FAQ

  • How is coaching different than therapy?

    Even though I am trained as an LICSW therapist, life coaching focuses on the present and goals for the future. When coming to me, you will have the benefits of my clinical background to help you move forward with personal goals. The main focus of our coaching work will be the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. If we focus on coaching, we will not do therapy although this may include referring you appropriately if the need for therapy arises.

  • How does this work?

    Now is the time to take advantage of my 6 step coaching program. When we speak in our initial consult, I will ask you questions and explain more about how we will work together. When we decide we are a good fit, we will set up a first time to meet and I will send you some simple forms to complete to save you time at our first session. Your time is valuable and my goal is to set you up with skills to practice right away to find the road to contentment.

  • Do you coach only women in midlife?

    No. While the majority of my clients are women, I welcome nonbinary individuals, too. As a cisgender woman, I am constantly learning and strive to create an accepting and safe place for people of all genders to thrive.

    I have worked with children, adolescents, and young adults as well as the military population to help with feeling calm in a world that expects so much from us. Age is just a number, whether you are younger or older, the style of coaching I practice can work for anyone who is motivated to change. If you resonate with me, I hope you reach out for a free consult to see if we are a good fit.

  • Can you take my insurance?

    Insurance does not cover coaching. Coaching allows me to offer my skills to a wider audience beyond the state of RI. I am excited about being able to broaden my scope and reach more people. This approach also allows me to offer more individualized coaching sessions with you.

  • What if I can't afford your rate?

    If you do not think you can afford my full fee, don’t hesitate to contact me. If we are unable to work something out I can offer referrals to other trusted coaches or clinicians who may be able to accommodate your financial situation.

  • Where do we meet?

    I offer virtual visits for anywhere in the world. If you are in the state of RI, you have the potential to take advantage of a walk and talk. Walk and talk is the opportunity to be in nature while reaching your goals. Research is catching up with what we already know, that being outdoors and moving your body is healing to the mind, body, and spirit.
