Frequently Asked Questions
“Do I have to completely stop drinking to work with you? Can I just cut back instead?”
I'm not a moderation management coach. I have experience with moderation, but most of my clients come to me with the intention of quitting because they've already been through the ups and downs of trying to make alcohol work in their lives. The goal is to create a life that doesn't need a lot of "coping." I want you to feel aligned, clear and empowered. That said, I will not make you do anything you're not ready for and I will meet you exactly where you are. I promise!
“What can I expect by the end of this?”
The goal here is to show you that you can live a satisfying life without booze. We'll work to curate a sober lifestyle that you're proud of. You’ll love yourself and your life so much that you won’t want – or need – to numb, filter or darken your days with alcohol. You’ll stop questioning so you can access the vibrant life you deserve.
“How is this different than just going to 12-step meetings or counseling?”
I believe everyone should have multiple tools in their sobriety toolkit–so you can definitely partner with me alongside attending meetings, or seeing a therapist, or doing any other form of treatment. This program is meant to hold you accountable and provide you with someone you can turn to at any time.
I’m brimming with valuable resources that supported my sobriety in my early days and continue to support my own sobriety today–and I’m beyond happy to share them with you! In fact, that’s exactly what I’d love to do–give you the information I wish I’d had at the beginning, and help you develop the alcohol-free life you desire.
"I know you're not a therapist, but I really feel like I need someone to talk to. Sobriety feels so lonely and most of my friends still drink. Is it ok if I share my personal stories with you?"
Of course you can, and I hope you will! One of my favorite parts of coaching is to be quiet and bear witness to what my clients are experiencing. It gives me deep insight about who you REALLY are on the inside. I promise to hold a safe space for EVERYTHING you're feeling - anger, sadness, isolation, guilt, fear, etc... ALL OF YOU is welcome here. The more I know about you, the easier it will be to work together to build actionable goals to get you to where you need to be.
