Coaching

You may be navigating midlife, considering a career change, adjusting to children leaving home, starting over, stepping into a new role, or simply wondering what you want the next chapter of your life to look like.

Life and transition coaching gives you a structured place to figure out where you want to go from here. Together, we'll clarify what matters most to you now, identify the decisions or changes you want to make, consider your options, and create practical steps for moving forward. I'll help you stay focused, work through obstacles as they arise, and provide accountability as you begin putting those decisions into action.

It begins with understanding the child in front of you—and understanding what happens inside you in response to that child.

We might explore conflict, communication, boundaries, independence, anxiety about your child, changing relationships with teenagers or adult children, or patterns from your own childhood that are finding their way into your parenting.

My approach is developmental and relational. Rather than asking only, "How do I get my child to change?" we may also ask: What is happening in this relationship? What does this particular child need? What am I bringing into this moment? And what kind of relationship do I want to build with my child over time?

You may find yourself wondering whether your child is learning enough, whether you should be doing more, how much structure to provide, or how to trust a developmental path that doesn't look like everyone else's.

I raised my three children largely through unschooling, so I understand many of these questions from the inside. I also know there isn't one right way to do this.

Coaching offers a place to talk through what's happening in your family, think about the kind of learning environment you want to create, and become clearer about when to guide, when to step in, and when you may need to give development a little more room.

Whether you're considering unschooling, just beginning, or have been doing it for years and find yourself questioning the path, I'm happy to help you think it through.

There can be enormous relief when treatment ends, but also fear, uncertainty, changes in your body, shifts in relationships and priorities, and the strange experience of trying to return to "normal" when you may no longer feel like the person you were before cancer.

As a cancer survivor myself, I understand that recovery can involve more than physical healing.

Coaching after cancer can provide a place to think about both your physical and emotional well-being as you move forward. We might explore rebuilding routines that support your health, managing the uncertainty that can follow treatment, reconnecting with your body, relationships and intimacy, changing priorities, work and family life, or questions about how you want to live after an experience that may have changed the way you see your life.
