Holding Space for the In-Between

Why I Do What I Do: Holding Space For The

In-Between


Not every moment is rock bottom — and not every answer is black and white. This is why I coach.


For much of my professional life, I’ve worked with people standing at the edge of change — the kind of change that’s no longer optional. The divorce papers have been filed. The relationship has fractured. Rock bottom has arrived.


It’s the point where you feel like you have to make a decision, but even the thought of choosing what to eat feels like too much. Waking up, getting dressed, pretending you’re okay — it can all feel impossible. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of everything, and feel like you need to fix it all right now — while barely holding it together.


That feeling — the heaviness, the confusion, the urgency — is exactly why I became a coach.


I wanted to create a space where people didn’t have to wait until they were in crisis to reach out. A space where it was okay to say, “I’m not sure what I want,” or “I feel like I’m somewhere in the middle.” Because not everything is black and white. So often we’re taught to believe it’s either stay or go, married or divorced, happy or miserable. But the truth is, there’s so much life — so much possibility — in the grey area in between.


That’s the space I work in.

Through coaching, I help people explore that in-between. I help them find the words they haven’t been able to say, clarify what they need, and communicate in a way that’s honest, kind, and effective.


I’ve also had the honor of walking beside clients after divorce — as they begin to rebuild trust in themselves, reconnect with who they are, and eventually explore dating again. For anyone coming out of a long-term relationship, that can feel incredibly vulnerable. But it’s also a powerful reminder: healing is possible, and new chapters don’t have to look like old ones.



So why do I do this?



Because I believe everyone deserves support — not just at the end, but in the middle.

Because I’ve lived in that space too.

And because it’s okay to not have it all figured out.


You don’t have to go through it alone.


If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or somewhere in-between, I invite you to book a free connection call. There’s no pressure — just a conversation. And once we begin working together, I’m available between sessions to support you every step of the way.
