A life coach is a wellness professional who helps people make progress in their lives. A life coach gives you personalized support, mentoring and guidance to help you overcome challenges and find greater fulfillment. Jill is a certified life coach which means she is professionally trained to help you, to protect your privacy, and to recommend therapy if that is appropriate.

Life coaching is for anybody who wants personalized help in building a happier and more meaningful life. Life coaching is also beneficial to those dealing with transitions such as changing schools, navigating a new career, or simple moving through adolescence. Life coaches often focus on specific areas including weight loss, addiction and sobriety, business, dating, family life, financial, life skills, mental health, spirituality, and sports coaching.

Jill’s specific focus is on adults and teenagers whose peace of mind is compromised by overwhelming thoughts and emotions that result in life-changing and happiness-threatening conditions such as anxiety, compulsiveness, blame, anger, or scrupulosity. If you are able to work or attend school but your happiness is severely affected by anxiety, stress or negative thinking, life coaching can bring healing.

Jill’s mission is to compassionately help people see new approaches and recognize personal truths so every person can fix broken relationships, and end unnecessary mental and emotional suffering.

Therapists have a degree and are licensed mental health professionals. They must follow a specific code of ethics and must adhere to professional regulations regarding confidentiality and ongoing training.

Life coaching is NOT for those whose condition creates an immediate threat to their own life or physical safety, or creates an unsafe physical environment for others. Coaching is NOT for those with psychological disorders such as clinical depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, or any physical or emotional abuse. These individuals should find appropriate mental and medical care from licensed medical professionals.

If you or a loved one are struggling with a mental health condition, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 for information on support and treatment facilities in your area.

The right life coach can have an invaluable impact on your quality of life. Not all life coaches have the same training, so look for one that is certified through a respected program (such as the Life Coach School or other similar programs.) Jill is a certified life coach through the Life Coach School. 

Not all life coaches take the same approach to help you solve your concerns. What you get out of coaching may depend a lot on your relationship to your coach. Look for a coach that is well-suited to working with your personality and your approach to solving problems. Look for a coach who offers a free no-obligation consultation call. Take advantage of that call to ask questions and find out if the coach is someone you believe you (and especially your child) can trust and work well with.  As a parent, recognize that coaching is like having another person on your parenting team. Find a coach you can trust and will be a worthwhile partner with you.

A key benefit of working with Jill is the ability to gain a fresh, informed perspective on the challenges you face in dealing with anxiety, compulsion, perfectionism, scrupulosity, etc. Changing your mindset and worldview is challenging but can be done. Jill can help see new insights into your challenges, and also help you zero in on negative thought patterns and behaviors that stand in the way of your success.  

Most clients see remarkable progress in the course of 12 weeks. Some require additional sessions. How well it works is mostly up to you and your ability to do the hard work required. During your initial consulting call Jill can help you determine if coaching is likely to work for you, and give insight into how much coaching people in your situation typically need.

To begin, schedule a free 45 minute zoom call with Jill to mutually determine if Jill is the right coach for you or your teen. During the call, Jill will ask you questions and answer any questions you have. She’ll  learn a bit more about you and your goals, and you will learn if she is a good fit for your needs.

No problem. A session can be rescheduled with 24 hour advanced notice. No refunds are given for sessions missed without notice.

You will typically work with Jill for 12 weeks. Sessions are held weekly, typically on the same day and time.

Coaching sessions are held over zoom. You can dial in by phone if you prefer audio only.

Jill’s 12 week package start at $1,800. The package includes 12 weekly sessions, email support from Jill in between sessions, and a private web page where Jill will share session notes or other training materials that will help you. Read more here.

If you are interested in a payment plan, this can be arranged with Jill in your initial consulting call.

Yes. It is hard and you may feel vulnerable at times. It is worth the effort and the cost to finally achieve peace of mind.
