Frequently Asked Questions

Who is coaching for?

Coaching is for people who understand themselves but feel stuck translating that understanding into real life change, especially when capacity, relationships, or responsibilities have shifted.

I specialize in working with ADHD and autistic adults, as well as partners and family members who want communication and support to feel clearer and more sustainable.

Do I need to be neurodivergent to work with you?

No. Some clients identify as neurodivergent and others are exploring whether ADHD and/or autism fits their experience. Others know they are not neurodivergent and come to coaching to better understand and support an ADHD or autistic partner, family member, or colleague.

A diagnosis or identity label isn’t required.

How is life coaching different from therapy?

Therapy and coaching serve different purposes.

Therapy often focuses on mental health, diagnosis, and processing past experiences. Coaching is action oriented. We look at how you’re functioning now, what’s getting in the way, and build practical ways to move forward in daily life.

Many people use both at the same time. Coaching doesn’t replace therapy, but it can complement it by supporting insight, skill building, and real world application.

How is coaching different from mentoring or consulting?

Coaching is collaborative. Rather than giving solutions, I help you identify patterns, clarify what’s happening, and build skills you can use independently. The focus is on strengthening your ability to navigate situations over time, not on being told what to do.

How do I get started?

You start with a free discovery call. We’ll talk through what’s going on, what you’re hoping for, and whether this approach feels useful.

There’s no expectation to decide anything on that call. It’s a space to think out loud and see whether working together makes sense.

What can I expect from a coaching session?

Sessions are structured, focused conversations. We look at what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what would help you move forward next.

I guide the process to keep it grounded and practical, with attention to energy, capacity, and context. The goal is to leave each session clearer about what matters next and how to approach it.

How do I prepare for a coaching session?

It can be helpful to have a sense of what you want to talk about, but it isn’t required. You can come in with a question, a situation you’re stuck on, or nothing specific at all. We’ll work with whatever feels most relevant that day.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients start with a minimum 12 session container. That gives us enough time to notice patterns, try new approaches, and adjust in ways that actually stick.

Shorter work is possible for very specific, well-defined goals, but ongoing work is where most people see the most meaningful and sustainable change.

We can talk through pacing and options together.

How does pricing work?

The most up-to-date rates are listed on the Services page and confirmed at checkout.

Payment options include full payment or installments. Rates are subject to change.

If you are interested in sliding scale options, please reach out.

Do you take insurance?

Life coaching is not typically covered by insurance. Some clients use FSA or HSA funds, and some employers offer coaching through EAP programs. You’re welcome to check whether those options apply to you.

How do you handle confidentiality?

What we discuss stays between us, except in rare situations where safety is a concern or disclosure is required by law.

Are sessions recorded?

Sessions are only recorded with your explicit consent. If you’d like a recording for your own reference, just let me know.

What tools or methods do you use in coaching?

I use a mix of reflective, practical, and somatic approaches. The focus is on noticing patterns, working with energy and capacity, and building strategies that fit how you actually function, not forcing a system that doesn’t.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens. I ask for at least 36 hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules, and I’ll work with you to find a new time that fits your schedule.
