Frequently Asked Questions

  • Coaching is a collaborative process that helps you move from where you are to where you want to be. It’s a structured conversation focused on clarifying goals, identifying roadblocks, and taking meaningful action. At its core, coaching is about building awareness, confidence, and momentum.

  • Coaching isn’t therapy, advice-giving, or venting. It’s not about diagnosing mental health problems. And it is not a patient-physician relationship. Instead, coaching is an insight- and action-oriented approach, designed to help you create meaningful change.

  • Therapy often focuses on treating mental health issues. Coaching centers on personal and professional development, goal setting, and achieving specific outcomes.. As a psychiatrist and therapist myself, I understand both worlds. In coaching, my role is not to diagnose and treat, but to partner with you to set goals, strengthen habits, and unlock potential.

  • Friends care about you, but they’re not trained to challenge your thinking or hold you accountable in a structured way. Coaching offers a confidential, judgment-free space with tools and strategies tailored to your growth. It offers an objective perspective, free from personal biases.

  • Over weekly sessions, we’ll explore what matters most to you, uncover what’s getting in the way, and design clear, achievable steps forward. You’ll leave with insight, direction, and the motivation to take action between sessions.

  • You're capable but facing a crossroads, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the next move. Coaching is your professional guide, helping you find clarity and forge a path forward, whether personally or professionally. Many of my clients are professionals navigating big transitions or rebuilding confidence.

  • I bring an unusual mix: training as a psychiatrist, a deep foundation in therapy, and the strategic mindset of an MBA. My style blends curiosity, accountability, and candor. I help you think clearly, feel grounded, and move forward.

  • Think of coaching like going to the gym: the results depend largely on how much effort you put in outside of our time together. While long-term, lasting change takes time and consistent work, coaching is designed to create meaningful traction early on when you're committed to doing the work between sessions.

  • Not at all. Some clients come with a clear goal; others just know they feel stuck. Either way, we’ll work together to clarify what matters most and build from there. Sometimes, the first goal is getting clear on what you really want.
