Common Questions About Coaching

What are some of the benefits of coaching?

Coaching is designed to help you move from a place of thinking and feeling to a place of doing. Clarity, empowerment and action are the by-products of coaching. Coaching is fundamentally forward-looking and aims to help you create the reality you are seeking. Therefore, personal and professional fulfillment; greater financial freedom; and being happier and more effective for yourself and for others tend to be the benefits of coaching.

What is the difference between coaching and psychotherapy?

While both coaching and psychotherapy involve meaningful conversations aimed at personal growth, they differ in focus and approach. Psychotherapy typically addresses mental health concerns, past trauma, and emotional healing, often diagnosing and treating psychological disorders. Coaching, on the other hand, is forward-focused and action-oriented—it's about clarifying your goals, identifying obstacles, and creating strategies to move you from where you are to where you want to be. While I am a licensed psychotherapist, I do not provide therapy while I am coaching. Rather, I draw on what I know from the field of psychology to help you reach your goals. 

What would you say to someone who is on the fence about the cost of coaching?

If you're on the fence about the cost of coaching, I understand your concern. However, as both a coach and a consumer of coaching, I see this firsthand: having someone whose sole purpose is to support your aspirations is a worthwhile investment and a powerful act of self-care

When things are challenging professionally or personally, your health, your relationships, your opportunities, and the people you care about most tend to suffer. While this knowledge doesn't make coaching less costly, it assigns due weight and awareness to the cost of not addressing what brought you here.

If the time isn’t now for you to seek coaching, that’s ok! Find other things you can do to keep yourself at the top of your priority list and come back to coaching when the circumstances are right.

Where is your office located?

I am located in the Chicagoland area (CST) but coach people all over the United States and the world. My sessions are virtual. I work with each client individually to determine a workable time for our meetings.

What are your coaching fees?

My coaching fees start at $150/session for a single session; less with the purchase of multi-session coaching packages. I can share more about my coaching packages during our discovery call.
