Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?
People who are already excellent at what they do, and ready for what's next.
- Founders and CEOs who've built something real, and keep meeting the same ceiling, or whose success at work is costing them at home.
- Professional athletes who know exactly who they are on game day, and want that same clarity under pressure, at home, and in life after their playing career.
- People building a legacy, who know what they're here to do and are putting the last pieces in place.
- Families of significant wealth, including adult children of successful parents: bright, capable, and still finding their own way.
- Leadership teams and families, through Inner Circle, when the pattern lives in the group, not in one person.
Many of the people I work with don't call themselves high performers. To them, it's just how they operate. Normal to you. Rare to everyone else.
Is this therapy?
No. Therapy and coaching do different jobs, and knowing the difference helps you choose the right support.
Therapy is health care. A licensed therapist can diagnose and treat mental health conditions and help people heal from trauma and work through symptoms that make daily life hard. Therapy is the right place to start if you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, disordered eating, thoughts of harming yourself, or anything that's keeping you from functioning at work or at home. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). If you're in immediate danger, call 911.
Coaching isn't health care, and I don't diagnose or treat anything. My work is for people who are functioning, often at a very high level, and who want something to change: a pattern that keeps repeating, a decision they keep putting off, or an identity that got them here but won't get them where they're going next. Therapy often looks at how the past shaped you. Coaching focuses on who you're becoming, and what you'll decide and do differently now.
Some people work with a therapist and a coach at the same time, and the two can complement each other. If it looks like something in our work belongs with a licensed clinician, I'll say so and encourage you to get that support.
Coaching isn't medical, psychological or legal advice, and it doesn't replace care from a licensed professional.

What happens after I send a message?
I read every message myself. If it's a fit, you'll get a link for a private 30-minute call. From there you'll get my recommendation, an agreement, and an NDA if you need one.
