Personalized
Coaching is personalized to your needs and goals, and we co-create each coaching session. We will spend time clarifying your values, purpose and vision for the future. We will also ensure that you are equipped with actionable steps to help you achieve your goals.
Forward-Focused
I am here to help you move towards your goals. We will focus on the future that you want to create, not the past that you are leaving behind. Our coaching is about designing and bringing to life your next chapter.
Confidential
Confidentiality is at the core of my coaching practice.
I prioritize privacy and trust, ensuring that your personal information and sessions remain completely confidential.
Client Feedback
"Carrie provided a safe, judgment-free space to explore what my next chapter could look like. Each session, she helped me hone in on a specific focus. She created thoughtful, very doable challenges that helped me actually practice the things I said I wanted to work on. Perhaps most importantly, she consistently reminded me that growth doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, and that there is real success and peace to be found in the in-between. Working with Carrie was grounding, encouraging, and truly impactful during a season of change.

"Carrie helped me clearly identify my core values and better understand how I work. Our time together gave me language for things I had felt but hadn't fully articulated. She also helped me recognize specific behaviors that support my effectiveness at work, as well as those that don't serve me as well. I appreciated her guidance, insight and ability to create space for meaningful self-reflection. I came away with greater clarity and confidence in how I want to show up in my work."
Karen A.
"Carrie has been an instrumental guide to helping me navigate some complex issues. Carrie is kind, thoughtful, and a strong active listener. She challenges your thinking while providing you with a safe and brave space to openly talk about what is coming up for you. Throughout our sessions, she utilized so many neat and interesting ways to help me think through some challenges and ultimately, arrive at some impactful insights and solutions that I continue to reflect on and implement today. For anyone needing support and someone to help guide you through complexities and challenges with an empathetic and thoughtful lens, do some coaching with Carrie!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we work together?
First, I offer a complimentary sample session to get to know each other, let you experience my coaching style, and see if we are a good fit to work together. From there, we will design our personalized coaching relationship.
Given the nature of coaching, I offer coaching sessions in packages and do not offer standalone coaching sessions This is because it takes time and commitment to achieve meaningful, sustainable change. Our first session will be foundational and will focus on getting to know you and the transformation you desire. From there, we will move into our regular cadence. As much of the work of coaching happens between sessions, we will typically meet every other week, though this can be tailored to your needs.
Available individual coaching packages:
-
6 sessions (typically 3 months)
-
10 sessions (typically 5 months)
-
12 sessions (typically 6 months)
