A life coach is a thinking partner, and here’s what I mean by that: sometimes we’re simply too close to our own lives to see what’s shaping it. A fish can’t see the water it swims in, and we’re often the same way with the patterns, beliefs, and assumptions that have become completely normal to us.
You can be incredibly capable—run a company, raise a family, hold everything together—and still miss what’s happening underneath it all. Some beliefs have been with us for so long they don't feel like beliefs, they feel like common sense.
As your coach, I’m close enough to understand what you’re carrying and far enough outside your water to notice what’s hard to see from the inside.
You know your life better than anyone. I bring the questions, perspective, and vantage point to help you see it more clearly. That clarity can change everything!

All of my Life Coaching is done over the phone with clients all over the United States.

We’ll start with a free discovery call to talk about what’s on your mind, where you feel stuck, and what you’re ready to change.
From there, we’ll work together for eight weekly sessions. For many clients, those eight focused conversations are enough to create meaningful change. Others choose to keep going.
There’s no forever commitment here. After our eight weeks, we’ll decide what kind of support makes sense for you, based on your needs and my availability.

Therapy and coaching can both create meaningful change, but they serve different purposes. Therapy is led by a licensed mental health professional and may focus on healing, mental health concerns, and understanding the past.
Coaching focuses on where you are now, where you want to go, and what may be keeping you stuck along the way. We’ll look at your patterns, challenge the thinking that keeps you circling the same places, and turn insight into action.
For some people, therapy and coaching work beautifully alongside each other. Coaching is simply a different kind of support, with a strong focus on clarity, movement, and what comes next.
-
xI can’t promise you’ll like me—although I do consider myself pretty likable ;)—and I can’t promise I’ll be the right coach for you. Some people are deeply attached to their hamster wheels, even when they can finally see them.
That’s why the discovery call matters. It gives you a real sense of how I work before you commit to anything. If we don’t jive, there’s no pressure to book.
And if we do, well then buckle up. We’re about to have some serious fun.

I have had clients fresh out of grad school and clients that are empty nesters. Majority of my clients, however, are in their thirties and forties. They are in the thick of building their career, their families, or are in transitional stages where their kids have gotten older and they’re desiring to focus more on themselves and what they desire to build in their next season of life. All of my clients are highly informed and incredibly self-aware. They are readers, leaders, movers, and shakers. This is often why they find themselves frustrated with feeling stuck. What they can offer every friend around them they cannot figure out themselves. That’s where I come in.
-
You do not need to be in crisis to work with me. In fact, coaching is often most useful when you are functioning well on the outside but know something underneath needs to change.
If you are dealing with severe depression, active trauma, suicidal thoughts, addiction, an eating disorder, or another mental health concern that requires diagnosis or clinical treatment, a licensed therapist is the better fit. If you don’t already have a therapist in mind I’m a big fan of BetterHelp.
Coaching is for the space where you are ready to look at your patterns, make decisions, create change, and move forward with support and accountability.
-
No problem is too small.
If it’s taking up space in your head, draining your energy, affecting your decisions, or keeping you circling the same thought, it matters.
Some of the biggest shifts begin with something that seemed small at first. We pull the thread, see what’s underneath it, and go from there.
-
I do give my clients homework, but I promise I’m not sending you back to your life with a workbook and a sharpened No. 2 pencil.
What you’ll work on between sessions depends on what we’re doing together. If you’re moving toward a specific goal your homework may be a clear action step. If we’re disrupting an old pattern the work may feel surprisingly small and repetitive.
Our brains and nervous systems learn through experience and repetition. Small changes practiced consistently can begin to make a new response feel more familiar, instead of asking you to overhaul your entire life by next Tuesday.
The goal is to keep the work meaningful, doable, and connected to your actual life. You’ll leave each session knowing what to pay attention to, practice, or try before we talk again.
-
Yes. What you share with me stays between us.
Trust matters in coaching, and I want you to feel free to be honest about what’s really going on without worrying about where that information will go.
I’ll always treat our conversations with care and respect. The only exceptions would be situations where disclosure is required by law.

The International Coaching Federation’s large global study found an average fee of $244 for a one-hour session worldwide, and $272 in North America.
I work with clients in eight-session packages for $1,200, which comes to $150 per session.
Why eight? Eight weeks gives us enough time to dig in, notice what’s keeping you stuck, and practice doing something different with continued support.
Your discovery call is always free.

“I found out about Jess through word of mouth and was nervous to reach out. I’m so glad I did. I was stuck in a job that paid well but was soul-sucking. Jess helped me figure out what was really beneath the story I was telling myself. I am so grateful for the clarity she helped me unearth!”
