1:1 Coaching

Overwhelmed, overthinking, and not sure where to start.

Every session meets you where you are right now. No fixed curriculum. No predetermined agenda. Just honest work on whatever is actually in the room.

How it works

This isn't a program you move through. It's a process that moves with you.

Session one: The Named Alliance

Before we do any real work, we build an agreement — what we can explore together, what stays off the table, and how this process works. You set the rules. This is your space and it operates on your terms.

We also start digging into your core values. Most people think they know what they are. Few have actually stress-tested them. That excavation starts here.

Every session after that

Each session starts with where you are right now — not where we left off, not what the agenda says. The homework from the previous session is designed to surface something new, so we're always working on the next real thing.

Every session ends with homework. This isn't talk therapy. Between sessions is where the real work happens.

The Persona Method

The voice telling you that you don't belong, can't do it, or should wait — that voice has a name. We're going to find it.

Most coaching tells you to push through self-doubt. This is different. We build the self-doubt into a full persona — a human name, a personality, a set of triggers. We figure out exactly what it says and when it shows up.

Then we teach you to interact with it directly. To recognize when it walks into the room. And to tell it, clearly and without apology, that it's not welcome right now.

You named it. You built it. That means you own the power over it.

Who this is for

You don't need the right words for what you're experiencing. If any of these sound like you, that's enough to start.

"I know what I need to do. I just can't make myself do it."

The overthinking is loud. The to-do list is long. And somehow nothing moves. We break it down into something executable and figure out what's actually standing in the way.

"Something needs to change but I don't know what."

You're capable, experienced, and still feel stuck. Not dramatically — just quietly off. We use curious questions to find what's underneath that and build from there.

"My life just shifted and I'm figuring out what's next."

A career change, a relationship ending, a diagnosis, a promotion that didn't feel like you thought it would. Major transitions crack things open. We work with what's there.

Ways we can work together

Coaching that starts with your actual life: your inner world, your relationships, your work, and the patterns that keep repeating across all of it.

Ongoing 1:1 Coaching

A steady space to untangle what’s happening inside and around you, and to experiment with gentler, more honest ways of living and working.

  • Bi-weekly or monthly 60-minute sessions
  • We track themes across work, home, and inner life
  • Small, realistic experiments instead of big reinventions

Seasons of Change & Transition

Support for the in-between spaces: grief, identity shifts, relationship changes, moves, or “the life I built stopped fitting me.”

  • Hold space for big feelings and mixed emotions
  • Make sense of what this season is asking of you
  • Explore next steps without rushing the process

Focused Coaching Sprints

A short 4–6 session arc around one concrete theme: boundaries, people-pleasing, conflict, burnout, or your relationship to rest and productivity.

  • Clear focus for the sprint, decided together
  • Light structure and reflection between sessions
  • Grounded in your real situations, not hypotheticals

Structure & FAQs

Simple and flexible — because the work itself is complicated enough.

Session cadence

Most clients meet every other week for 60 minutes. Some prefer weekly during more intense seasons. We adjust based on what your life actually has room for — not what sounds good in theory.

Length of engagement

Most clients work together for 3–6 months. Some stay longer. We check in regularly on whether this is still serving you — including when it's time to pause, shift, or wrap up.

Between sessions

Every session ends with homework — one or two specific things to try, reflect on, or decide before we meet again. Your real life is the lab. The sessions are where we debrief what you found.

Is this therapy?

No. Coaching focuses on where you are now, what's in the way, and what moves you forward. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace mental health care. If therapy would serve you better, that'll be said directly.

What if I don't know what I want to work on?

That's fine — and more common than you'd think. Curious questions are the whole point. You don't need to arrive with a goal. You just need to show up honestly and we'll find the thread together.

Ready to name what's in the room?

You don't need to have it figured out before we talk. One conversation, no pressure, no pitch. Just a chance to see if this is the right fit.
