I Help People Change
It's easier to change things outside of us — jobs , partners , cities .
It's harder to change things inside of us — beliefs , emotions , thoughts .

Common questions about therapy, coaching, and how we can work together.
TLDR: therapy is rehabilitative and coaching is skill building.
Physical metaphor: When would you hire a physical therapist? And when would you hire a coach?
If you want to work on your tennis serve, you should hire a tennis coach. If you have limited range of motion, you should hire a physical therapist. They both provide distinct, valuable services.
More info: Psychotherapy rehabilitates a client's limiting, subconscious beliefs about themselves, others, their environment, and how they all connect and interact.
Mental coaching co-creates the present with intentional cognition rather than compulsive, conditioned cognition derived from past experiences.
Absolutely!
Psychotherapy and Mental Coaching work is not specific to sex. This work is about identifying and reframing self-imposed beliefs that keep clients feeling stuck and conflicted. It's a human condition.
Conversational.
You articulate what's in your head and what you're feeling. Language provides context clues about what you believe you're dealing with. I listen. I hear things that you don't pick up on (blindspots) and we start to get to know you without judgment. You find out why you are-the-way-you-are and you find out why you do-what-you-do.
Another metaphor: it's like collecting puzzle pieces. One puzzle piece by itself doesn't provide much information. But when enough puzzle pieces start to connect, you can see the whole picture, and it all makes sense!
The result is a macro view of yourself and your beliefs. It's like a fish-out-of-water. You've been too close-in to see the "water." The result is understanding compulsions so you are able to be more intentional.
No.
Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis to cover services.
Furthermore, this requirement does not align with the mental coaching approach, which focuses on personal development and does not involve diagnosing mental health conditions.
This distinction means that insurance coverage is generally not applicable to coaching services.
Yes.
But this is a question for your tax professional to answer for you.
You'll start to get a new perspective after our first session.
Unlike physical health which takes time and consistency, you can change your mind in an instant. However, there is a great quote that sums up this work:
'Not even the greatest guru in the world can take a single step for you.' -Anthony De Mello
Everyone can benefit from truly getting to know themselves.
There is no better way to improve your relationships than by improving the way way you relate to yourself. And this comes through a thorough understanding of yourself and human nature.
Merriam-Webster: Existing in the mind but not immediately available to consciousness (state of being aware).
American Psychological Association: A level of consciousness at which a stimulus may affect behavior even though the person is not explicitly aware of it.
Jesse King: You generate 'meaning' about everything, and more specifically- what it means about you. This 'meaning' is driving your emotions, thoughts, and behavior- unbeknownst to you.
Virtual.
Sessions are conducted through Zoom for the following benefits.
1. Convenience: eliminates the need for commuting, making it highly convenient for individuals with busy schedules or those living in remote areas.
2. Accessibility: breaks down geographical barriers, allowing individuals to access services from far away. This widens the scope for finding the right professional to suit your needs.
3. Flexibility: offers more flexible scheduling options, accommodating different time zones and varying work or personal commitments.
4. Comfort & Privacy: being in your own space can enhance comfort and openness during sessions. For some, it may feel easier to express thoughts and feelings from a familiar environment, thus promoting a greater level of transparency.
5. Continuity: ensures continuity in receiving support even during travel, illness, or adverse weather conditions, maintaining regularity in sessions.
If you're seeking to understand yourself better, are open to self-exploration, and are willing to commit to personal growth.
No. No upselling, add-ons, or cancellation fees.
