Frequently Asked Questions

This is coaching and consultation, not therapy. I’m not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.

What I focus on is understanding what’s actually happening—patterns, dynamics, and what’s getting in the way—so you can move forward with more clarity and direction.

Many families use this alongside therapy, or when therapy alone isn’t addressing the day-to-day challenges.

I work with parents who want to be more intentional about how they’re supporting their child—whether they’re noticing early patterns or navigating more complex challenges.

I also work with young adults who are struggling to find direction, independence, or momentum as they transition into adulthood.

In both cases, the work is about understanding what’s underneath the surface—not just reacting to behavior.

We start by slowing things down and looking at what’s really going on.

That usually includes patterns in behavior, family dynamics, communication, and expectations. From there, we identify what’s actually within your control and what a realistic path forward looks like.

You’ll leave with more clarity and a sense of what to do next—not just more information.

In most cases, I work primarily with parents or young adults.

When I work with parents, the focus is on shifting patterns within the system, not trying to “fix” one person. That’s often where the most meaningful change happens.

If it makes sense to include your child, we can talk through that.

It depends on what you’re looking for.

Some people come for a few sessions to get clarity and a plan. Others continue for ongoing support as they implement changes and navigate new stages.

We’ll figure out what makes sense based on your situation.

I don’t work with insurance, as this is coaching and consultation rather than therapy.

Some clients are able to use HSA or FSA funds depending on their plan. I can provide a receipt if needed, and you’re welcome to check with your provider.

We start with a free call - about 20 minutes.

It’s a chance to talk through what’s going on, get a sense of whether this is the right fit, and decide what next steps would actually be helpful.
