Individual Coaching
You are the expert in your own life.
Each of us possesses a deep capacity for insight, meaning, and growth. And everyone needs a little help sometimes. A good coach helps us get in touch with that wise part of ourselves. Coaching also helps us identify resources, drawing on the coach’s experience and knowledge about the challenges and gifts of being human. Together we can address:
Finding Your Way
Are you at a fork in the road? Wondering what to do next?
Do you have a big goal or dream but aren’t sure how to get started?
Whether you are making a change in your personal life or considering a major career move, coaching helps you explore your options, clarify your sense of purpose and direction, and live into your values. I’ll work with you to break big goals into manageable (and actionable!) steps, and hold you accountable though supportive nudges and check ins during sessions.
Existential & Spiritual Matters
Do you have anxiety about mortality? Or do you wonder about your life’s meaning? Perhaps you are well into the second half of life and there are things that feel unfinished. In addition to studies in existentialism, I hold a Master of Divinity degree, training in interfaith chaplaincy, and many years of experience serving as an ordained minister to a theologically diverse population (including many atheists). I am experienced and knowledgable in Judaism, Buddhism, Humanism, Unitarian Universalism, Wicca, and Christianity, and enjoy working with people of all faiths and no-faith.
Late-Diagnosed/Late-Realized Autism
As the scientific world grows in its understanding of autism, more people are being accurately diagnosed or are realizing on their own that they are autistic. Late-identified autists typically flew below the radar earlier in life because they present differently or are “high-masking.” They may have had no idea they were autistic until they experienced something in life that taxed their ability to mask, leading to increased symptoms or autistic burnout. Autistic women especially tend to be overlooked in childhood.
Receiving a diagnosis as an adult— or realizing on your own that you are autistic — comes as a relief for many people. So many perplexing pieces of your life finally make sense! It can also prompt deep reflection and questioning about who you are and what your new sense of self means for your future. As a late diagnosed autist myself, I’ve been there. I’ve also heard the stories of many others. As your coach, I can help you explore meaning, set goals that align with your new sense of self, and move toward them.
