FAQs
About Coaching & My Approach
What is life coaching?
Life coaching is a goal-oriented, action-driven process that helps individuals gain clarity, break through limiting beliefs, and create sustainable change. Unlike therapy, coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go, providing strategies and accountability to help you move forward.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching is future-focused, helping you develop strategies for success, whereas therapy often explores past trauma and deep emotional healing. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, but it can complement it by providing practical tools for personal growth and resilience.
What is metacognition, and why does it matter?
Metacognition is "thinking about thinking." It’s the ability to understand your own thought processes, which allows you to identify patterns, recognize limiting beliefs, and shift your mindset for better outcomes. My coaching integrates metacognition to help you not just react to life—but actively shape it.
What makes Beyond the Gate Coaching different?

Trauma-Informed & Neurodivergent-Friendly Approach – I understand diverse thinking styles and emotional responses.

Judgment-Free Coaching – I meet you where you are, without pressure to fit a certain mold.

What happens in an Introductory Coaching & Strategy Session?
This is a foundational session where we:

Coaching Specialties & Suitability
Who do you typically work with?
I coach professionals, leaders, and individuals looking to:
✔ Build self-awareness and emotional intelligence
✔ Overcome self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or burnout
✔ Develop leadership, decision-making, and confidence
✔ Navigate neurodivergence, mindset shifts, or life transitions
Do you offer coaching for neurodivergent individuals?
Yes! As someone with AuADHD, I understand how brain function impacts motivation, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. My approach is designed to be neurodivergent-friendly, meaning we work with your brain—not against it.
Do you help with career transitions or leadership development?
Absolutely. My corporate leadership background combined with coaching helps professionals at all levels develop confidence, leadership presence, and strategic decision-making.
Can coaching help with self-doubt and imposter syndrome?
Yes! Imposter syndrome often stems from deeply ingrained beliefs. Coaching helps you reframe self-perception, build confidence, and recognize your strengths.
