A life coach is a professional who pairs with clients to help them identify and achieve personal and professional goals. Unlike therapy, which can focus more on past trauma, we focus on the present and creating actionable goals to achieve the future you want.
Coaching is a wonderful option for highly-functioning and motivated individuals who are looking for change in their lives. People who use coaching may seek support and guidance in many areas including life transitions, career, family life, relationships, personal wellbeing, and more. The most important person in a coaching relationship is you. I can only help those who are willing to dig in and do the work. Sometimes you just need help getting started.
No! In general, coaching is far more directive and tends to focus on a specific area of change. If an ongoing need for psychotherapy is identified, I will likely recommend this for you and can help point you in the right direction. However, there can certainly be overlap between coaching and various forms of therapy, as we often work on relationships, coping mechanisms, and personality traits.
No. Your coaching experience will be exclusively tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. This is why our early sessions will be spent digging deep into all aspects of your current lifestyle and creating goals specific to you.
No, when you work with me through the Signature Self, my only role is as your coach! If, during our work together, I believe you would also benefit from psychotherapy or medication management, I can recommend this and help point you in the right direction.
This will depend a lot on you. If you are seeking transformation but feeling lost and aren't sure where to start, it will likely be helpful for me to understand you on a deeper level, and to spend our early sessions on this task. For those with more specific short-term goals who want to get started right away, we can also take this approach. Come prepared to be open and honest with both me and with yourself.
To start with, all you'll need for our sessions will be a notebook and pen. I encourage you to buy a notebook just for our work. Most people choose to get purchase a notebook that they will find joy in using. A set of pens in multiple colors is also helpful. There are no other mandatory materials but we may find recommended reading for your reference along the way.
I see clients from all over the country, and the typical session is conducted by video or phone call. If you live locally in the Colorado Springs area, in-person meetings are also an option.
