FAQs

My approach to coaching and consulting is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, challenges, and aspirations. To effectively meet individual client needs, I follow a personalized and flexible process:

Initial Consultation: Our work together begins with a Discussion & Discovery session during which I gain an understanding of your specific goals, challenges, and the context of your current situation. This may involve discussions, questionnaires, or reflective exercises designed to uncover your needs and preferences. 

Collaborative Goal Setting: Based on the initial consultation, we collaboratively define clear, achievable goals tailored to your desired outcomes. This ensures that our work together is focused and aligned with what matters most to you.

Customized Strategy Development: Leveraging my expertise in various coaching and consulting methodologies, I develop customized strategies that address your specific needs. These strategies may include a combination of coaching sessions, practical exercises, resource recommendations, and ongoing support mechanisms.

Adaptive Sessions: Recognizing that needs can evolve, I maintain flexibility in our sessions to adapt to new insights, challenges, or changes in your goals. This adaptive approach ensures that the support you receive is always relevant and impactful.

Feedback and Adjustment: Regular feedback sessions are integrated into our work together, allowing us to assess progress towards your goals and make necessary adjustments to our approach. This ensures that the services you receive are continuously refined to meet your evolving needs.

Resource Provision: Beyond our sessions, I provide tailored resources, such as articles, books, exercises, and tools to support your growth and learning. These resources are selected to complement our work together and empower you to take active steps toward your goals.

By following this personalized approach, I ensure that my services are not only tailored to meet your individual needs but also flexible enough to adapt to your journey’s dynamic nature. My goal is to provide you with the insights, strategies, and support you need to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Flexibility: I can meet a wide range of my clients’ needs within a single session.

Efficiency: It maximizes the value of time spent with my clients by addressing both their internal (mindset, beliefs) and external (strategies, actions) development needs.

Empowerment: While consulting offers expert advice, integrating coaching ensures that my clients feel empowered to make choices and take actions that align with their personal and professional goals.

 Ontological coaching is an innovative and powerful form of coaching that focuses on the fundamental way of being of individuals. Unlike traditional coaching methods that may primarily address specific behaviors or skills, ontological coaching delves deeper into the core aspects of how we perceive, relate to, and navigate our world. It examines our underlying beliefs, emotions, body, and language, offering a holistic approach to personal and professional transformation. 

While many coaching forms concentrate on achieving specific goals or improving particular skills, ontological coaching works on the foundational level of being. This means we look at your overall stance towards life—your attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions—and how these elements shape your experiences and results. By addressing changes at this core level, ontological coaching facilitates more profound and lasting transformation.  

In ontological coaching sessions, you can expect to:

Engage in deep, reflective conversations that challenge and expand your understanding of yourself and your possibilities.

Explore how your way of being influences your actions and outcomes.

Develop new perspectives and practices that align with your desired way of being, leading to more authentic and effective engagement in both personal and professional realms.

Experience a supportive and challenging environment that encourages your growth and the realization of your full potential.

Individuals looking to improve their personal or professional lives, manage stress better, enhance communication skills, or navigate life transitions can benefit from my services. Whether you’re seeking actionable strategies for immediate problems or deeper, more transformative personal development, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and goals.

Ontological coaching is beneficial for anyone looking to make significant changes in their life or who feels stuck in their current ways of thinking and being. It’s particularly valuable for individuals seeking to:

Enhance personal and professional relationships.

Improve leadership skills and presence.

Navigate life transitions with resilience and clarity.

Achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs and goals. A typical session may involve discussing current challenges or goals, exploring strategies or actions, and developing a plan for implementation. Coaching sessions often delve deeper into personal reflections and long-term development, while consulting sessions are more focused on immediate solutions and strategies.

Most clients notice a substantial positive shift or progress toward their goals within 8 to 12 sessions when they actively engage in the work between sessions. This consistent effort amplifies the impact of coaching, allowing insights and strategies to take root and flourish. Yet, it is important to recognize that every individual operates on their own timeline. Life’s complexities and unique circumstances influence the pace at which progress is made, and multiple factors impact one’s capacity to move forward.

Clients often begin coaching with the intention of addressing a single goal or solving a particular problem. However, as they deepen their self-awareness and develop new skills, many discover a broader desire to continue the transformative work. This expanded focus may include other personal aspirations or different areas of their lives, reflecting a holistic evolution rather than isolated change. Embracing this ongoing journey frequently leads to sustained growth and a richer, more fulfilled experience both within and beyond the coaching relationship.

My master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, ontological coach training, and several years of experience as a counselor in private practice, combined with my specialization in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), inform my approach to both coaching and consulting. While I do not provide therapy within my practice, the insights and techniques derived from my clinical background allow me to offer profound, action-oriented strategies. This foundation enables me to support your personal growth and enhance your problem-solving capabilities with nuanced understanding and practical tools grounded in evidence-based methods.

The duration of a coaching-consulting engagement can vary greatly, as it is tailored to meet your specific goals, needs, and circumstances. Typically, clients find the most value in committing to a series of 60- to 90-minute sessions over a period of time, which allows for the development of trust, deeper exploration of challenges, and the implementation and refinement of strategies.

Short-term Engagements: For focused, specific issues or goals, short-term engagements might range from 4 to 12 weeks/sessions. These are often action-oriented, targeting immediate challenges or opportunities where quick, strategic interventions can lead to significant improvements.

Long-term Engagements: For more in-depth personal or professional development, long-term engagements can extend from 6 months to a year or more. This longer timeframe supports the exploration of underlying patterns, the establishment and achievement of complex goals, and sustainable transformation.

Ongoing Support: Some clients prefer an ongoing engagement for continued support, accountability, and guidance as they navigate various phases of their lives or careers. This open-ended arrangement allows our work together to evolve with your changing needs and goals.

During our initial consultation, we will discuss your goals and determine a recommended engagement length that best supports your journey. Remember, this is a collaborative process, and adjustments can be made as we progress to ensure that our work together remains aligned with your evolving needs and aspirations.

I ask that all current and potential clients provide at least 24 hours' notice if they need to cancel or reschedule their session. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a cancellation fee. For cancellations within 3 hours of the scheduled session, a fee equal to the full session amount will be applied. This policy ensures respect for both your time and mine, allowing for optimal scheduling and availability.

Ontological coaching is particularly powerful for those seeking profound personal transformation, offering a path to discover and shift limiting beliefs, emotional patterns, and habitual behaviors that impact your life and relationships.

I believe that everyone should have access to support, regardless of their financial situation. If you are experiencing financial difficulties but feel that my services could help you, please do not hesitate to reach out. I offer a limited number of reduced-rate slots based on individual circumstances and availability. We can discuss this option during our initial consultation to ensure that support is accessible to you in a way that respects your current situation.
