Questions Worth Asking

Coaching works best when you're navigating something that matters to you and you're genuinely curious about your own thinking. If you find yourself asking questions like "What do I really want?" or "How do I want to lead?" or "What needs to shift here?" - that curiosity is what coaching supports.

Therapy typically focuses on healing past wounds, addressing mental health conditions, and working through trauma or psychological distress. It's clinical work, often diagnostically-driven, and usually looks backward to understand how the past affects the present.

Six months gives you space to explore a specific transition, question, or challenge. It's enough time to go deep, shift perspective, and see real change in how you're approaching things.

Twelve months allows for sustained partnership through multiple seasons of your work and life. It gives you space to implement changes, navigate what emerges, and have consistent support through complexity.

We start where you are. You bring what's alive for you - a question you're sitting with, a decision you're navigating, a situation that's challenging you. I listen deeply and ask questions that help you think more clearly about what matters.

Sometimes sessions are exploratory - we're discovering what's really going on beneath the surface. Sometimes they're more focused - we're working through a specific challenge or decision. Sometimes they're quieter - you need space to process rather than produce.

You'll leave sessions with clarity about your thinking, often with insights you didn't expect, and usually with a clearer sense of what you want to do next. Not because I told you what to do, but because you discovered what you already knew.

Honesty with yourself. Willingness to sit with uncertainty. Courage to look at what's hard. Consistency in showing up.

Coaching isn't passive. You're not coming to receive wisdom from an expert. You're coming to think alongside someone who trusts your capacity to figure things out. That requires you to be engaged, curious, and willing to explore territory that might be uncomfortable.

It also requires time - not just for our sessions, but for reflection between them. The work happens in our conversations and in how you carry those conversations into your life.

Yes. For both individual coaching and coaching supervision, I offer monthly payment options that make the investment more accessible. You'll see those options when we discuss working together.

For group coaching, payment plans may be available depending on the cohort. Let me know if this would be helpful and we'll work something out.

I believe clients come to coaching to learn more about themselves and how they work. I'm certified in several assessments and we use them when they make sense for your development.

Whether it's expanding self-awareness through the Enneagram, understanding relationship dynamics through the Strength Deployment Inventory, or getting feedback on your leadership through LEADS 360 or the Leadership Circle Profile, we can decide together what might be useful.

We spend 30 minutes talking about what you're navigating and what working together might look like. I'll ask questions to understand where you are and what you're hoping for. You'll get a sense of how I work and whether this feels like the right kind of support.

You'll leave with clarity about your next steps, whether that's working together or not. There's no pressure, no pitch, no expectation. It's simply a conversation to see if coaching serves what you need right now.

Coaching services generally aren't covered by insurance in Canada, though some employers offer professional development funds that can be used for coaching. I provide invoices that you can submit to your employer if that's available to you.

Coaching is an investment in your development, not a medical service, which is why insurance doesn't typically cover it.

Yes. While most of my work is with Canadian physicians and healthcare leaders, I work with people wherever they are. We meet virtually, so geography isn't a barrier.

My understanding of healthcare systems is most deep in the Canadian context, but the questions coaches explore - about leadership, meaning, sustainable practice, what matters most - those questions cross borders.

I hear this often. People worry they need to have everything figured out before they start, or that they should wait until things are "bad enough" to justify getting support.

Here's what I've learned: coaching works best when you're curious, not when you're desperate. If you're wondering whether coaching might help, that curiosity itself is worth exploring.

We can talk about readiness in an exploratory conversation. Sometimes the answer is "not yet." Sometimes it's "actually, yes." Either way, you'll have more clarity.

The first step is an exploratory conversation - 30 minutes to talk about what you're navigating and whether coaching serves what you need right now.

If it feels right, we'll talk about next steps - whether that's individual coaching, joining a group cohort, or something else entirely. If it doesn't feel right, I'll tell you that too.
