Frequently Asked Questions
Executive Strategic Coach | Psychotherapist | Trusted Advisor to Leaders for 30+ Years
What Is Executive Coaching?
What exactly do you do?
+I work privately with executives, founders, and consultants to help them navigate high-stakes decisions, internal power dynamics, negotiations, and organizational complexity. I provide direct, actionable strategic coaching that cuts through confusion and leads to clear, confident decision-making.
How is this different from therapy?
+Great question — and no, this isn't therapy. My coaching is strategic and forward-focused. While my background is in psychotherapy, the work I do now is tactical and based on outcomes, not emotional processing. If you're looking for professional insight to solve high-level leadership and career challenges, you're in the right place.
Who This Is For
What types of clients do you typically work with?
+Executives managing pressure and politics. Founders navigating growth, conflict, and chaos. Consultants working through complex negotiations or difficult stakeholders. Anyone leading at a high level and feeling the weight of it.
What are the common issues your clients face?
+- Overwhelm from competing priorities
- Unclear decision paths or conflicting input
- Negotiation challenges with hidden agendas
- Power struggles or unseen internal resistance
- Leadership confidence or executive presence issues
How It Works (Online Format)
What's your process like?
+We start with a private consult. From there, we develop a fast, focused plan. My work is direct — no filler, no fluff. Clients typically meet with me virtually in focused sessions designed to deliver real-time insight and forward movement.
How often do we meet?
+This depends on your needs. Some clients prefer weekly or biweekly sessions, others meet as needed during critical moments. You're not locked into anything — this is custom work built around you.
My Coaching Approach
How long have you been doing this?
+I've been working with leaders for over 30 years — originally as a psychotherapist, and now as a trusted strategic advisor. I've helped people through crisis, transition, leadership leaps, and high-stakes negotiations across multiple industries.
What's the investment?
+I offer customized packages based on the scope of work. If you're interested in working together, reach out for a private consultation — and we'll figure out what's right for your situation.
