While coaching and therapy have some overlap, they also have significant differences. Understanding these differences can help determine which one is best for you.

• Therapy: Focuses on the present, includes a diagnostic evaluation, based on a medical model, paid for by the individual or insurance company, and requires provider licensing.

• Coaching: Focuses on the future, fosters individual performance, based on evidence-based coaching models and theories, paid for by the individual and/or employer, and practitioners are usually certified, though it’s not required because the coaching industry isn’t regulated.

Here are a few more things to keep in mind about coaching:

• Coaches emphasize taking action. This means that as the client, you are responsible for making progress, while the coach's role is to guide and support you, providing accountability in following through on your commitments.

• Coaches don’t tell you what to do. A coach’s job is to collaborate with you to come up with the best solutions to your challenges. In other words, coaches help you help yourself.

• Coaches are not licensed medical practitioners. Coaching can be therapeutic, but sometimes, things come up that require a different level of professional care. Some clients do coaching and therapy at the same time, as these practices can be complementary.

Shortens your journey. Working with a coach allows you to make progress more effectively than relying on trial and error alone.

Focuses on you and you alone. In this busy world, it’s hard to get anyone’s attention. Working with a coach ensures someone is focused on you and your unique needs.

Lightens your burden. The number one emotion associated with burnout is overwhelm. You already have too much on your plate, and making decisions alone drains your energy. I’ll teach you how to redirect your focus to what you can control.

Keeps you on track. We meet regularly to develop and implement an action plan to achieve your goals. Knowing you’ve got skin in the game and a session on the calendar is motivation to show up for yourself.

While it’s true that burnout often stems from systemic issues beyond your control, one-on-one coaching can help you navigate those challenges more effectively, offering support and direction. Coaching provides a safer space to explore how systemic factors, workplace dynamics, and personal habits contribute to your stress.

Together, we can:

• Clarify your needs and boundaries: Identify what you need to thrive and learn how to advocate for yourself in ways that align with your values.

• Build resilience: Develop strategies to manage stress and restore your energy, even in challenging environments.

• Address personal patterns: Examine behaviors or mindsets—like perfectionism or over-committing—that may unknowingly amplify burnout.

• Explore your options: Whether you decide to stay, negotiate for changes, or pursue a new opportunity, coaching helps you make empowered choices with clarity and confidence.

Sessions are held through Zoom, eliminating the need to travel to me or reside in the same state. You can expect a combination of reflection and action planning so that the insights you gain from our dialogue lead to real changes in your daily life. I draw from different modalities, combining motivational conversation with mindfulness practices and body awareness techniques.

I completed my training in holistic health coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a program that equips graduates with the tools to improve their well-being and help others do the same.

Since then, I’ve earned additional certifications in Gut Health, Stress Management, Mental Health First Aid, and Reiki Level 2. I’m currently pursuing another certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and a second master’s degree in journalism with a focus on public health.
