What is the approach?

Solution-focused coaching for people who are motivated to find the solution and path for themselves.

In coaching, you won't be told what to do or given advice as in mentoring or consulting. Coaches believe that you're the expert on your own life, and the wisdom you need is already within you. Coaching helps you uncover it and convert that into actions.

In coaching, you will not unwind the past or dwell on the problems as in therapy. Coaches believe you are whole and there is nothing to "fix". Coaching focus on your future and the solutions that will get you there.

* If you're dealing with significant mental health challenges such as depression, addiction or trauma, therapy is the right place to start. Coaching isn't a replacement for mental health treatment.

conversation

What should I expect in a session?

You will bring a topic for coaching, along with a desire for change and a willingness to take action.

Through conversations, we will co-create a safe and open space for your inner resourcefulness to emerge and flow. Clarity, insights and action items will naturally come forward.

The first session is 1hr to 1.5hr long. Following sessions, if needed, can be between 30 minutes to 1 hour long each. We will follow your lead whether you would like to have another session after each time we meet.

payments

How much is the cost?

Based on the value you receive from our sessions, contribute what feels meaningful and fair for you. The market range is $50-$200 per session, but no one will be turned away due to fees.

Payment can be made via Zelle to email after each session or at the end our work together.

Who is the coach?

I'm Dan, a scientist with a Ph.D. in biophysics. I received my coach training from Erickson Coaching International and the Mindfulness Coaching School.

I grew up in China and moved to the US for graduate school in 2008.

I am a highly sensitive person who used to struggle with "I'm not good enough" and "I don't deserve it". This later led to a tremendous amount of personal growth. When I tried to share my learnings with others, I realized that change needs to come from within and happen in each person's own way. That's how I started on the path to coaching.

I am constantly inspired by the wisdom and strength of my clients. The more I coach, the more I love it.

Some blog posts I wrote and my LinkedIn page.

"Being coached by Dan is one of the most powerful seeds planted in my life." "Being coached by Dan is one of the most powerful seeds planted in my life. She creates a truly safe space for me to open up, look inward, and learn tools that help me continue growing on my own. Through that process, I've learned to align with myself more deeply --- and that alignment has become a steady source of strength in both my work and my life. Thank you, Dan!"
