Life coaching is a collaborative process between coach and client. It’s designed to support clarity, direction, and meaningful change. Sessions focus on identifying what matters, exploring options, and taking aligned action. Coaching is distinct from therapy—it doesn’t diagnose or treat, and it doesn’t dwell in the past. The work is forward-looking and grounded in your lived experience.

Coaching is useful if you’re working toward a goal and willing to engage the process. It’s especially helpful if you value reflection, honest conversation, and outside perspective. If you’re unsure, a consultation can help clarify fit

• Coaching focuses on the present and future. It’s oriented toward clarity, decision-making, and action.

•Therapy often focuses on the past—working through trauma, diagnosis, and emotional healing.

Coaching doesn’t treat or diagnose. It supports movement, not mental health care.

• Clarify goals and intentions

• Identify strengths, limitations, and potential obstacles

• Develop a concrete action plan

• Provide support, accountability, and perspective

• Sessions may lead to clarity, motivation, or a shift in direction—outcomes vary by client and context

Yes. ICF-certified coaches follow a code of ethics that includes client confidentiality. That said, coaching conversations are not legally protected in the same way as therapy or legal counsel.

No. Coaching is designed to strengthen your ability to reflect, decide, and act on your own. The goal is to build self-trust and autonomy—not reliance. You’re responsible for your choices; the coach supports the process, not the outcome.

Creative coaching focuses on the client’s creative work and process. It uses the same coaching methods but applies them to questions around making, expression, and creative direction. A general life coach may work across broader goals; a creative coach works specifically with artists, makers, and innovators navigating creative blocks, transitions, or momentum.

Creative coaching isn’t limited to professional artists. I work with:

Creatives across disciplines—designers, painters, musicians, writers, performers, and others

People who feel something creative is missing or waiting to be named

Solopreneurs and early-stage founders navigating creative direction

Business teams and organizations seeking more creativity in how they work

This work meets you wherever you are—stuck in a project, exploring a shift, or reconnecting with creative direction.

• Clients often come to coaching when they’re:

• Returning to creative work after a break

• Working through a block or loss of momentum

• Shifting mediums, genres, or direction

• Feeling disconnected from their creative instincts

• Unsure how to start, continue, or finish a project

Sessions often explore:

• What leads the work, and what it’s about

• How to choose what to work on

• When to push, when to pause

• What to keep, what to let go

• How to navigate external pressures or expectations

I see creativity as a generative process—something we tune into, not control. It’s not a limited resource. It’s ongoing, often quiet, and always available. Creative work involves recognizing possibilities, alternatives, and connections that weren’t obvious before.

Sometimes it’s structured and intentional, like Fincher’s approach—refining, shaping, and choosing what to leave out. Other times it’s intuitive and emergent, like Rubin’s—listening, sensing, and letting the work reveal itself.

Creativity moves between discipline and openness. It’s not one way of working—it’s a way of being with what wants to come through.

Not necessarily. Creativity and intelligence can overlap, but they aren’t the same. Creative thinking doesn’t always follow conventional logic or academic measures of intelligence.

ICF coaching follows the standards set by the International Coaching Federation, the leading global organization for professional coaching. It’s grounded in a clear code of ethics, a set of core competencies, and a rigorous certification process. ICF credentials signal that a coach has been trained, assessed, and committed to ethical, client-centered practice. It’s not advice-giving or therapy. It’s a structured process that supports reflection, decision-making, and forward movement.

Each session is 60 minutes. Coaching can be short-term—just a few sessions around a specific goal—or longer-term support through a transition. There’s no fixed timeline. The work unfolds based on need, pace, and readiness.

Narrative coaching helps clients explore the stories they live by—personally and professionally. It’s grounded in presence, reflection, and meaning-making. Rather than setting goals or fixing problems, narrative coaching invites clients to notice patterns, shift perspectives, and move with intention.
