"I can only show you the door.
You’re the one that has to walk through it." – The MatrixÂ
Coaching provides the tools and guidance, but it’s up to the physician or family member to take the steps toward personal and professional growth.Â
Coaching for Physicians, Their Spouses & Organizations:
A Holistic Path to Burnout Recovery and Wellness

Individual Coaching for Physicians:
Burnout doesn’t have to define your career or your life. In my individual coaching program, I work directly with physicians to address the unique stressors of the medical profession and create a path toward lasting well-being. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of burnout, identify areas of imbalance, and develop personalized strategies to help you regain your sense of purpose, energy, and passion for both your career and personal life.
This coaching program focuses on practical tools for stress management, boundary setting, and work-life balance. We’ll also incorporate techniques for improving mental and physical health, ensuring that you can thrive both in and out of the workplace. My approach is tailored to meet your individual needs, helping you create sustainable changes that enhance not only your professional performance but also your overall quality of life.

Coaching for Medical Spouses:
Supporting Your Partner and Family While Thriving Personally
Supporting a physician spouse presents unique challenges that can often leave you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from your own sense of self. Balancing the demands of your partner's career, raising a family, and managing the household can sometimes overshadow your personal goals, desires, and well-being. It’s easy to lose yourself in the process, but you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
My coaching program for medical spouses is designed to help you reclaim your own identity, balance your responsibilities, and find personal fulfillment—all while continuing to support your partner. Together, we’ll address the stressors of medical life, explore ways to prioritize your own well-being and develop strategies to strengthen your relationship with your spouse and family.

Coaching for Medical Couples
Life in medicine creates unique pressures for couples, often leading to physician burnout and family stress. The demands of a medical career—long hours, emotional exhaustion, and the unpredictability of work—can strain even the strongest relationships. For spouses, the challenge is balancing the needs of a busy medical professional while managing family responsibilities, often leading to their own burnout or feelings of being overwhelmed. These pressures can impact communication, connection, and mutual support, making it difficult for couples to stay in sync.
We will work together to help you and your spouse navigate these challenges with confidence and care. Through personalized coaching, we focus on improving communication, fostering mutual understanding, and building a stronger foundation of support. My approach helps you both manage the stressors of medical life while creating a healthier, more balanced partnership that benefits not only your relationship but also your personal well-being.

Group Coaching for Medical Couples:
Connect, Learn, and Grow TogetherÂ
Medical couples face a unique set of challenges. The long hours, emotional demands, and unpredictable nature of a medical career can lead to physician burnout, while the non-physician spouse often takes on the responsibility of managing the home and family. This dynamic can result in feelings of isolation, exhaustion, and strained communication, leaving both partners feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Family burnout can occur when the spouse and family are impacted by the physician’s stress, making it even more difficult to maintain balance and harmony.
In Group Coaching for Medical Couples, you’ll join a supportive community of other couples who understand the pressures of life in medicine. Through shared experiences and guided discussions, you’ll gain new insights and tools to strengthen your relationship. Together, we’ll focus on improving communication, fostering balance, and promoting overall wellness for both you and your partner. This group setting offers a space to connect, learn from others, and grow together, ensuring that you and your spouse can navigate the challenges of medical life with a renewed sense of support and understanding.

Coaching IS:
- Goal-Oriented: Coaching helps you clarify and achieve specific personal, professional, or wellness goals (SMART).
- Collaborative: It’s a partnership where we work together to explore solutions, strategies, and actionable steps toward your objectives. Refers to additional healthcare professionals when appropriate.
- Supportive: Coaches provide accountability and encouragement, helping you stay on track and navigate obstacles.
- Future-Focused: Coaching emphasizes where you want to go, what changes you want to make, and how you can take steps forward.
- Empowering: Coaches help you uncover your strengths, guiding you to create the solutions that work best for you.

Coaching IS NOT:
- Therapy: Coaching is not meant to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. While coaching focuses on growth and forward movement, therapy addresses psychological healing and mental health recovery.
- Consulting: Coaches don’t tell you what to do or provide ready-made solutions. Instead, they guide you in discovering your own insights and strategies.
- Mentoring: A mentor shares their own experiences and provides advice based on their expertise. In coaching, the focus is on your experiences, goals, and path forward, with the coach helping you navigate the process.
- Judgmental: Coaching is a non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges and goals openly, without criticism or bias.
- DOES NOT evaluate and/or diagnose.
- DOES NOT replace your medical provider or therapist.
- DOES NOT prescribe medications
