Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is a structured conversation focused on you (the client); your goals, challenges, and next steps. It’s not therapy or consulting. Instead of giving advice, I ask questions that help you find your own answers, see patterns clearly, and act with intention toward your intended goal.

• Coaching helps you clarify goals, identify obstacles, and create practical steps forward. The focus is on the present and future, unlocking potential and aligning action with purpose. A coach facilitates discovery through reflection and thought-provoking questions, not advice. Coaching is typically short-term (6–12 months) and follows a structured process with defined goals, actions, and reviews. It sits at the intersection of mentoring, consulting, and therapy. 
• Mentoring is experience-based and long-term (often 1–5 years). A mentor shares personal insights, lessons, and guidance from a similar path. Meetings are often unstructured and driven by the mentee’s curiosity. Mentoring is a relationship where a more experienced person imparts knowledge, skills, and expertise to a less experienced one. The focus is on development over time, without the expectation of immediate results.
• Consulting is solution-oriented. A client presents a problem, and the consultant provides the answer (typically by diagnosing issues, designing strategies, and delivering recommendations). Consulting is the business of providing expert advice by understanding the problem and presenting specific solutions. It is structured, measurable, and typically focused on process improvement or performance optimization. 
• Therapy is a retrospective process focused on healing and understanding the past. It addresses fears, unearths trauma or psychological disorders, and builds resilience for mental and emotional well-being. The goal is restoration and healing rather than forward-planning. 

In short:

Therapy heals the past.

Consulting solves problems.

Mentoring shares experience.

Coaching moves you forward.

If you feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for a change but lack clarity on what comes next, coaching helps. It’s for those who want reflection and practical action. The free Alignment Call lets you test if my approach fits your needs.

It’s a 45-minute conversation to understand your current situation and what you’d like to achieve. You’ll get a sense of my style, I’ll share how we might work together, and you’ll leave with more clarity, whether or not we continue.

I work with professionals and individuals at a crossroads or inflection point in their lives, navigating career transitions, relocation, leadership growth, or moments when life feels misaligned. They’re ready to realign their work and life with greater clarity, purpose, and confidence. Many are high performers facing change and seek structured guidance to move from overthinking to decisive, aligned action. I help them navigate that process (like a compass pointing them toward their true direction).

My coaching style is structured, and deeply supportive. I create a space where you can slow down, reflect, and truly be yourself—without judgment or pressure. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you see patterns and possibilities that may not be visible on your own. While the space is empathic and grounded, it’s also focused. I’ll challenge you when needed and hold you accountable to the goals you set for yourself. My role is to walk beside you, not to give you answers, but to help you find your own clarity and move forward with confidence and integrity.

Most clients start noticing meaningful results within the first three sessions. The number of sessions depends on your goals—some people come for a single focused decision, while others choose a package to go deeper and create lasting change.

Clients often describe the process as life-changing: gaining clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction that feels grounded and true to who they are. Coaching doesn’t offer quick fixes—it helps you build a framework to think, decide, and act from alignment.

Working together, we focus on:

• Uncovering and using your unique strengths

• Growing into a more authentic person and leader

• Aligning your actions with your values and purpose

• Moving from overthinking to clear, confident action

• Seeing patterns and blind spots that limit progress

AI has become a powerful tool that many people, including coaching use. It can organize thoughts, summarize insights, suggest frameworks, and even simulate reflective questions. Used well, it supports clarity and learning.

But it’s important to remember: AI is a tool, not a companion.

Recent studies show that younger generations increasingly use AI as an operating system for life; outsourcing thinking, decision-making, and even emotional reflection. This creates dependence and weakens two essential muscles: self-awareness and human connection.

AI has critical limitations, including that it cannot empathize or sense the unspoken. It can provide information, but not presence. It cannot hold space for vulnerability, that feeling of being heard without judgment. It cannot co-create meaning rooted in purpose, values, and legacy. And when the path feels uncertain, it cannot walk beside you with genuine care.

AI can support you. But only a human relationship can truly see you.
