Coaching is a structured, future-focused partnership that helps you clarify goals, build practical strategies, and stay accountable. We focus on behaviors, systems, and mindset shifts you can implement now—without diagnosing or treating medical or mental health conditions.

Coaching: future-focused, goal-oriented, performance and well-being at work/life; no diagnosis or clinical treatment. Therapy: addresses mental health diagnoses, past trauma, and clinical symptoms; delivered by licensed clinicians. You can do both; if you’re in therapy, we’ll keep clear roles and boundaries.

A growing body of coaching-psychology research—including randomized trials and meta-analyses—shows coaching can improve goal attainment, well-being, resilience, and leadership behaviors. If you’d like, I can send a plain-language one-pager with key studies and links.

Your transformation is a collaboration. Expect to: Set honest goals and measures of success Try agreed-upon actions between sessions Give feedback on what’s working (or not) Own your results and celebrate your wins

In ~60 minutes, we’ll map your top stressors, identify 2–3 next steps you can use immediately, and decide together whether a Sunburst package fits your goals—no pressure or hard sell.

Yes, we can provide group or team coaching upon request. Whether it's for clinics, schools, or leadership teams, we can design short sprints or quarterly programs tailored to your needs. Just ask about scopes and rates!

We conduct our coaching sessions via Zoom. You'll get a calendar invite with a secure link and reminders to keep you on track.

Standard sessions are 60 minutes on Zoom. Radiance Reboot (3 weeks): weekly (3 sessions). Radiance Rise (6 weeks): weekly or bi-weekly based on workload. Radiance Reset (12 weeks): typically weekly to maintain momentum, with occasional flex weeks if needed. We confirm cadence during onboarding and can adjust as we go. Your calendar invite shows your local time, and you can reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice. Between sessions, expect brief check-ins and light, actionable homework (10–15 minutes) to keep progress moving.

I blend evidence-informed & evidence-based coaching methods with practical, real-world tools you can apply immediately. Common elements include: Coaching psychology & positive psychology: strengths-based goal setting, resilience building, and measurable behavior change. Motivational Interviewing & Appreciative Inquiry: collaborative conversations that surface what works, clarify values, and create momentum. NLP-informed techniques (lightweight and practical): language and mindset shifts that reduce friction and support new habits. Execution systems: time/energy audits, boundary scripts, weekly planning, and micro-experiments you can test between sessions. Simple tracking: 2–4 clear metrics (e.g., protected focus blocks, on-time departures) reviewed briefly each meeting. Optional supports by request: Reiki, mindfulness breathwork, or brief grounding practices to steady focus before high-stakes moments. Everything is tailored to your role, schedule, and goals—no jargon, no one-size-fits-all playbooks. You keep ownership; I provide structure, tools, and accountability.

Not by default. Coaching is a collaborative process: You own decisions and results. I help you clarify goals, weigh trade-offs, and choose actions that fit your values, role, and bandwidth. I provide structure and options. Expect clear frameworks, A/B plans, and next steps you can test between sessions. Want a strong recommendation? Ask—and I’ll give one with the reasoning and evidence behind it. No clinical/legal advice. I don’t diagnose or treat; I keep us focused on performance, habits, and sustainable change. You steer; I supply the map, instruments, and accountability.

We’ll define 2–4 concrete metrics at onboarding (e.g., “leave by 5:30 pm 3×/week,” “2 protected focus blocks,” “Sunday anxiety ↓ 50%”). Baseline captured on day one Mini check-ins each session (2–3 minutes) Light homework (10–15 min/week) tied to metrics 30/60/90-day or other utilized timeline to do pulse checks to spot what’s working and what to adjust. You’ll get a simple tracker so wins are visible and sustainable.

That’s common and often helpful. Coaching focuses on goals, habits, and performance; therapy/medicine address diagnosis, treatment, and clinical care. With your written permission, we can align high-level goals (no sensitive details) so your supports work in harmony.
