you have a project, Maybe you want support and help finding your way but not in a traditional therapeutic context. Coaching and consulting offer a different kind of relationship — practical, forward-looking, and grounded in real-world strategies.

Coaching focuses on wellness, resilience, and helping you take action. It’s about accountability, clarity, and finding steady ground — without diving into therapy or diagnosis.

Consulting is where I share lived experience, hard-won perspective, and resources in areas I’ve personally navigated — life as a relinquished and adopted human,  trauma, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I don’t claim to be an expert, just someone who’s been there and can help you avoid reinventing the wheel.

What it isn’t: Coaching and consulting are not therapy, treatment, or medical care. They don’t replace working with a mental health provider. They’re not covered by insurance.
​
⚡ Disclaimer: Coaching and consulting services are for educational and supportive purposes only. They are not psychotherapy or medical advice, and do not create a therapist–client relationship.

psychotherapy v coaching

Therapy (psychotherapy) is a clinical service that treats mental health conditions, is licensed by the state, and may be covered by insurance. Coaching is non-clinical, focused on growth, wellness, and strategies for moving forward.

Q: Can you do both with me?
Yes, but with clear boundaries. When you’re in New York, we may work together in therapy. When you’re out of state, our work is coaching. You’ll sign documentation clarifying the difference. Q: Is coaching covered by insurance?
No. Coaching and consulting are self-pay only. BUT i'll give you paid invoices you can use if you deduct healthcare expenses on your federal tax return
