Connecting the dots between how we're built and how we can live...
Welcome
One of the main things I’ve learned working as a therapist is that much of the difficulty of being a human stem from lacking relevant information. Much of what we all need to know is available in the world, but inaccessible because we don’t know the right questions to ask. Some of the information is within each of us, but requires intentional introspection and self-observation.
Think of it as driving a car without the assistance of any of the information on the dashboard and no peripheral vision. Not attending to the dash board while driving can range from inconvenient to dangerous.
What’s the difference between coaching and counseling?
As a therapist I understand that counseling is necessary part of healing for many people. At the same time, I know that not everyone needs therapy. Therapy addresses the need for emotional healing through the lens of the past and the present. Coaching addresses the need for change through the lens of the present and future. That is not to say that therapy doesn’t address the future and coaching can’t address the past, but the emphasis is different.
Coaching is not for people who have unresolved trauma. Coaching works for people who have a functional handle on life and desire to level up.
