Why Coaching

Psychotherapy tends to pathologize your pain;

Coaching aims to EMPOWER YOU

You’ve been psychologically manipulated, cheated on, and lied to. You wonder how a smart, capable, person like you could have fallen for it.

You’ve lost your identity.

Therapy culture teaches you to pathologize your pain—

giving you a new identity with a treatment plan:

You have anxious-attachment

You’re a people-pleaser

You have trauma

You self-sabotage

You have PTSD

You need years of therapy

You need antidepressants

You learn to do mental gymnastics to connect it all to childhood.

Is this “healing” or have you just invited a new entity to co-opt your mind?

There are better ways to get your life back.

Walk Away

I help people end their relationship, heal from manipulation, and rebuild a new life.

When relationships end it can feel like your world has shattered. The sadness we experience is intense. You may have lost your identity in the process.

Whether the relationship you're in is causing you harm, has run its course, or you just need help deciding, I can help you every step of the way. It doesn't matter how long you were with them--divorce or breakup--your pain is valid. You may be in decision mode, in the process of a divorce, or struggling to recover after it's all over--I can help:
