Find the support that fits where you are

Whether you're just starting out, navigating a major transition, or simply wondering what else there might be for you, there's an option designed for exactly this moment.

One session

Individual Session

A focused 60-minute conversation on whatever you're working through right now. Bring a specific challenge, a decision you're weighing, or a document you'd like to think through together.

  • 60-minute video session
  • Recording of the session for your personal reference
  • One week of email support

Three sessions

3-Session Package

Three sessions over six to eight weeks to build momentum on a defined goal. Ideal for a focused sprint: preparing for an interview, revising a key document, or working through a specific decision.

  • Three 60-minute video sessions
  • Recordings of the sessions for your personal reference
  • Email support between sessions

Six sessions

6-Session Package

Six sessions over three months for deeper, sustained work. Best for navigating a longer process: the job market, a career pivot, or building new habits and systems that last.

  • Six 60-minute video sessions
  • Recordings of the sessions for your personal reference
  • Email support between sessions
  • Progress check-in at the midpoint

Common questions

Can we work on things that aren't strictly speaking "academic"?

Yes, absolutely! Your professional and personal selves are deeply connected, and so of course are part of your coaching journey.

What if I'm not really sure about what I want to work on?

That's just fine. Coaching can be just as much about exploring as it is about focusing on a specific problem.

How do I know which option is right for me?

Start with a free discovery call. We'll talk through where you are, what you're working toward, and which option makes the most sense — no pressure, no obligation.

Do you offer discounts for students or underemployed clients?

Yes. Reduced rates are available for students and those who are underemployed. Please mention this when you get in touch and we'll find something that works.

Do you work with clients outside North America?

Yes. All sessions are conducted on Zoom, so I work with clients wherever they are.

Can I pause a package?

Life happens, so arrangements can be made for a package to be paused. Reasonable notice, where possible, is always appreciated.

Is coaching confidential?

Completely. Everything discussed in our sessions stays between us. I don't share client information with institutions, departments, or anyone else. Recordings of sessions are only for your personal use and as part of my own professional development.

Not sure where to start?

A free 30-minute discovery call is the best first step. We'll talk about where you are, what you're hoping to change, and whether coaching is the right fit.
