a contemplative approach to care

what is contemplative coaching?​

​​​

I apply the lens of contemplation as a "long, loving look at what's real". 

 

How that shows up in all areas of my work is that being human isn't a quick-fix or perfect: life is non-linear and takes time (long), requires compassion (loving), and courage (real). I love integrating contemplative and embodied practices in my work with deep respect to all identities, beliefs and orientations, that focuses less on surviving/managing/analyzing our lives, and more on the living.

​

My contemplative coaching model allows greater flexibility, integration and creativity in how I support clients for those looking for care outside of the traditional therapy and diagnostic models, while continuing to prioritize the depth and relational safety that have always been central to my practice. ​

​

I specialize in coaching individuals navigating transitions and questions of meaning, identity and belonging season to season. The places in the edges, the liminal, the shedding, the not-yet...or what I personally like to call TheSHIT©️: The shatterings, healing, initiations and thresholds of life.

 

My approach is grounded in presence, depth, and a commitment to inner alignment and integration for every last part of you.

Therapy vs. coaching?

For some, working outside of a traditional therapy model in the form of coaching provides a nuanced form of care to meet their needs and support their goals. For others, more frequent, in-depth care is more beneficial within state licensing restrictions.

 

Both therapy and coaching can provide deep attunement, with differing strengths and drawbacks,

contact me with any questions & to explore what might be most aligned for you.

​self of therapist mentorship

​

In all my years in the therapy field, I’ve found that the third space of mentorship—distinct from therapy or supervision—offers a profound place to be met and supported, where therapists don’t have to choose between their humanity and being a professional in the complex field and times we find ourselves. I am in love with these third spaces where so many of us live and work day to day.

 

I am passionate about working with therapists and helping professionals who want to connect to themselves and clients from a place of authenticity and self-trust vs fear, desire to clarify their professional identity (hell yes we can write a bio that actually feels like you), and don’t want to loose their soul in the systems that be (let’s get into it!).
