FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Through my work with clients, I've discovered the importance of flexibility, connection, and the ability to pivot and respond to changes in real-time. In response to this, all of my coaching clients enjoy a foundation of unrestricted communication with me between our in-person and virtual sessions. We text, send video messages to each other, or brighten each other's day with funny memes or thought-provoking questions! This is important because progress isn't linear and sometimes we get stuck or discover what we discussed isn't going to work or worked better than we thought possible! It also allows us to use our meeting time efficiently without feeling the need to try and cram one or two weeks worth of events into a scant one-hour conversation! Clients have expressed greater satisfaction and appreciation for the flexibility and progress they achieve with the monthly subscription model.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I focus on a highly personalized process in which I get to know my client and their goals. No two people are alike and my approach must be tailored to their specifications. This requires a process of developing a sense of "good fit." This is why I offer a free consultation to every client so we can get a sense of whether we will be a good fit - this is the essence and core of every good partnership because coaching also asks for a good deal of trust. I don't take that trust for granted.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have extensive training and experience working with a wide range of people and lived experiences. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Saint Martins University in Lacey, Washington and a Bachelors Degree from The Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington where I majored in Cultural Studies and Creative Writing. Prior to moving to Atlanta, Georgia, I was a Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington State and supported many couples and young adults through a variety of life transitions and challenges including trauma, infidelity, chronic stress, and career counseling. I also worked in a skilled nursing facility with a disabled and aging population, where much of my work centered around supporting clients navigating end of life decisions, existential questions, and significant life transitions. Over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, I also volunteered my skills in the Olympia Free Clinic, supporting individuals experiencing temporary or permanent housing instability and subsequent issues obtaining access to healthcare and mental health services. I completed my clinical internship at The Evergreen State College's Counseling Center supporting college students through a wide range of emergent issues that manifested for them during their time in school, including chronic stress, career counseling, grief counseling, mood disorders, life transitions, identity issues, conflict resolution, and relationship counseling. I am also a CODA (Child/Sibling of a Deaf Adult) and am fluent in American Sign Language.
