Do you coach from any particular faith perspective?
I consider myself a Christian and am rooted in Christian teachings and values. Being a Christian is my “come-from”. It informs the way I see and do things. For example, I believe that every human being is created by God for a purpose.
Do I need to consider myself a Christian in order to work with you?
No. I am open to and enjoy working with people of all faiths. I can respect wherever people are coming from.
How is coaching different from mental health therapy?
Coaching does not involve the assessment, diagnosis or treatment of mental or emotional disorders and conditions. Mental health therapy does.
Do you take insurance?
No.
How much does it cost?
I have a fee which can be discussed beforehand.

Sessions are usually 45-50 minutes long.

Sessions take place at my home office, or by phone if preferred.
How do I learn more?
I am willing to talk with you by phone or e-mail, or to sit down with you over a cup of coffee to explore any questions or concerns you may have about coaching as a possibility for you.
