Start with a conversation.

Coaching is a structured partnership focused on where you are going, not on diagnosing where you have been. I am not here to hand you advice or a plan off a shelf — I ask the questions that help you see your own patterns, then we build small, sustainable steps and I hold you to them.

Therapy generally treats mental health conditions and often works with the past. Coaching works forward from where you are now, with a healthy client, toward specific change. They complement each other well, and plenty of people do both. Coaching is not therapy and is not a substitute for it.

If you already know roughly what you want to change but keep not doing it, coaching is likely a good fit. If you are in crisis, or dealing with something that needs clinical care, therapy or medical care should come first — and I will say so plainly rather than take you on.

The Art of Being Liked runs twelve weeks across three phases. Health Coaching has no fixed length — we work at the pace that fits your goals. Some people need a few sessions to build a habit that sticks; others want ongoing support.

Sessions run one hour, once a week, scheduled the week before. We can meet however works for you — phone, Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, WhatsApp, whatever is easiest.

If you need to move a session, a 24-hour reschedule notice applies.

Pricing is by inquiry. Programs differ in length and focus, and I would rather talk with you about what you actually need than post a menu. Reach out and I will be straightforward about it in our first conversation.

I do not bill insurance directly. Some clients find coaching is covered under their plan and can claim it themselves — check with your provider. HSA funds are often usable for coaching as well, sometimes with a letter of medical necessity from your doctor. I am happy to talk through what is realistic for your situation when we connect.

What you share with me stays between us. Sessions run by phone or video call, and I don’t share what we discuss with anyone. This is not therapy and is not a substitute for it.

Not at all. Diabetes Focus sits within Health Coaching because I live with it myself — not a separate track you have to qualify for. Health Coaching here is for anyone working toward a goal, whatever that goal is.

Totally okay — this is self-paced, and one missed session is not a problem. If missing sessions becomes a pattern, I will check in honestly and ask whether this is the right time for the program. That is not a punishment — it is making sure the work actually fits where you are.
