What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
That’s a great question before engaging a coach! The simplest way to differentiate is therapy focuses on looking at your past to understand your today behaviors. Coaching is looking forward to create different habits and work toward current and future goals.
I believe completely in therapy and am excited to be pursuing my Masters in Counseling, but I do want to make sure that you know that therapy and coaching are very different and that engaging a coach will not replace or eliminate the need for a therapist. I’m happy to discuss further if you have additional questions related to whether coaching or therapy are right for you.

What qualifications do you have?
I am currently a graduate student working toward my masters in Counseling from John Brown University in Arkansas. I hold an Enneagram Certification, Life Coach Certificate, and Professional Organizer Certificate. I have also completed many corporate programs through my Fortune 300 employers that focus on leadership coaching as well as culture coaching.

What is your Enneagram Type?
I am a 3w2.

Are you a counselor?
I am not a Licensed Counselor. I am currently working toward my graduate degree and I plan to seek my Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) licensure with the state of Arkansas upon graduation.

What is Curated Health?
Curated Health is the mental health counseling business that I am a co-owner of! I am so proud of Curated Health and look forward to being able to provide mental health counseling services to the Northwest Arkansas community in the future.
