Work with Career Wavelength

Advisory is built around a specific question or decision point — you come in with something concrete, and you leave with a clear direction. Coaching is built around a longer arc — a transition, a pattern, a bigger shift you're working through over time.

If you're not sure which one fits, a good rule of thumb: if you can name the question, it's probably Advisory. If the question keeps changing as you dig into it, that's Coaching.

An advisory session is a focused conversation with a specific destination. You arrive with a question or task — a mock interview, preparing for an annual review, getting advice on a specific work situation — and we work through it together. You leave with a clearer sense of what to do next. It's contained by design.

A coaching session is different in structure and purpose. We're not just answering a question, we're building something. There's more reflection involved, more looking at patterns over time, and more space for thinking that doesn't resolve in a single sitting. The work compounds across sessions in a way that a single advisory conversation isn't designed to do.

Neither is better. They're just built for different moments.

If you're weighing your options and want a little guidance before committing to anything, book a free 15-minute consult. We'll talk through what you're navigating and I'll give you my honest take on what kind of support actually makes sense for your situation. No pressure, no pitch — just a real conversation to help you figure out your next step.

Yes, and it happens more often than you might expect. A lot of people come in for a resume review or a specific question, and somewhere in that conversation it becomes clear there's something bigger they want to work through. That's a natural place to transition into coaching.

It works the other way too — coaching clients sometimes return later with a specific question or challenge that's better suited to a single focused session.

Both are priced the same hourly, so there's no financial barrier to moving between them. You're not locked into anything.

Yes — there's a complimentary 15-minute consultation available before you commit to anything. It's a real conversation, not a sales call. We'll talk through what you're navigating and whether this is actually a good fit. If it's not, I'll tell you that too.

All sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom, which makes scheduling around your energy a lot more practical than commuting to an office would. Sessions are conversational — you don't need to prepare anything specific or show up with a polished agenda. We work with wherever you actually are that day.

No — career coaching isn't covered by health insurance. However, if your employer offers a professional development budget, that's worth checking into. Career coaching is a legitimate professional development expense and some employers will cover it.

If you're managing significant mental health symptoms, processing trauma, or need clinical support, therapy is the right starting point — and I'd encourage you to prioritize that. Career coaching works best when you have enough capacity to focus on the practical and strategic side of your work life.

That said, coaching and therapy aren't mutually exclusive. A lot of people do both simultaneously — working with a therapist on the deeper stuff and a coach on the career piece. If you're not sure which applies to you right now, the free consultation is a good place to figure that out.

Life happens, and I get that — especially when you're managing a condition where some days are just harder than expected. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance and we'll find a time that works better.

For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, the session is forfeited — but you're welcome to reschedule rather than lose it entirely. All purchases are non-refundable, so if you're unsure about timing, the free consultation is a good place to start before committing.
