is a 10-session commitment, which I bill for in installments.
