Life is constant growth and change. We often know we are “growing” when something we want in our lives remains challenging for us to achieve it. In many cases, growth is difficult, but we know where we want to go and there isn’t a mental health diagnosis underlying our difficulty. But it would be helpful - many times game-changing - to create and cultivate a safe and confidential space for you to understand your motivation for and inner resistance to the change you seek in your life. That is what we do in growth coaching.

Coaching focuses on specific goals in a time-limited engagement of sessions and creatively and collaboratively designed homework assignments. It does not include diagnoses, trauma processing, or an indefinite timeline. Sometimes, issues emerge in the coaching process that are in the scope of psychotherapy and I discuss this with each client as needed and make appropriate referrals.

While every client’s goals and needs are unique, it is important that we set a clear beginning, middle, and end to our coaching engagement.

First we start with a free consult to discuss what you’re looking to work on. If we agree we are a fit, then we meet for an initial session to design a customized sequence of sessions and homework mapped to your goals.

Coaching engagements typically run for 3 to 6 months.

This list is by no means exhaustive, but some of the more frequent goals I have worked with clients on include:

• Changing careers

• Transitioning to a leadership role at work or organization

• Expanding or redeveloping friend groups and social life

• Moving to a new city or country

• Improving body image and processing resistance to fitness and nutrition

• Finding belonging in the queer community
