Wellness is a Choice Make Yours Today!
Wellness Coaching
Coaching puts you in the driver’s seat of your own journey, and I am here to provide you with tools, ask you the right questions, and hold space for you on the ride.
Unlike many therapy approaches, we don’t focus on diagnosing what’s wrong, but rather we focus on what’s right!
I am here to help empower you to discover and listen to your own inner-wisdom, your body, and your heart.
This is a team approach, and I act as an honest partner and observer.
Whether you are struggling with balance in your life, managing stress and anxiety, have chronic illness or pain, working on overall wellness goals, or working through difficulty in family or relationships, I am here to help you set, manage, and achieve your goals.
Why Choose This Path?
Goal Oriented
I focus on helping individuals set and achieve specific objectives related to health, well-being, personal growth, and life improvement.
Client Centered
We create a relationship that is a partnership in which the client's agenda takes center stage, and the client is seen as the expert in their own life.
Strength Based
The emphasis is on my client's strengths and assets, fostering self-confidence and empowerment.
Forward Focused
I work with clients on their present and future goals, providing guidance and support to move forward and make positive changes.
Jess continues to take my practice to a new level with her depth of knowledge and grounding wisdom...the gratitude I feel for Jess is profound and difficult to convey in words.

FAQs
No. The consultation (which is completely confidential) is a way for us to get to know each other, for me to hear your story, and for us to decide together if we would be a good fit. I have many incredible colleagues that I will refer clients to if I think they will be better served with a different coach or a therapist.
Working together means that you are ready to commit to get to work! We start with a 90 minute session (either in person or Google Meet) where we will discuss everything you are looking to get from our time together. We unearth your wants, your needs, your goals, and I work with you to get a clear picture of what you are trying to achieve. From there I build a 10 week, pliable, individualized program. We meet weekly for 60 minutes for the next 10 weeks. During this time we create small, achievable goals and I support you through the process of achieving them!
While I love to work with a wide variety of clients, these are some of the areas I am most passionate about:
1. Anxiety and Stress Management:
- In today’s fast-paced world, managing anxiety and stress is essential for overall well-being. As your coach, I’ll work closely with you to develop effective strategies for reducing stress and anxiety in your daily life. We’ll explore relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and personalized coping mechanisms to help you regain control and find peace.
2. Finding Purpose and Meaning:
- Feeling lost or seeking a deeper sense of purpose? Our coaching journey will guide you towards discovering your life’s meaning and purpose. We’ll explore your values, passions, and aspirations, helping you align your actions with your true self to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
3. Chronic Pain and Illness:
- Coping with chronic pain or illness can be physically and emotionally challenging. I specialize in holistic approaches to managing pain and illness, combining conventional strategies with mindfulness, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments. Together, we’ll work on improving your quality of life and overall wellness.
4. Holistic Approaches to Relationships, Family, and Work:
- Holistic well-being extends to your relationships, family dynamics, and work life. I’ll help you explore the interconnectedness of these areas and develop strategies to foster healthier relationships, balance family demands, and find fulfillment in your career.
5. Intimacy and Sexuality:
- Nurturing a healthy sense of intimacy and sexuality is crucial for overall well-being. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges or seeking to enhance your intimate connections, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore and address these aspects of your life.
6. Identity and Attachment:
- Our sense of identity and attachment patterns significantly impact our well-being and relationships. Through coaching, we’ll delve into your identity, attachment styles, and how they influence your life choices and connections. Together, we’ll work on fostering healthier attachments and a stronger sense of self.
Focus: Therapy typically addresses emotional, psychological, and mental health issues, while coaching focuses on personal development, goal achievement, and enhancing overall life satisfaction.
Time Frame: Coaching often has a shorter time frame, with clients working toward specific goals within a defined period. Therapy may be more open-ended and focused on healing and long-term emotional well-being.
Diagnosis and Treatment: Therapists diagnose and treat mental health conditions, while coaches do not diagnose or treat psychological disorders. Coaches work with individuals who are generally mentally healthy and seeking to improve their lives.
Past vs. Present/Future: Therapy often delves into past experiences and trauma to understand and heal, whereas coaching is focused on the present and future, helping clients achieve specific goals.
Role of the Practitioner: In therapy, the therapist is often seen as an expert guiding the client’s healing process, whereas coaching is more of a collaborative partnership with the coach helping the client tap into their own wisdom.
