Coaching
Life / Relationships / Creativity / Motivation / Work-Life Balance
Let's understand and build a positive, empowered future that invites joy and meaning in your life. Whether you have experienced trauma, discrimination, burnout, infidelity, or just a slow feeling of not having the same effectiveness and energy in your daily life and relationships-- we can work together to promote healing, and self-confidence.
Telehealth enables individuals and couples around the world to engage in valuable coaching. You can improve important aspects of your life like your well-being, work-life balance, motivation, inspiration, sexual health, and relationship satisfaction all from the comfort of your own home. I offer coaching services using behavioral analyses, motivational interventions, psychoeducation, mindfulness practices, narrative techniques, and more. Making time to focus on your well-being is important for all facets of life. We will address concerns related to past experiences that have affected your sense of dignity and worthiness. We will explore the impact of 'shoulds,' guilt, and shame on your work-life balance, motivation, and creativity.
Coaching is not psychotherapy. If therapists are surgeons, coaches are your personal trainer. Coaching is a thought provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and/or professional potential. Coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes, and managing personal change. This is a transformative process for personal/professional awareness, self-discovery and growth. If you are having difficulties, a coach may be able to help you clear up how you think about the situation, untangle confusing interactions with others, get some perspective on what is going on and how it impacts you, set inspiring new goals and creating new outcomes.
In individual coaching, as well as relationship coaching, if there are significant difficulties with mental illness, therapy or couples therapy would be recommended. Ultimately, coaching feels less intensive and rarely requires you to re-tell trauma. Coaching can help you find peace, balance, and well-being in places you may have been feeling stuck or unmotivated. Additionally, I am a relationship expert and employ relationship coaching techniques to promote change, communication, and understanding in less distressed clients looking for relationship changes and insights in a coaching rather than therapeutic format.

Relationship Coaching
Telehealth enables couples around the world to engage in valuable coaching related to communication, quality time, fun, novelty, sexuality, and relationship maintenance. You can improve communication, sexual health, and/or relationship satisfaction from the comfort of your own home.
Relationship Coaching is not couples therapy, but it can help you untangle what is going on for you in your relationship. Relationship coaching is a life coaching specialization that helps people find greater fulfillment in their personal relationships. A relationship coach can help you set relationship goals, understand your current interactions, thrive inside your relationship(s), grieve, or take your long-term romance to the next level. You can attend individually, with your partner(s), or in some combination. Together we dive right in using practical information and sophisticated interpretation to facilitate fast results, growth, and resilient changes after just hours of coaching.
Coaching packages are tailored to each individual or couple's unique sexual and emotional styles and concerns. We will identify goals and the obstacles in the way of obtaining those goals. Honest, informed feedback can be life-changing, especially when so many people are unwilling or uncomfortable speaking (and listening) about difficult and deeply personal topics. My personal style can be brutally honest and direct while also being enlightening, reassuring, nonjudgmental, validating, and even humorous and comfortable. Coaching is focused, and elegantly efficient at, tackling difficult topics and persistent communication difficulties head-on.

"I was hesitant to start coaching, it is an expensive commitment and I feared acknowledging our issues might make them worse. My partner and I are so glad we decided to go through with it. I can’t stress enough how worthwhile Ingrid's coaching is. She provided valuable tools and a professional, safe, and grounding space where my partner and I had the confidence to address our needs."
