What This Work Is
This is not coaching in the conventional sense.
There are no worksheets. No accountability check-ins. No homework. No five-step framework promising transformation by Tuesday.
This is precision relational work. It is grounded, embodied, and direct. It meets you in the complexity of your actual life - your relationships, your ambition, your grief, your power, your patterns - and stays there until something reorganizes.
The mechanism is metabolization, not management. You are not learning to cope better. You are learning to digest what has been unprocessed so the patterns that keep running your decisions, your relationships, and your sense of self can finally resolve at the root.
When that happens, things shift. Decisions become clean. Relationships change. The need for external validation quiets. Power stabilizes.
That changes everything.
You might be navigating a relationship in crisis -- or one that's simply stopped growing.
You might be part of a family trying to heal old patterns that keep replaying across generations, conversations, and holidays.
You might be a leader who performs well but feels the gap between your public competence and your private uncertainty.
You might be in transition -- career, identity, partnership -- and the familiar strategies aren't working anymore.
You might be someone who has done significant personal work and knows there's another level, but can't seem to reach it alone.
The presenting concerns vary. The work underneath does not.
What unites the people I work with is not their industry, age, or situation. It's their readiness. They are willing to be met with precision, to tolerate discomfort without rushing to fix it, and to stay in the conversation long enough for something real to change.
Who This Is For
How It Works
I work on a retainer basis - not by the hour.
Together, we define a container: starting points, ending points, and ongoing support between sessions. This is not a transactional relationship. It is a working partnership designed around your actual needs.
Sessions happen by phone or in person in Tacoma, WA. Scheduling is built around your life, not conventional business hours.
The first step is a consultation where we assess fit for both of us. The consultation fee is $200, which can be applied toward future work.
You will be heard with a precision that changes what you are able to say.
"This may seem like a no-brainer, but you are such an effective listener. You pick up on the nuance of what I am saying. You listen to what is being said, but how it’s said, why it's being said, and what it means in the context of my life. I sense too that you listen “between the lines,” so to speak, for those things that aren’t being said. You listen without judgment or evaluation. I feel as though I have the space to say everything I feel I need to, without fear of shame or feeling as though you have jumped to a conclusion. But you also hold me accountable. I hear you saying, "hold on a second". You are not afraid to challenge and reframe my thinking. You are authentic. I enjoy your shared sense of humor and passion for life"
