Hello! I'm glad you're here.

I believe you're the expert in your life and the dreams you hold for it. 

My expertise is in the questions I know to be helpful in those conversations. Partnering this way, I trust we'll create meaningful conversations together designed to bring the impact you desire.

I'm quite interested in the story you've imagined about your college experience and how that story is being lived out or challenged in your current circumstance.

Narrative Coaching guides my conversations. I'm especially curious about the stories we hold about ourselves and our lives and those not yet being lived out in preferred ways.

As a Narrative Coach, I'm less interested in setting goals or assigning directives and more interested in a person’s present experience of their life and the meaning it holds. 

My work is also informed by post-modern perspectives and Feminist Theory. I'm often interested in exploring the ways gender, power, and privilege have shaped our realities.

While coaching is not therapy, my background in Narrative Therapy also inspires my work. Please refer to my coaching contract for more information in this regard. 

(A woman's education is always with her.)

I provide culturally humble coaching and am LGBTQ+ affirming.

  Coaching is different from psychotherapy—and is not intended to be a substitute for therapy. The primary focus of therapy is to address and provide treatment for mental health conditions. The primary focus of coaching is to cultivate conversations aimed at supporting the current experience of your life and preferred sense of identity. While many of the questions offered in both therapy and narrative coaching may be similar, they have an important distinction in that coaching is not a healthcare service and should not be perceived as mental health treatment.

Is therapy more appropriate?

If you live in Washington State, I'd be glad to discuss my therapy practice.
