Here are the most frequently asked questions I receive. If you have any additional questions, please Contact Me

What exactly is a "life coach?" Who do you work with?

A life coach is a professional who helps clients create and achieve their most meaningful and important goals.  I offer these services to individuals and small groups. While I am happy to work with anyone who is motivated, my clients tend to be overachieving professionals, members of the academic/environmental community, and people looking for richer, more,successful, purpose-driven lives.

What’s the difference between therapy and life coaching?

Therapists focus on mental health and emotional healing, while life coaches focus on setting and achieving goals. Therapists tend to focus on the past, while life coaches focus on the present and future. Therapy and coaching can often complement and build on each other.

How would we work together?

In 1 hour sessions—your choice of phone, video, or in-person if you are local. I am also available in-between sessions as necessary. The structure typically looks like this:

  • Check-in and follow up on the previous session 

  • Explore and articulate new goals

  • Create an action plan with accountability 

  • Anticipate roadblocks and institute proactive solutions

We can meet weekly, every other week, or monthly, and via one-on-one sessions or in a small group with other clients.

Tell me more about your consulting and workshop services.

During my journey working as an academic, scientist, and applied ecologist, I experienced great joy, passion, success, disillusionment, and burnout. As part of my efforts to address the disillusionment and burnout parts, I acquired extensive training and personal experience in, among other things, building resilience and navigating burnout, developing holistic wellness and overcoming emotional numbness, and setting and achieving the right goals. Consequently, I offer consulting and workshops in these general areas tailored to the specific needs and interests of my clients.
