Career transitions
Leaving, staying, changing lanes entirely. For the decision you've been circling for a year — and the identity questions hiding underneath it.

Coaching for transitions, big decisions, and the quiet middle bits no one else wants to hear about. We sit with the question until something shifts.

What we work on
Different doors into the same room: what do you actually want, and what's in the way?
02
Mid-life recalibration
The season where the old map stops working. We take stock of what still matters, what never did, and what you want the next decade to hold.
03
Post-burnout return
Coming back to work — or to yourself — after running on empty. Slower by design; pace is part of the treatment.
Slow questions, no advice.
I don't hand out scripts or hacks. We sit with the question — what you actually want, what's in the way, what one true next thing might be — until something shifts. Most clients work with me for three to nine months, then leave. That's the point.

A note
Before the call
Hello,
Most people arrive here having already rehearsed the sentence. They have said it in the shower, in the car, to nobody. It usually starts with “I think I might need to” and then stops.
You do not need to finish it before we speak. The discovery call is thirty minutes and its only job is to find out whether I am useful to you. I will ask far more than I answer. You will probably say something out loud that you have never said out loud, and that alone is often worth the half hour.
What I will not do is tell you what to do. There is no framework here, no five-step method, no worksheet. There is a person who will keep asking the question you keep swerving — kindly, and for as long as it takes. Sometimes that is three sessions. More often it is three months.
And if what you actually need is therapy, or a lawyer, or a fortnight of sleep, I will say so on the call and give you names.
The practice
Certified coach · Portland + virtual
Two sliding-scale places are always held. Asking for one costs nothing and is never mentioned again.
03It ends on purpose
The shape of the work
A free discovery call
Thirty minutes to see if we're a fit. No pressure in either direction — sometimes the right answer is a referral.
The first three sessions
We map the terrain: what brought you here, what you want, what keeps not happening. You'll know quickly whether this works for you.
The middle
Weekly sessions, honest homework, and the occasional walk instead of a call. This is where the shift usually happens — quietly, then obviously.
An ending, on purpose
Coaching should end. We plan the last session from the start, so you leave with your own compass — not a dependency on mine.
Working together
What it costs
Printed rather than quoted, because a coach who will not name a number before the call has already told you something.
Single session
$185/session
None — book one and seeNo package required
- One 60-minute session, in person or by video
- A written note of what we landed on
- Useful on its own for one specific decision
Most clients
The three-month arc
$1,485/12 sessions
Three months, revisited at session threeDiscovery call is free
- 12 weekly 60-minute sessions
- Message support between sessions
- Walking sessions available in Portland
- Stop at session three and pay only for what you used
- A last session planned from the start
Sliding scale
$75 – $140/session
Same as any other clientNo means test
- Two places, always held open
- You pick the number inside the range
- Nobody is asked to justify it
- Identical coaching, identical cadence
Coaching should end. Every arc is priced as a finite piece of work with a planned last session — never a rolling retainer that quietly becomes a subscription.
Clients say
The clarity to decide — and the courage to act.
5 out of 5 stars
“I came in stuck on a career decision I'd been circling for two years. I left with the clarity to make it and the courage to act on it. She doesn't fix you — she helps you see yourself.”

04Before you book
Honest answers first
Is this therapy?+
No — and I'll say so if therapy is what you need, with names of people I trust. Coaching looks forward; therapy often needs to look back first. They pair well.
What does it cost?+
Single sessions are $185. The three-month arc (12 weekly sessions, message support between) is $1,485. Two sliding-scale spots are always held.
How do I know if it's working?+
By session three you'll feel it or you won't. If you don't, we stop — you pay for what you used, nothing more.
Virtual or in person?+
Both. In-person in Portland, video everywhere else. Some clients do their best thinking on walking sessions — that's an option too.
What happens between sessions?+
Usually one honest question to sit with, and you can message me if something moves. There is no homework you can fail and no app to log into.
Do I have to know what I want first?+
No. Most people arrive with a feeling rather than a goal — working out what you actually want is the first third of the work, not the entry requirement.
What if I need to stop?+
Stop. Tell me in a message and we plan one closing session, so the work has an ending rather than a silence. You pay for what you used.
Will you talk to my employer?+
Only if you ask me to in writing, and even then never about content — dates and attendance at most. If your employer is paying, that boundary is in the agreement they sign.
Say the thing out loud.
A free thirty-minute call. Worst case, you've spent half an hour saying the true thing to someone who listens.
