Life coaching focuses primarily on the present and the future. Coaching may involve all areas of a client’s personal and professional life – relationships, career, personal development, self-image, for example. Coaching is a great fit for those who are working to grow, change, and experience greater success and happiness in life, work and relationships.

Life coaching is not therapy. A life coach does not diagnose or treat psychological or mental health issues. Coaching is different from therapy in that we will address any obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals, but we will not engage in therapy or any psychological area or issues. This is a primary distinction between Coaching and Counseling.

Even though I am a licensed therapist in the state of Tennessee, I do not engage in counseling when working with coaching clients. If in the process of coaching, we find you might benefit from working with a counselor or other licensed professional, I will make appropriate recommendations.
