Disability Advocacy & Coaching
Who Could Benefit from Advocacy & Coaching Services?
My desire to also provide coaching to families and individuals who are impacted by various disabilities came from seeing a need through my own journey navigating the world and its many systems. This service does not include counseling, and is not therapy. My aim in this type of coaching is to provide holistic education, advocacy, and practical tools for anyone looking to support themselves, a loved one, an employee, or a friend who identifies with the disability community. I believe we all need people in our corner, and that the disability community is no different in regards to this!

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of Coaching do you provide?
I provide disability-related or medical-related coaching to support caregivers, school students and staff, and community members in being able to sufficiently and authentically support their differently-abled loved ones, colleagues, students or friends. This includes disability education, practical tool implementation. and advocacy coaching.
Who could benefit from Coaching?
Anyone and Everyone! With nearly 1 in 6 children being born differently abled the chances are you know someone who struggles to have access, inclusion and equity in their various environments. Whether you want a bird's eye view of life with a disability to improve your advocacy work, practical tools to support your loved ones, or you want to create more equity and inclusion in your workplace, our work together can be as tailored to your disability advocacy and coaching goals as needed.
How does pricing work?
My disability related advocacy and coaching sessions are $100/hour for individuals. Group pricing is available upon request for schools, churches, and community groups.
How does counseling and coaching differ?
Therapy is treating medical necessity, whereas coaching/consulting is dealing with more situational, non-clinical, less severe problems. When providing disability advocacy and coaching services, I am not in the room as an LPC. Instead, I come to you as an individual living with a disability myself, and I provide support and resources to aid in non-clinical problem solving as you navigate your unique experiences or challenges. If I feel you may benefit from counseling services instead of coaching, then I will refer you for those services within our company, you will discontinue with coaching services and sign separate agreements/contracts to be seen as a counseling client from there on. To avoid confusion, there will be no counseling client who is also a coaching client and vice versa.
Would you come to speak about Disability and DEI advocacy for my workplace/church/community group event?
