Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with me.

I work with high-performing professionals often leaders, lawyers, executives, accountants, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, and more who are successful on the outside but struggling to maintain clarity, energy, or confidence on the inside. Many of my clients are navigating burnout, self-doubt, overwork, or the pressure to “keep it all together.”

Performance coaching helps you operate at your highest level mentally, emotionally, and strategically. It’s not therapy. It’s forward-focused, solution-oriented work that helps you clear internal blocks, build capacity, and lead or live with more impact, ease, and purpose.

Great question. While I am a licensed therapist, coaching is different. It’s not clinical treatment focused on a medical mental illness diagnosis and symptom relief. It’s a partnership focused on goals, habits, and strategy. Coaching is best for people who are functioning but want to optimize their performance, leadership, and well-being. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression / numbness, or utilizing substances to cope, but the root of these mental health experiences is chronic stress – not a mental illness on its own.
If you're looking to heal significant trauma or have someone listen to you each week and just process what’s happening, therapy may be a better fit.
On the plus side, if you are an ambitious professional who has ADHD or is experiencing anxiety, depression as a result of burnout, or turning to substances, I bring my deep education and experience of mental health to our work.

No. Because coaching is not treating a medical mental health diagnosis, it is not covered by insurance. Clients have successfully had their coaching reimbursed by their firm or organization. Entrepreneurs and others are able to deduct this as a business expense.

Absolutely. I understand confidentiality is of the utmost importance to my clients. I was trained to follow HIPPA rules and compliance and those are the standards I maintain today. No one will know you’ve worked with a coach unless you choose to tell them.

Coaching is bespoke, so every client set their own goals. Here are some common areas I help clients with:

  • Burnout prevention and recovery
  • Imposter syndrome and confidence
  • Time and energy management
  • Leadership training to build your high-performing team
  • Public speaking and performance anxiety
  • Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and procrastination
  • Boundaries, communication, and difficult conversations
  • Sustainable success without sacrificing health or family
  • Improving relationships with children and partners
  • Elevating health and life: physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, financial, and relational
  • Expanding capacity
  • Reclaiming presence, inner peace, and experiencing more joy

We start with a free consultation to see if we’re a fit. If we decide to work together, I’ll customize a coaching plan based on your goals. Clients who live in Knoxville have the option to meet at my office. I meet with clients globally via Zoom. We find our cadence of meetings that work (e.g., weekly, biweekly, etc.) and coaching includes follow-up tools, strategies, and support in between. Most clients work with me for 3–6 months, depending on what they want to accomplish. Some clients choose a year-long initial commitment, others renew after their initial round. 

Yes. I offer workshops, CLEs, and leadership trainings on topics like burnout prevention, emotional intelligence, mindset, team dynamics, and peak performance. These sessions are interactive, research-backed, and tailored to the needs of your group. Reach out and we’ll design something that fits.

Clients report everything from better sleep and focus, to increased confidence, clarity, and calm. Many finally feel like they’re running their life or business instead of the other way around. They lead with more presence, set boundaries without guilt, and stop burning out to succeed. You can read testimonials from previous clients to get an idea of their experience and results. 

It’s easy. Book a Free Consult and grab a time that works for you. We’ll talk about where you are, where you want to be, and whether coaching is the right fit. No pressure just a real conversation.
