What Life Coaching Is

Life coaching is a collaborative, goal-oriented process designed to help you:

• Gain clarity on your goals and values
• Overcome obstacles and limiting beliefs
• Create actionable plans for personal or professional growth
• Build confidence and accountability
• Navigate transitions and make decisions aligned with your vision

Coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you identify what you want and supporting you in achieving it.

What Life Coaching Is Not

Life coaching is NOT:

• Therapy or Counseling: I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or counselor
• Medical Treatment: Coaching does not diagnose, treat, or cure any physical or mental health condition
• Crisis Intervention: Coaching is not appropriate for mental health emergencies
• Legal, Financial, or Career Advice: While we may discuss these areas, I do not provide professional advice in these fields

• Mental health conditions (depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, etc.)
• Substance abuse or addiction
• Eating disorders
• Severe trauma
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
