Honest Answers

Is this therapy?

No. I’m a coach, not a licensed therapist, counselor, or doctor. I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. What I do is help you get clear on what you want, build a plan, get moving, and stay accountable. If you’re dealing with serious depression or other mental health issues, please work with a licensed professional. Coaching can go alongside that, but it doesn’t replace it.

Do I have to quit drinking?

No. I’m not going to force sobriety on anyone. We’ll look honestly at the role alcohol plays in your life, and you decide what to do about it. Some people cut back. Some quit entirely. Either way, it’s your call.

Important: If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be medically dangerous. Talk to a doctor before you cut back or quit. I’m not an addiction treatment provider.

Is it online or in person?

Coaching is online, so you can work with me from anywhere.

What happens on the free call?

Thirty minutes, one-on-one. You tell me where you are and where you want to be. I tell you honestly whether I can help. If it’s a fit, I’ll walk you through the program and the price. If it’s not, I’ll say so. No pressure either way.

How much does it cost?

We’ll go over the 12-week Out of the Dark program and its cost on the free call so there are no surprises.

Do I need to be fit or a runner?

No. Start where you are. We build from there.

Do I have to live in the mountains?

No. The Rockies are where I run. Your version of getting outside can happen anywhere.

Who do you work with?

People who are stuck in the dark: depression, drinking, weight, or just going through the motions. People who are ready to do the work.

What if I’m in crisis right now?

Please don’t wait. Call or text 988 (US) or call 911. Coaching is not crisis support.
