Individual Life Coaching for Families
I’m really looking forward to working with you!
So, let’s get started!
First things first: Click the button below to learn a little bit more about life coaching and why it’s so important in all of the work I do.
Next: If you have not already had a Free Breakthrough Session with me, you’ll need to do that first. This session is intended to clarify if coaching is a good fit to support you and what you would like coaching to do for you. You can sign up for your session here.
If we decide move forward with coaching, I will suggest a coaching program. You are free to choose whichever program is best for you. Once you choose your coaching package and complete your purchase, you will be emailed a coaching contract and other materials, as well as a link to my online scheduling console. You may then schedule your sessions.
Just so you know, coaching is most effective with a longer-term commitment, which is why my packages start with a minimum of three months. The average price per session decreases with larger packages.
All packages come with unlimited email laser coaching. Clients may call in between sessions if they have questions or get stuck. Calls shorter than 10 minutes are not billed.
About Life Coaching
Many people think life coaching is just about having someone in your cheering section. But that’s actually the least important aspect of life coaching.
So what is life coaching, exactly?
At its core, life coaching is using a set of tools with clients to help them get clear on their priorities and achieve their goals.
While that’s great for any kind of endeavor, the tools of life coaching are particularly important when it comes to working with families struggling with a loved one’s substance use.
This is because the thing that makes the tools that life coaches use with their clients so effective is that many of them work by temporarily shutting down the amygdala – the fear center of the brain.
This is useful because when we’re steeped in fear, we don’t always make the best decisions. While your fear does deserve a seat at the table, in most cases, we don’t want fear chairing the meeting, so to speak.
Taking fear out of the driver’s seat is essential for family members trying to address a loved one’s substance use.
A loved one’s substance abuse can be terrifying. And for good reason. While recovery IS possible, we do not yet have a cure and outcomes can be tragic. Family members do have every reason in the world to be afraid.
But the more stressed and afraid we are, the more the amygdala in our brain is going to shut down our prefrontal cortex. When our prefrontal cortex is offline, we’re not able to use reason or logic in our decision making.
And unless you’re in a situation where immediate, knee-jerk reactions are absolutely necessary (say a car swerved into your lane and you need to take immediate action), you want your prefrontal cortex fully online.
And that’s one area where coaching can be really helpful.
The second reason coaching is particularly helpful for families struggling with a loved one’s substance abuse is that there is no one right answer to the problem.
Substance use disorders occur on a spectrum and what may be useful at one end of the spectrum may not be as useful at the other. In addition, the particular issues that are driving the substance use can vary from one person to the next. So can the family’s particular needs around the substance use.
The tools life coaches use help their clients personalize their approach to the problem and get clear on their unique priorities, the personal goals for themselves and their family, and their unique needs.
This is why I include coaching exercises in almost all of my offerings.
A loved one’s substance abuse is legitimately scary. And there is no one right answer.
Life coaching is an extremely useful tool in these kinds of scenarios.

Please note: because coaching is a process, I do not sell single sessions to new clients. I recommend a three-month package to start to ensure consistent progress. Established clients who wish to purchase a single session may do so. Singles sessions are billed at $150/session and are invoiced via PayPal or Venmo. Payment must be made before the session.
The first month of any package is not refundable as the Free Breakthrough Session is designed to determine if we are a good fit. Haven’t scheduled your Free Breakthrough Session yet? You’ll want to do that first. Use the button below to sign up for your Free Breakthrough Session.
