Coaching is a guided process that helps you gain clarity, heal, and move forward with intention. Through conversation, reflection, and practical tools, coaching supports you in making decisions and building a life that aligns with your values and faith. In a typical 1:1 coaching relationship, a coach and client would meet for approximately 1 hour over Zoom.
No. Coaching is not the same as psychology, counseling, or therapy. Generally speaking, the focus of a therapist is to help their clients identify the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that molded and shaped them to become the person they are today. Whereas the focus of coaching is to meet people where they're at today and help them to move forward. A coach's focus is to assist clients in developing a clear vision of where they want to go, and then supporting them in the journey getting there. Both approaches are valuable and serve the client in personal discovery and personal growth but they differ in their focus.
The average coaching time-frame is usually 12 weeks. However, that can vary depending on the complexity of your situation, the goals you set, and your commitment and openness to the process.
Coaching packages and rates do vary greatly in the industry. Each coach is unique in what kind of program they offer and what their rates are. I do offer package specials and promotional rates periodically so please contact me for my current rates. My current program is listed in the Faithful & Free tab.
Absolutely 100%! Whatever you wish to share about your personal experience and growth will be entirely up to you. I'm committed to abiding by the highest ethical and professional standards and maintaining confidentiality is a non-negotiable, foundational pillar for me.
While I am certified to coach in many areas and niches, my focus is specifically on divorce recovery for Catholic moms through my Faithful & Free online program. My vision and mission is to help women recover from this experiences and successfully reset so they can go on to build a new life they truly love. I do not believe in giving up or staying stuck - no matter what!
Yes, for best results. I have found that personal reflection time after lessons or appointments is extremely valuable. As such, I believe in setting aside a little bit of time each week to make that investment in yourself. The saying holds true: you get out of it what you put into it. I believe the effort you put towards self-discovery, awareness, and mindfulness is a necessary part of healing and will allow you to move forward and reach your goals.
Yes — you are warmly welcome here. This program is rooted in Catholic spirituality, and I want to be transparent about that. The core teachings — healing your identity, rebuilding your faith foundation, finding community, and creating a new life you love — are grounded in Christian truth that belongs to all of us. Some specific practices, particularly around the sacraments and Marian devotion, are distinctly Catholic. Where those appear, I'll always invite you to adapt them to the practices of your own faith tradition. The principle is what matters — the specific practice is yours to shape.
While every divorce is painful, the circumstances surrounding it can be very different. In many divorces, both spouses have been aware of serious problems for some time. There may have been counseling, periods of separation, or extended conversations about the future of the marriage. Even when the outcome is devastating, both people have had some degree of awareness that the marriage was in trouble.
An unwanted, unexpected divorce is different. One spouse asks for a divorce or leaves the marriage without warning, leaving the other person with no preparation and no opportunity to brace for what is coming. For Catholic women, this kind of divorce often carries additional layers of difficulty because marriage is understood as a lifelong sacramental vocation. The healing process following an unwanted, unexpected divorce often involves working through shock, grief, identity loss, and spiritual confusion simultaneously. Recognizing this distinction allows for a more compassionate and realistic approach to healing and rebuilding.
