Coaching Services

Here’s the best way I have heard this put :

Therapy helps you get from -100 to 0. Coaching helps you get from 0 to 100.

If you are looking for a diagnosis of a mental disorder, please seek out a therapist instead of a coach. If you are a resident of the U.S., I recommend looking for providers on your insurance website or Psychology Today. You might even be able to receive therapy for free. If you are looking to understand how you tick and work on strategies to address an issue in your life, a therapist and a coach could both help, depending on the issue at hand.

If you are looking for a more hands-on approach that still focuses on understanding bit emphasizes planning, homework, and accountability then a coach would likely be a better fit for you.

Coaching can help you identify and understand the roadblocks that are already standing between you and your goals.

If you could just achieve all of your goals right now, then I doubt you'd be looking for help, right? I think people are likely only looking for help when they already feel stuck. That help can come in many forms. Therapy is one, and coaching is another, but even help from loved ones, teachers, or colleagues counts here. The difference is that those in the counseling profession are trained in how to help people.

Together, let's figure out what exactly your roadblocks are. What's keeping you stuck? That's step 1.

Then we need to figure out how to cleanse that roadblock so that you can move on. Sometimes, you might just need practical information and to bounce ideas off someone else with more experience. Most of the time though, you'll probably need to work through some emotions that are holding you back, and that's when having someone trained in finding and processing those emotions really comes in clutch.

Then comes execution. We have a plan but will it actually work? You’ll have to execute to find out, and then whether you achieve your goal or not, we’ll go back and review the game tape to see what we can learn.

I am certified as a master-tier coach by Healthy Gamer Institute (HGI) and have maintained a coaching credential with them for over 4 years. This program is certified by the Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC).

In addition to this core credential, I am also certified by HGI in Career Coaching, Creator Coaching, and Family Coaching. I have also taken classes in trauma-informed coaching, group coaching, meditation and mindfulness, and cognitive psychology. I also facilitate peer supervision for other coaches a couple times a week and run a private server for coaches to network with and support each other.

I am currently pursuing a certification with the U.S. National Board of Medical Examiners to become a national board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC) and hope to be certified with them by late 2026.

Sessions can be held over any common video-calling platform such as FaceTime, Discord, or Google Meet.

Additionally, if you don't have access to one of those or are not comfortable putting yourself on video, we can always do an audio-only call on your phone.
