You deserve to know exactly what kind of person you're working with and how they operate before you share anything real with them.
This page isn't fine print. It's a commitment — to you, to the work, and to the standards that make this kind of coaching worth doing in the first place.
Coaching is a partnership. It's a thought-provoking, honest process that helps you move from where you are to where you're trying to go. It is not therapy. It is not counseling. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe anything.
From a Christian coaching perspective, it also means we may draw on Scripture, biblical principles, and prayer — not as requirements, but as tools that inform how I see you and how I show up in the work.
My job is to partner with you in the process. Your job is to do the work. Results come from that combination — not from me alone.
Coaching is
Coaching is not
These aren't aspirations. They're the standards I hold myself to in every coaching relationship.
01
Your situation is the context. You are the focus. I'm not here to fix what's wrong — I'm here to help you discover what's possible.
02
Every session starts with you. I'll listen for what you're saying and what you're not saying. You won't be rushed, redirected, or managed.
03
Powerful questions create more movement than advice. My job is to help you think more deeply, not to tell you what to think.
04
Emotions are information, not problems. I won't rush past them or try to fix them. I'll help you understand what they're telling you.
05
We set goals together. I'll bring forward what you've said you want and help you close the gap between intention and action.
06
As a Christian coach, I stay open to how faith intersects with the work. That attunement shapes how I listen and how I respond.
These aren't policies posted to check a box. They're the commitments that define how I operate — in every session, every communication, and every decision I make on your behalf.
I represent my credentials, training, and certifications accurately. I won't imply I can do something I'm not qualified for — and I'll tell you directly when something is outside my scope.
If what you need is clinical care — therapy, psychiatric support, crisis intervention — I'll tell you, and I'll help you find it. Coaching is not the right tool for every situation, and I won't pretend otherwise.
What you tell me in a coaching relationship is confidential. The only exceptions are situations involving imminent risk of harm to you or others — and if that ever applies, I'll tell you clearly what I'm required to do.
The coaching relationship is professional. I won't blur those lines, create dependency, or put my agenda ahead of yours. The work is about you — not about me.
Ethical coaching means staying current — on best practices, on the science, on the standards. I take that responsibility seriously, because the people I work with deserve it.
This work is available without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other characteristic. Everyone who comes through the door gets the same standard of care.
The ethics and competencies on this page are drawn from the standards of the professional bodies I operate under. These aren't optional guidelines — they're binding commitments.
